UA Colleagues:
Below is a Call for Presentation Proposals announcement from the
LocWorld conference, to be held in Vancouver Canada on October
27-29, 2020 (if the pandemic allows, of course).
I think this conference is an interesting opportunity to put a
Universal Acceptance message in front of an audience that has
reason to be receptive, but probably hasn't thought much about
non-Latin domain names or email addresses before. Maybe some
people on UA-discuss might be interested in proposing
presentations. If so, please follow the instructions below to
submit them to the conference committee. The deadline is 30 April,
2020. I am happy to offer what advice I can to anyone on
UA-discuss who wants to make a proposal.
I myself do want to make a proposal. I will start a separate thread on UA-discuss, giving my idea for a presentation and asking for suggestions to make it stronger. It turns out I live in Vancouver, and can easily walk to the conference venue. Thus I will almost certainly attend the conference whether or not I am asked to make a presentation.
For those who don't know, LocWorld is a conference for product
localisers, translators, and the language industry. The name is
short for "Localization World". Multilingual magazine is
one of the conference producers. LocWorld has a long history. It
is one of the top conferences for the language industry. Attendees
include the product managers who want their product localised, the
translators and localisation specialists who do the localisation,
and the tool vendors who sell to the localisation specialists.
