Growing Expectations, Engagement, and Opportunities at GAT Caribe Cancún 2024

November 13, 2024
By

GAT Caribe Cancun marks the debut of Gaming & Technology Expo in Mexico.

The event becomes an extraordinary meeting point for companies currently operating in the country, leading economic groups in the local market, and global brands and entrepreneurs interested in establishing new business opportunities in all online and land-based gaming modalities.

On November 26 and 27, the Cancún Center, a renowned convention center and hub for MICE tourism, will gather expert speakers on current regulatory issues, C-Level executives sharing the latest advancements and experiences of their companies, Mexican executives from AIEJA and SONAJA, Peru’s most important association, among other industry leaders who will lead the academic agenda on Tuesday, November 26, from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm (GMT-5). In the evening, GAT and AIEJA will host a Welcome Cocktail for all attendees starting at 7 pm.

José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT, highlights: “We took a step forward to define the realization of our last event of 2024 in Cancun, motivated by Mexico’s growth and potential. We are on the verge of making it a reality. The response to the call has already exceeded our own expectations. We know that Mexican entrepreneurs and the eyes of global brand expansion strategists warmly welcome this event after over a decade without in-person events. I thank AIEJA, Miguel Ángel Ochoa, and all its associates for the trust they have shown, preparing us to host and serve a community of tireless leaders as they deserve.”

Aguirre adds, “The success of online casinos, sports betting, and all online gaming modalities, together with the strong pillars of physical casinos in the region, will become visible with opportunities to enrich current portfolios, offering millions of players in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America disruptive and exciting games featuring artificial intelligence, cutting-edge technology, and benefits for operators and players.”
