Codebits was free for all participants, including plenty of food and drinks. Active recruiting inside the premises was disallowed, and there were little commercial undertones apart from a few product announcements during the opening keynotes.

The number of seats was limited and potential attendees had to undergo a short screening process in order to secure a ticket. The screening was meant to ensure that most, if not all, attendees had a suitable technical background or creative skills related to the event's theme. Applicants such as those in marketing and recruiting were usually rejected.<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:SAPO Codebits project presentations.jpg|right|thumb|Participants preparing to present their projects at the very first Codebits (2007).]] -->

Codebits always opened on a Thursday and had its first morning composed of general keynotes from the organizing company and its partners/sponsors, plus general information about the hackathon and satellite activities. The hackathon began in that same afternoon and ended on Saturday morning, with that day's afternoon reserved for project presentations, voting, and the event's closing ceremony.
