This meeting is one half-day only, designed primarily to give the Collaboration updates on telescope management and operations. There will be a focus on upgrade progress and updates from the Director. For science discussions, the following SALF meeting is an excellent presentation forum and we encourage interested members to register there.

The session will be delivered via Zoom videoconferencing, due to its accessibility with all our member countries. It will also be recorded, live-streamed and stored on the MWA's YouTube channel.
