Last week, GAT Showcase Bogotá 2024 established itself as one of the most vibrant business and networking platforms for the gaming industry. Annually, in September, the Gaming & Technology organization brings together key stakeholders in Colombia’s capital city for this major commercial showcase of supply and demand in a sector that continues to thrive in the country.
For eight consecutive hours, the Sheraton Bogotá Hotel was the epicenter of meetings between business leaders and operators from all regions of the South American nation. At GAT Showcase Bogotá, they found opportunities to make business exchanges and strategic alliances, updating their portfolios and equipment for large casinos and gaming rooms. The event attracted a multitude of visitors from noon on Friday, September 6, creating a dynamic and demanding atmosphere for exhibitors, who had to continuously handle requests and demonstrations, leading to significant economic transactions. Notably, this event in Bogotá reaffirms Colombia's leadership role in Latin America, confirmed by the registration of businesspeople from 20 countries.
Positive testimonials and outcomes
José Aníbal Aguirre, General Director of Gaming & Technology, expressed: "We had some doubts and concerns about the event's attendance due to transportation delays and blockages in the country during the days leading up to and even on the eve of the event. Fortunately, this did not stop our clients, friends, and followers from honoring their commitment to meeting with their peers at GAT Showcase Bogotá in a productive marathon of meetings. This fills me with satisfaction, as well as the feedback from exhibitors and sponsors, who reported exceeding their initial sales and partnership expectations."
