The photographs taken at the IWIPS 2005 conference are now up.

IWIPS 2005 will be located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Throughout history, the Netherlands has functioned as a gateway to Europe and the Dutch people have been known for their skills in international commerce. As such, Amsterdam will once again be the setting of international collaboration and facilitate sharing of knowledge on research and development of product for international use. IWIPS is a unique event at which industry professionals, academics and others have access to cutting edge information on issues concerning the development of products and systems for an international and intercultural use. This year's conference is focused on the possibilities for technology to transcend cultural boundaries and the unique challenges that are involved in developing products for a global marketplace.

IWIPS 2005 will feature a variety of presentations, breakout sessions and social events to facilitate both international networking and information exchange.
