These concepts and philosophies are consistent with those espoused by law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., England, and Canada, and are those taught by the National Crime Prevention Institute, University of Kentucky, Louisville, Ky. Users consist of police officers, citizens, crime prevention practitioners, or anyone else interested in this topic. The conference was developed as an adjunct to local Crime Watch and Crime Prevention programs and is designed to function as an independent communications network between all community-based, grass roots crime prevention programs and crime watch organizations, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and interact directly with the people they serve.

Adaptations in other media, other works by famous creators, and issues such as creator rights are discussed as well. Comic book professionals also stop in from time to time to discuss the industry and field questions from participants.

Rising with the false religious system is a false Christ (Messiah), known as the Antichrist, or Beast 666, and with him a false prophet, who will cause all to worship the Beast 666 or to be killed. All trade will be conducted by means of a mark applied to the right hand or forehead, with those who refuse to take the mark or to worship the Beast 666 being killed.

The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS. Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software, discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access, and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed to support GEOS.
