        Unicode’s annual conference is leaving the Bay Area for the first time in over                
        twenty years, taking place this year in Nancy, France. The event is being                
        organized in partnership with the Missing Scripts collaborative, which includes                
        the Script Encoding Initiative at UC Berkeley, the Atelier National de Recherche                
        Typographique in Nancy, and the Institut Designlabor Gutenberg in Mainz.                
                        
        Our theme this year is Unicode in the World. This can stand for many things –                 
        the role of Unicode’s standards, algorithms, and data as used across various                
        technology stacks, or perhaps the diverse experiences with text technologies by                
        internet users around the world.                
                        
        We invite you to submit proposals to be part of this exciting program. The                
        deadline for submissions is June 1st, 2026.
