One of the talks was directly related with my present research project. I had the opportunity to exchange ideas and recent results with the speaker which were very useful for me and my co-workers. Other talks, although not related directly with my research, gave me a new perspective on my own work. Comments during the talks and in private conversations with different people attending the workshop improved my understanding of several topics of interest for me.

I really enjoyed the workshop in Oaxaca, it gave an excellent overview over the recent developments in the area: in particular I liked the introductory talks on the first two days, which were all excellently presented (not commenting my own talk!). For the rest, Gustavo Jasso's and Tobias Dyckerhoff's talks were very interesting to me, since they concern some exciting new connections to symplectic geometry. All in all, the organizers made a great selection of talks! I also appreciated the long lunch breaks so that we had some time to work with my collaborator Colin Ingalls.
