Programme
The meeting will include three days of plenary sessions, plus one and a half days of parallel sessions organised to maximise collaborative discussion between scientists. Presentations from the community will preview early SKAO science, while special Observing with the SKAO sessions will share detailed telescope capabilities, operational policies and observer tools for planning SKAO observations. We particularly encourage the participation of early career scientists (see the Social Programme page for details and how to reserve your place at the dedicated ECR event), who will be the major users of the SKA telescopes.

We received an incredible response to the Call for Abstracts, with 619 abstracts submitted in total for a total of 212 plenary and parallel session talk slots. The overall standard of submissions was very high, and represents a huge range of exciting science. We thank the scientific community for such a wide and enthusiastic response. An anonymised review process was followed during the talk selection.
