Time has flown by since our last issue of GQ.
It has been a very busy 3 months for the GeoTech Group. In the past 3 months, we participated in GITEX 2005—the largest IT exhibition in the Middle East, followed by the Advanced Remote Sensing Conference—an ISPRS event organized by Remote Sensing Arabia. After the conference, GeoTech Group organized the GeoInformation Day with participants coming from various places in the Kingdom. Dr. Kamil Eren also participated in Eighth United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas, organized by The United Nations, in New York, USA.

During all of these exciting events, we found the opportunity to introduce the GeoTech Group, our capabilities, and our services. Additionally, we acquired many new GeoTech Quarterly readers.
We are working hard to make each newsletter better than the last and hope you enjoy them.
Welcome back.
