The arrival of GAT Events in the Brazilian market marks a turning point in its role as an organizer of gaming industry events.

All of them are interested in Brazil’s current commercial and regulatory framework, which will be addressed over two days of academic sessions and networking events that will lay the groundwork for their involvement in GAT Brasil 2027. This summit of executives and industry leaders will be the starting point for a sustained presence of GAT Events in the region’s largest economy.

GAT Expo San Juan — Puerto Rico

September 8 and 9

Puerto Rico Convention Center

Puerto Rico continues to gain relevance as an operations and development hub for the entertainment industry in the Caribbean and North America. In 2026, the regulatory update led by the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission has stood out for its transparency and modernization. Under its leadership, the arrival of GAT in San Juan last October became a clear demonstration of acceptance and strong reception, surpassing all expectations in terms of attendance and participation from local suppliers and operators, while drawing the attention of new stakeholders interested in this market.

The event scheduled for September 8 and 9 next year already has a significant group of brands interested in coming to the Island of Eden, which closes 2025 with very positive economic indicators. Investment and growth opportunities in a jurisdiction with substantial regulatory progress are now within reach.

GAT Expo Bogota — Colombia

September 17

Hotel Sheraton Bogotá

Bogotá will maintain its agile and specialized format, focused on technical equipment demonstrations and executive meetings between manufacturers, operators and distributors. Due to its compact and high‑impact nature, Showcase Bogotá has become an essential setting for accelerating commercial processes, strategic alliances and product renewal—such as slot machines, cabinets, casino management software, the incorporation of innovative payment methods and more. It has gained significant relevance in the last quarter of the year, driving sales and transactions in the Colombian market, one of the most mature in the region.

GAT Expo Santo Domingo — Dominican Republic

November 7 and 18

Renaissance Jaragua Hotel & Casino

GAT Expo Santo Domingo will return to the Renaissance Jaragua Hotel & Casino on November 17 and 18, given the country’s consolidation as a key hub for gaming business in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. The 2025 edition laid the academic groundwork for a fluid dialogue between retail operators and online betting companies, addressing the current state of the market amid technological evolution, while also sharing regulatory frameworks from across Latin America. The ongoing bill currently under discussion in Congress is expected to move forward successfully, aiming to unify regulation under a single directorate for casinos and games of chance, bringing together all gaming verticals for greater control and protection of both players and operators.

Regarding the stand exhibition on November 18, an increase in the number of exhibiting companies is anticipated, along with greater participation from executives—who, in the recent edition, totaled more than 600 delegates from 20 countries, drawn by the rapid growth of the Dominican market and its ongoing regulatory modernization.

The commercial exhibition will bring together local and international companies with a growing presence in the Caribbean, showcasing innovations in land‑based casinos, machines, sports betting, online solutions, payment systems, certification, security, digital marketing and virtual verticals.
