The Institute of Astronomy at the University of Latvia and the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) will host the 2017 ILRS Technical Workshop on October 02 through 05, 2017 in Riga, Latvia. The workshop sessions will be focused on:

• What are the current and anticipated laser ranging requirements for the various satellites and have we defined them properly?

• How do we evaluate our current performance and is it adequate?

• What factors are currently limiting our network performance?

• What operational steps and tools would help us to better meet satellite ranging accuracy and scheduling requirements?

• What automation capabilities have been implemented or are planned for implementation, and what automation capabilities should stations consider?
