Access to the technical sessions, keynote presentations, exhibits and BOF sessions requires a conference pass, which usually costs between $1795 to $1995 USD.

For many years, the conference was hosted by Sun executive and Java evangelist [[John Gage]].<ref name="iw-1999"/>

In 1999, the conference played host to an event called the [[Hackathon]], a challenge set by [[John Gage]]. Attendees were to write a program in Java for the new [[Palm V]] using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register the device on the Internet.

After the 2010 acquisition of Sun by [[Oracle Corporation]], the conference has been held concurrently with [[Oracle OpenWorld]]. Rather than being located in Moscone Center, the conference is now hosted at hotels on nearby Mason Street. In some years, one block of Mason was closed and covered with a tent, which formed part of the conference venue.
