Hello Sumit: Thank you for your interest. We are not yet sure of our plans for 2018, but we will very likely run something at NEWSDR and GNU Radio Conference in 2018. We will announce upcoming workshops here on the mailing list. Please feel free to check back with me directly in February for an update.
