Celebrate with other fans. The shared excitement of a large group of people can be so inspiring. BroadwayCon gives you access to professionals, but it also gives you access to everyday fans that look up to the talents the stars have as much as they appreciate what you are working toward. It can be as valuable to know what people outside of your industry think as getting advice from the professionals.
