This conference aims to bring together all researchers, both scientists and engineers, who are interested in AtLAST and want to support its next steps. The invited and contributed talks will span a broad range of topics, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the AtLAST endeavour, such as: astrophysical theory and observations, telescope design and engineering, optical design, instrumentation, weather measurements, renewable energy systems, telescope operations, societal impact, astronomy policies. Ample time will be given to discussions to facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the team who worked on the design study and the community, and to prepare for the next steps.
