The 2nd MEETING was held at Brookhaven National Lab., 3-5 February, 2005.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK HERE to view the program and talks.

The 1st meeting of the TeV4LHC workshop was held at Fermilab, 16-18 September, 2004.

The final meeting will be held at FNAL, in the Fall, 2005.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the Tevatron and LHC
experimental groups and the theoretical community to make the best
possible use of data and experience from the Tevatron in preparing for
the LHC experimental program.  This will include understanding how to
use Tevatron data to improve event modelling and theoretical understanding
of cross sections for the signals and backgrounds at LHC, and also how to use
experience with real problems at the Tevatron to best prepare for the challenges
of doing analysis at the LHC.

 The workshop will combine talks and working sessions, with the idea of
 initiating specific projects in these areas.  This activity will ramp up
 into series of workshops throughout 2005.
