Founded in 1973, the annual conference has run continuously for 40 years.

The conference, held at the modern Bella Center, will run for two weeks.

This year, the conference runs from Wednesday through July 27.

Consider scheduling an extra half hour in case the conference runs long.

The conference has been running in various formats for over 30 years.
