Over the years, it has remained a completely grass-roots effort, with its organization being handled by volunteers from various colleges, universities and corporations. Its emphasis is on participation and the exchanging of ideas and information. During the day, attendees participate in discussion groups on various subjects as well as see presentations given by colleagues. Formal presentations from IBM and other experienced speakers are featured. During the evenings, dinner and activities are planned to encourage discussion and information exchanges in a more casual environment.
Spouses are also welcome at the evening activities.
