Abstract

This proceeding summarizes the highlights of IAU 329, “The Lives and Death-Throes of Massive Stars”, held in Auckland, NZ from 28 Nov - 2 Dec. I consider the progress that has been made in the field over the course of these “beach symposia”, outline the overall content of the conference, and discuss how the current subfields in massive stellar astrophysics have evolved in recent years. I summarize some of the new results and innovative approaches that were presented during the symposium, and conclude with a discussion of how current and future resources in astronomy can serve as valuable tools for studying massive stars in the coming years.
