The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a high-precision photometric survey monitoring bright stars over almost the entire sky. Data is being made publicly available after each 27-day sector as 2 minute light-curves (for selected targets) and 30 minute full-frame images. In these session we will showcase some of the exciting science that is coming from TESS, including exoplanet discoveries and characterisation, asteroseismology, eclipsing binaries systems, stellar flares, and solar system studies. We will bring together a broad range of astrophysical research groups and institutes with the aim that these sessions will help researchers optimally utilise the TESS data. We will promote the exchange of ideas and techniques in relation to using the TESS data. We will review the nominal two-year TESS mission (ended in July 2020), and the extended mission (currently operating).
