HWSF was created and is currently fund-raised by World Peace trough Technology Organization, which describes it as "an experiment in creating peace". It features 10 stages with music performances, workshops, booths set up by several charities with information about topics such as peace and sustainability, vendors from all over the world and live and exhibited art work in an area called the "Art Alley". Some notorious speakers like R.U. Sirius, Joe Firmage and Craig Newark (founder of Craigslist) have participated in conferences about technology and peace during HWSF.
