Abstract

This is an era of enormous opportunity in binary star research. The Leuven meeting provided an assessment of the broad scope of observational work, merits of the analysis methods, and connections with theory. Here I outline some of the issues related to spectroscopic, photometric, and high angular resolution observations of binary stars.
