The music draws from regional and national performers.  It is current, upbeat, and optimistic and geographically and ethnically diverse.

Speakers are both national celebrities and local figures of note - with a common inspirational theme of triumph over adversity. 

Exhibits are provided by local and regionally headquartered national businesses and promote local industry.  The common thread is a shared community.
