"Thank you for inviting me to OPEN. I have rarely been at a conference that I enjoyed so much. It was all about LEADERSHIP: I learned a lot, I came away with some excellent ideas. It far exceeded my expectations. And I am completely embracing Michael Moritz's creed: "I always have time for people who are thoughtful, hungry and creative." It works for the private sector but also for the non-profit sector."

 Grazia Bennett, Exec. Director, Institute of International Education


Numbers are only half the story. I felt a strong sense of energy, optimism and pride amongst the attendees. It is a tribute to your leadership and a strong sense of giving in the community. Congratulations to you and your team on putting together a grand show.
