This has been a timely conference. Astronomical spectroscopic classification is facing crossroads that make it wise for us to look carefully at where we are now and which way we should go. The on-going explosion in detection techniques for fainter and fainter objects at all wavelengths and the availability of fast analytical procedures are opening up these new roads. It is a tribute to Fr. Patrick Treanor’s vision that we have gathered here to take stock of the current status and to consider the future of spectral classification and it was fitting that we did so while remembering the pioneering work of Fr. Angelo Secchi
