Path Forwards 1. Suite of smaller, dedicated (specialised) detectors What physics can it address? vs Hybrid scheme? What technology is needed? Scientific landscape 2. Single large-scale multi-purpose detector Political landscape Talks today & tomorrow will address some of these questions 10

Panel Discussion • Panel topics • Prioritisation of physics topics addressable by LS detectors • International perspectives on scale and scope of LS detectors • Benefits of a single large-scale multi-purpose detector vs smaller, targeted projects • Panel members - thank you! Adam Bernstein, Ed Blucher, Frank Calaprice, Manfred Lindner, Gioacchino Ranucci, Michi Wurm • Panel moderator: Josh Klein 11

Evening Plans • Friday: on-site reception (6pm) Second floor of IARC, lunch room • Saturday: workshop dinner Granite City Buffet style meal, cash bar 12
