The entire format of the Conference will be very similar to past JAINA Conventions, with numerous workshops, panels, seminars, and open forum discussions.

The theme for * this Conference will focus on the environment and the ecology, topics that have not really been discussed from a Jain viewpoint. We also plan on having workshops on matters such as vegetarianism in the 1990's and animal compassion.
