Can someone tell me about the G-8 summit?

The G-8 summit is coming to the town I work in (I actually live an hour away) and everyone is talking about it. But everyone is talking about how crowded the hotels will be and about all the security problems that might happen. I hear that National guard and secret service are coming. Alot of local businesses are shutting down for the week. Alot of people seem really anxious to get it over with. I admit I don't know much about it and my business is not shutting down, we all have to work. Can anyone tell me what this is all about?

Here's the info on the G8 summit.

I worked on the Non-Bloc Nations Summit one time and it was an exciting thing. You see all these heads of state and I remember I was in total awe.
