Has one of your marketing strategies set you up for success? Attend the Shark (Marketing) Tank learning lab at Auto Glass Week™ (AGW) 2026 to pitch your idea and possibly win a prize.
AGSC Board Member Patricia Smiley will help judge the Shark (Marketing) Tank session at Auto Glass Week™ 2026.Marketing expert Patricia Smiley, president of Quackt Glass and AGSC board member, will lead the lab from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28. She’s hoping the Shark Tank-style session will give attendees “real-life tools and ideas that they can take home and use right away.”
“Marketing funds are scarce for a lot of people right now, so a lot of people will be looking for cost-effective options,” she says. “I’m hoping people will pitch inexpensive ideas that drive customer interaction.”
Attendees should arrive at the learning lab prepared to explain their idea, how they implemented it and why it worked. One person will win a free full registration and sleeping rooms for AGW 2027.
Auto Glass Week™ 2026 will take place Aug. 27– 29 (with pre-event education on August 26) at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio. AGSC members can register today with code DAGS26G to save and secure their spot among the best and brightest in auto glass.
