First I summarize the highlights in different wavelengths as described in the oral presentations. Then I discuss the need for statistical techniques, some key astrophysical questions which should be addressed by multi-wavelength approaches, and the changing sociology of the field.Invited talk in IAU179, to appear in IAU Symposium series (Kluwer, eds.
