Main benefits from the meeting:
- networking, discussions
- new insights
- inspiration

Posters:
- quantity - just enough
- poster teasers are very popular

MC meeting - transparent, informative

WG sessions:
- generally good but not enough time for discussions, more active participation for members would be welcome

Advantages of the action:
- networking
- very active community
- participation of non-EU people
- motivation to fund as many people as possible
- friendly atmosphere
- good scientific level
- presence of important actors
- good balance between linguistics and computing
- unbiased

Ideas for future:
- locally group related posters
- take a better care about the space available around posters
- posters should be kept together (in the same room), but one person prefers the split setting to prevent noise
- demo sessions 
- the conference rooms might have daylight
- spend less time on administrative issues
- invite experts of related domains (psycholinguistics, metaphor)
- more activity in between meetings
- establish more connexions between WGs
- small annotation tasks at WG meetings
- create a European resource of MWEs
- organize a shared task
- standardize the terminology around MWEs (e.g. support verbs vs. light verbs)
