Dear 'xliff' List Owner,

As the organizing local committee of the IWIPS 2003 conference in Berlin this 
year, we are contacting Yahoo lists in the area of translation, localisation, 
globalisation, international business, and global culture to request that they 
post information about the upcoming conference on the group list.

The International Workshop on Internationalisation of Products and Systems (IWIPS) 
is the industry event where leading researchers and corporate leaders come together 
to discuss and exchange practical information on the globalization, internationalisation 
and localization of products and systems. Global experts from industry and academia 
have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas, and discuss how best to address 
the issues facing our collective industries.  Our goal is to provide a conference 
which meets the needs and faciliates the networking between many people like 
your groups members.

If you have any questions about IWIPS, the upcoming conference, please do not 
hesitate to contact us, and one of the local committees will respond.  We hope 
that this year's European focus will lead to a much broader attendance and set 
of opinions to add to the discussion!  If you do post the announcement, please 
send us a confirmation message.

Regards,

The Local IWIPS2003 Team

P.S. If you have already posted information regarding the conference, thank you!
