I found the workshop beneficial in several ways. Talks that were given at the workshop let me know about several research directions, and brought me up to date on directions I had been aware of. The problem session led to new ideas about open problems that would be good to think about. During the meeting I had the opportunity to resume research discussions with colleagues with whom I had discussed certain specific problems in the past. I also met mathematicians I had not met before (especially postdocs and grad students), and at least one discussion with one of them opened up a new possible research direction.
