Phoenix auto glass techOne way to encourage auto glass technicians to reach for the stars is to organize a competition for them. This year, the annual Pilkington Clear Advantage Auto Glass Technician Competition (AGTO) will bring competitors in the industry together in Reno, Las Vegas for a great event. Already, there are indications that this year’s AGTO will be keenly contested. The number of competitors for this year’s event is about two times the number for last year’s event so this is a sign that big things are happening.

The auto glass week for this year will include educational sessions, replacement competitions and networking opportunities. There will also be Dinner Ceremony and Gala Awards to add spice and color to the occasion. The climax of this event is the presentation of prizes to winners in the different categories at AGTO.

The champion in each category will receive $5,000 and bragging rights as the best auto glass technician on earth. Second placed winners will get $1,000 while the third placed winners will smile home with $500. For competitors and guests, remember that the important dates are Thursday October 1 and Friday October 2. These dates are subject to change so log on to www.autoglassweek.com for more information on this great event.
