You are cordially invited to the 2016 New England Workshop on Software Defined Radio (NEWSDR 2016), which is the sixth installment of an annual series of symposium and workshop events organized by the Boston SDR User Group (SDR-Boston).
This year, NEWSDR will be held at Northeastern University (NEU), and consists of a day-long symposium on Friday, as well as several hands-on workshops the evening before on Thursday. You are welcome to attend either or both events, which are entirely free.
Attendance is typically about 100 people, and attendees are from both academia and industry.
