At its inception in 1998, the Bluetooth SIG was primarily run by a staff effectively seconded from its member companies.

From 2002-2004 the Bluetooth SIG was based in Overland Park, Kansas USA and is now based in Kirkland, Washington.

The SIG members participate in Study Groups, Expert Groups, Working Groups along with committees.

The committees of the SIG deal with the other aspects of licensing, marketing and review including developing and maintaining the Qualification Process, oversight of the Bluetooth specifications, and developing, improving and maintaining the test methodology and concepts as well as other strategic functions.

Any company incorporating Bluetooth wireless technology into products, using the technology to offer goods and services or simply re-branding a product with Bluetooth technology must become a member of the Bluetooth SIG.

These members are the most active in the SIG and have considerable influence over both the strategic and technological directions of Bluetooth as a whole.
