This meeting brought together experts in all fields of astronomical polarimetry to discuss the most recent results in this exciting and often crucial field, and to consider the potential for polarimetry in the era of widely-available eight-metre optical and infrared telescopes, and new facilities in the submm and radio regimes. The conference sessions covered work across the entire wavelength spectrum but apart from the opening sessions on instrumentation and techniques, were organized according to the type of source under scrutiny rather than by wavelength regime or specific technique.
