José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of Gaming & Technology Expo, commented: “We are happy and pleasantly impressed with the multitude of thanks, acknowledgments and congratulations received from hundreds of participants at GAT Expo Cartagena. I say shocked because, although we knew that we were going to succeed with the transfer of the exhibition to a much larger venue and suitable in its infrastructure conditions for a gaming fair and we had the pre-registration data that guaranteed good attendance, we were surprised the long lines of visitors who arrived at the last minute. All of the above implies a great challenge and an enormous responsibility for our parent fair and the GAT Caribe events on June 1 and 2 and GAT Showcase Bogotá on September 7. Likewise, we are attending the 2024 reservations for GAT Expo Cartagena, which already has its dates defined for April 10 and 11”.
