Title: LHCb Run 2 trigger and upgrade reconstruction
Abstract: The LHCb trigger strategy for Run II (2015--2018) and the upgrade era from Run III (2021) onwards are discussed. A crucial aspect of the LHCb upgrade is the removal of the hardware trigger, so LHCb will move to a fully software based trigger. The latest studies and progress from the upgrade tracking and reconstruction sequence, that will form the basis of the upgrade trigger, are presented.
