GAT Showcase Bogotá: Successful meeting of the gaming industry

For eight continuous hours, the Sheraton Bogotá Hotel was the epicenter of meetings of business leaders and operators from all regions of the South American nation who find in GAT Showcase Bogotá, the opportunity to carry out commercial exchanges and strategic alliances by updating their portfolios and equipment for large casinos and gaming halls. The event attracted a multitude of visitors from midday on Friday, September 6, creating a dynamic and demanding atmosphere for exhibitors who had to attend requests and demonstrations continuously, achieving very significant economic transactions. It should be noted that this event in Bogotá ratifies the country's leadership role in Latin America, confirmed by the registration of businessmen from 20 countries.

Very positive testimonies and results
José Aníbal Aguirre, General Manager of Gaming & Technology, says: “We had some doubts and concerns with the event's call since during the days prior to, and even on the eve of its inauguration, there was a situation of closure and delay of land transportation in the country that, fortunately, did not stop the will of our clients, friends and followers, to meet their peers and colleagues at GAT Showcase Bogotá in a productive marathon of meetings. The above fills me with satisfaction, as do testimonies from exhibitors and sponsors, assuring that they have achieved results in sales and alliances that far exceeded their initial expectations.”
