The format for IDRCs is patterned after the Gordon Conferences, this being that plenary morning and evening sessions consist of lecture and discussion. Afternoons are generally kept open (the software shoot-out and aquaphotomics workshop are two exceptions) for meeting with colleagues, rest, and recreation. Lecturers present information with the understanding that audience respects the authenticity and, at times, confidentiality, of the material. There are no pre- or post-conference proceedings published.

Each session moderator solicits lecturers for his or her session, based on the lecturer's expertise in one or more topics within the session. A session typically consists of 4 to 6 (morning) or 3 to 5 (evening) lectures, with each running between 30 and 45 minutes. Ample time is given for questions and lively discussion.
