(Mexico City, SoloAzar Exclusive).- GAT Expo México is being held today and tomorrow, bringing together industry leaders, operators, suppliers, and regulators to encourage strategic dialogue, drive technological innovation, and strengthen Mexico’s position as a regional hub for the entertainment and gaming industry in Latin America. In this article, we share key highlights from the agenda and the main activities taking place during the event.
The EXPO Santa Fe Convention Center —located in the financial heart of the capital— will be the setting for a trade show that promises to boost the growth of regulated gambling in all its modalities: from physical casinos and online platforms, to sports matches and raffles.
This will be the second edition of GAT Events in Mexico, following the successful debut of GAT Caribe Cancún in November 2024, held in alliance with AIEJA.
