SPOT will be sharing the booth with Harris Corp., one of our business partners that is heavily involved in providing services to the oil and gas industry. The latest SPOT imagery products and online delivery services will be demonstrated in the booth.
SPOT VAR Symposium a Success
Current and future SPOT Value Added Resellers (VARs) met in Washington, D.C., at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel on February 19 for a half-day educational session. The meeting featured an overview of existing SPOT satellites, products and online services, as well as insights into plans for the SPOT 6 and Pleiades satellites now under development. Thanks to valuable feedback from the attendees, plans are already in the works for future events and programs designed to support our VAR network.

| AmericaView Partnership Launched |

The SPOT-AmericaView Partnership was officially kicked off on March 4 at the AmericaView Conference in Washington, D.C. Under the partnership, AmericaView academic institutions can obtain archived SPOT satellite imagery at discounts of 35 percent or more when the data sets are used in educational or research projects. In just the first month, we are pleased to announce that three AmericaView member schools have signed up for the discounted imagery program.
The AmericaView Consortium, administered through the U.S. Geological Survey, is comprised of university-led, state-based consortia working together to build a nationwide network of informed state and local users, and currently boasts a membership of over 150 universities in 31 states.
