45 reports were tabled at the conference, covering many aspects of the event, such as the 1968  Tet Offensive from the view of the US; Mau Than Mau Revolt and Uprising, viewed from the United States; memoirs on the 1968 Offensive by leaders and historical witnesses who directly participated in the 1968 Mau Than Mau campaign; and lessons drawn from the victory.
