Experts from the VAO will demonstrate tools and services for data-intensive astronomy in the context of a range of science use cases and tutorials including:
- Data discovery and access

In the morning we will be showing a number of demonstrations of VO science applications and tools. Lunch will be provided for all participants and there will be informal discussions and Q&A over lunch. Afterwards, from ~12:45 to 2:00pm, there will be some hands-on time with some typical science use cases. You are welcome to bring your laptop and try things out for yourself.
