A short introduction to the subject of the meeting, IAU Symposium No. 167, New Developments in Array Technology and Applications is given. CCD and Array detectors have become the detectors of choice at optical observatories all over the world. Direct imaging, photometry and spectroscopy are all vastly improved as a result. Thirteen IAU Commissions joined in sponsoring this meeting which indicates the wide interest in this subject. In the five days of the symposium the following topics were discussed: New Developments in CCD Technology, New Developments in IR Detector Arrays, Direct Imaging with CCDs and Other Arrays, Spectroscopy with CCDs and Other Arrays and Large Field Imaging with Array Mosaics. A few papers concerning Astrometry with CCDs were given in the poster sessions. Scientific results were also presented in the poster sessions.
