The workshop "The promises and challenges of the ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade" will take place at ESO - Garching from the 24th to the 28th of June, 2024. The aim of this workshop is to widely present the ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade and engage the community by showcasing the science that will be enabled in the upcoming years. At the same time, we will also solicit input from the ALMA community that will be used to inform priorities during the commissioning phase.
