This is an information and Q&A session with SKAO presenters.
We aim to provide a light lunch for attendees

The SKA will be the world's most sensitive radio telescope when it begins full operation by the end of this decade. It will be an important addition to the new suite of ground- and space-based telescopes using multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations to address high priority questions in astrophysics. The past few years have seen great progress toward realising the SKA, with science verification data anticipated to be available to the community starting in 2027. In this lunch session SKAO staff will provide an update on SKA activities, including construction progress, preparations for early science observations and community engagement, and information on how the community will access and interact with SKA data.
