Conference summary

To summarize 54 mostly excellent and innovative talks, plus 57 interesting posters, is an impossible task, which I will not even try. This the more as the focus of this meeting was extraordinarily broad. We discussed many different processes in stars, from mixing to pulsations and mass transfer. And we discussed the whole spectrum of stellar types, up an down the main sequence, including the Sun, and into many branches of evolved states of single and binary stars. As we are all working on more or less particular niches in the field of stellar physics, this meant an extraordinary learning experience for most of us. Indeed, this conference offered a stellar physics course at the highest level, which can not be obtained in any other way.
