Claire was told that coming to OpenCon would be an amazing, exciting, transformative experience. She didn't doubt it, but it made her think of when someone tells you a movie is going to be really amazing but you come out disappointed. In this case, she is "happy to report that the opposite is true". OpenCon has been everything that she was told that it would be and more. She feels it has been an inspiring, humbling and thought-provoking experience: "on a minute-by-minute basis I am experiencing heart-on-fire, mind-blown all at the same time". She has many ideas that she will take home with her, and just hearing the conversations and meeting the other participants and hearing their stories has been impactful for her in ways that she didn't anticipate.
