WET ICE is an annual, international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration.

What sets WET ICE apart from larger conferences is that the workshops are kept small enough to promote fruitful discussions on the latest technology developments, directions, problems, and requirements. Each workshop produces a summary report that appears in the post-proceedings, which are published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

WET ICE '97 consisted of five parallel workshops on different topics related to collaboration technology. Each workshop included paper presentations and working group discussions, with additional joint keynote sessions and a final joint session to summarize each groups' findings.
