By

Gaming & Technology Expo has heeded the call of the legal gaming industry interested in the huge Mexican market and has added GAT Caribe Cancun to its calendar of trade shows and events, to be held at the Cancun Center on November 27 and 28, 2024.
Today, almost nine months away from a trade show that will mark a before and after for the sector's commercial meetings on the Latin American map, the organization already has the support of traditional GAT clients such as Pragmatic Play, which now takes the lead as Premium Sponsor of GAT Caribe Cancun, in addition to prestigious brands that are reserving spaces to exhibit their product and service portfolios. Betconstruct, Amusnet, Evenbet, Fast Track and Gamingtec are also confirmed exhibitors.
Gaming & Technology Expo has signed a cooperation agreement with AIEJA, the Mexican Association of Gaming and Betting Entertainment Operators and Suppliers, and AIEJA has announced that it will hold its year-end General Assembly at GAT Caribe Cancun on November 26th.
GAT Attends IV International Gaming Convention in Mexico
The climate of cooperation between the organization GAT Events and the Mexican gaming sector will be evident during the celebration of the IV International Gaming Convention in the CDMX, on March 12, 13 and 14, where Gaming & Technology Expo will be represented by its CEO, José Aníbal Aguirre, who will intervene in the discussion tables and panels organized on the potential of emerging markets in Latin America. This international event will be attended by an estimated 300 experts from more than 20 countries, who will discuss and outline the lines to follow in an economic sector that is currently undergoing important social and regulatory changes.
Commenting on the new event in Mexico, Jose Anibal Aguirre, CEO of Gaming & Technology Expo, said: "It is a dream come true to add GAT Caribe Cancun to our portfolio of events, finding the perfect way to celebrate our 25 years of growth as the most recognized Latin American company in event organization, with a consolidated land-based show in Cartagena de Indias and Bogota, an important event in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, and the novelty of this exhibition in Cancun, with the rapid arrival of online gaming in a market where 80 million people have access to the Internet, there is a palpable need to update and improve the regulation of both online gaming and the casino vertical."
The organizers of GAT Caribe Cancun highlight the inclusion of this event as a contribution to the Meetings Tourism (MICE), an important line for the growth of the economy and they intend to strengthen their presence in the Aztec country so that the fair grows in the medium term and becomes a business reference as a successful annual commercial meeting of the gaming industry of the country, with this first incurs in the Mexican Caribbean. GAT Caribe Cancun will share with its audience two days of conferences with professors and authorities in the mornings and, in the afternoons of November 27 and 28, it will make available to the public the exhibition in stands, under the "turnkey" modality, in the ample halls of the Cancun Center, culminating the days with networking events, in incomparable entertainment centers close to the venue.
