GAT Events closes the year in grand style: strategic expansion and new milestones in Latin America and the Caribbean

2025 Review and Highlights

“For GAT Events, 2025 has been a year of consolidation and expansion in Latin America and the Caribbean. This year marked important milestones for our organization, especially with the first-ever editions of GAT Expo CDMX and GAT Expo San Juan in Puerto Rico—two new host cities that significantly expanded our regional reach and strengthened our positioning as a leading circuit in the gaming industry.

The experience at GAT Expo Mexico highlighted the strong interest from the business community involved in gaming and betting in a country with more than 90 million people connected to the internet. The message of integration was resounding, and as a result, we have already held meetings with major brands interested in participating as exhibitors in 2026. Our arrival in Puerto Rico unveiled a scenario with significant advances in regulation and the expansion of the legal gaming spectrum. Now, everyone wants Puerto Rico.

Likewise, we continued the growth of our traditional editions in Cartagena, Bogotá, and Santo Domingo, with increased participation from operators, manufacturers, emerging brands entering the region with great momentum, associations, and regulatory authorities, along with a more specialized academic agenda and a constantly evolving trade exhibition.”

Plans and Objectives for 2026

“In 2026, we project an even more robust circuit, with six venues throughout the year, including the launch of the GAT Brazil Summit in São Paulo in June, featuring two days of specialized academic programming. This will mark the official landing of GAT Events in this giant market, paving the way for a major strategic step in 2027 to support the transformation of the Brazilian market.

Our goal is to continue being the most influential business, education, and innovation platform in the region, strengthening omnichannel strategies, gaming-applied technology, regulatory development, and relationships among companies, trade associations, and authorities.”
