What is the AGTO?
The Auto Glass Technician Olympics (AGTO) is the event for auto glass technicians from all over North America to come together in an educational forum to compete and learn from one another. This annual gathering plays an important role in the AGR industry and is co-sponsored by AGRR magazine and IGA to ensure that technicians have the ability to showcase their skills and techniques through a premier competition and educational demonstrations.

Moving on Up!
Please note the Auto Glass Technician Olympics registration will be held near the Surf Session Rooms which are located on the second floor of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. For those of you returning to the event, instead of heading down to registration we are now one level up from the show floor. The competition itself will be held on the NACE show floor as done in previous years.
