GAT Showcase is a key event in the land-based and online gaming industry due to its strategic location in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, a leading nation in the regulation of new games.

According to Coljuegos, in 2022, the country shows a 59% growth in sales of the various gaming verticals, compared to the same period in 2021. This is a powerful reason for this commercial meeting to gather the main executives and investors of the sector at the Sheraton Bogota Hotel, on Friday, September 16. Colombian operators expect this positive pace of reactivation to continue with the support of the National Government, which takes office on August 7.

GAT Showcase has an innovative and practical format with turnkey stands, facilitating the staging of the exhibitor, who only has to bring and install the equipment or products to be exhibited in the Santafé Hall. The event will open its doors to the visiting public from 2:00 pm and will last until 9:00 pm.

The brands confirmed two months before GAT Showcase are: Merkur Gaming, Copag, Pragmatic Play, BetConstruct, Metamap, EGT, Novomatic Latam, Win Systems, IGT, Altenar B2B and Mobadoo, who are now sending special invitations to clients and strategic allies. Asojuegos, Cornazar, Fecoljuegos and Fedelco, Federation of Lotteries of Colombia, are also calling their affiliates to attend the most important face-to-face event of the industry in the second semester of 2022.

In this regard, José Aníbal Aguirre says: "It will be an intense one-day exhibition and business day for Colombian operators and foreign companies with operations or projects in Latin America. Likewise, the organization offers leading brands a variety of digital, mixed and on-site sponsorship options. This is the time to 'squeeze' the showcase and make the most of the opportunity. We know that many executives will arrive in Bogota in the days prior to the showcase to hold preparatory meetings, taking advantage of the exclusive rates that the Sheraton Hotel has granted us from September 12 to 18. That is why we recommend you to make your room reservations in advance. "

The organization expects foreign and national visitors from all regions of Colombia. The exhibitors are preparing the commercial show with impressive cabinets, spectacular slot machines and a portfolio of services and accompaniment to their clients from the moment of decision making when acquiring a product, to the start-up in their gaming rooms, as well as the supervision and maintenance of renovated slots and roulettes.

The opening of the registration and purchase of tickets for access to GAT Showcase Bogota, will be online in the coming days on the website of Gaming & Technology Expo.
