The pi-K scattering enables direct investigations of scalar and vector 
K* states, including the not yet established S-wave k(800) state. These 
studies are also needed to get precise values of vector and scalar form 
factors: to independently extract CKM matrix element Vus and to test the 
Standard Model unitarity relation in the first row of CKM matrix, to 
study CP violation from the Dalitz plot analysis of open charm D meson 
decays and in a charmless decays of B mesons in Kpipi final states. 
Significant progress is made lately in Lattice QCD, in the phenomenology 
and in the Chiral Perturbation Theory to describe different aspects of 
pi-K scattering. The main source of experimental data is based on 
experiments performed in SLAC almost five decades ago at 1970-80s. The 
recently proposed KL Facility incorporating the GlueX spectrometer at 
JLab will be able to improve the pi-K scattering database by about three 
orders of magnitude in statistics. The workshop will discuss the 
necessity for and the impact of the future high statistics data obtained 
at JLab on pi-K scattering.
