This was an absolutely terrific and exciting scientific meeting; one of the best I've been to. I connected with scientists whose work I was -- somehow -- not familiar and it will create meaningful longterm scientific connections.

This was my first meeting at BIRS, and I think it is the perfect venue for such small interactive meetings. Everything was perfectly organized, and the whole meeting operation was flawless. Even though (or maybe because) my scientific focus is at the fringe of the meeting's main focus, I got a lot out of the meeting, got some new ideas for future research directions, and got to know better some of my colleagues.

This was a fantastic workshop, and the organizers and attendees thank everyone at BIRS for facilitating and supporting this highly interactive meeting! We look forward to writing up a detailed report on this workshop in the coming weeks.

BIRS is a fantastic place to hold a mathematical and scientific workshop. The facilities and the infrastructure for holding such workshops are so outstanding and seamless that it allows the attendees to just focus on the math/science and on making lasting connections, both scientific and professional. From an organizer's perspective (I was a co-organizer), BIRS allows for and promotes unique workshops that sit at the intersection of multiple sub-fields, and bringing together people that may not usually talk to each other at more traditional conferences. I loved every moment of our workshop, and the BIRS staff made its organization a pleasure.
