Some highlights of the conference where:
A "virtual camping" seminar encouraging participants to do thinks that defy their obssession. People affraid of germs, fro example are asked to touch garbage and then hug other participants.
A "fashion show" with young people who struggle with being overly meticulious about their dress show off OCD related "makeovers" of intentionally mismatched outfits
