Are you up to it? The world is all but unaware of how skilled you are, how vitally important your performance is to public safety. Come to the International Utility Locate Rodeo and show them!

Everybody wins. The best competitors win prizes. All competitors win recognition, appreciation, admiration. The public wins, too -- with higher quality utility locates and a higher level of safety. Ultimately, the International Utility Locate Rodeo will lead to higher standards of quality and performance.

And for Utility Locate Technicians, a lot of serious competition, a lot greater job satisfaction, and a lot more respect.
