The 2023 Belle II Summer workshop took place July 24-28, 2023 at Duke University in Durham. The meeting webpage can be found at https://indico.belle2.org/event/8841/. The meeting had 58 registered participants with the overwhelming majority attending in person. The event at giving beginning graduate students and postdocs an overview over the Belle II physics program and detector as well as an in-depth exploration of the Belle II software. For the latter, several hands-on sessions were organized to introduce participants to the Belle II software as well as more specialized topics in statistics and Machine Learning. The workshop also featured an ML/AI competition. In addition to the DOE support, the workshop was also supported by the Duke Physics department. We were able to host almost all students that so wished in the Duke Dorms and provide a meal plan. The support enabled us to waive the registration fee for all participants and cover also part of the dorm costs. Furthermore, we covered travel costs for external speakers on ML/AI topics. Figures 1 and 2 show the group picture and a scene from the hands-on sessions, respectively.
