They will be followed by other brands such as BetConstruct, WATechnology, Merkur, Zitro, EGT, Amusnet, Digitain, and Spintec, among others “that have bet without any doubt to Cartagena de Indias in Colombia.”
José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT, commented: “In the week prior to the fair on April 9, 10, and 11, we have seen a noticeable increase in social networks of publications and mentions of exhibitors and sponsors, inviting their audience to participate and attend the fairgrounds, headquarters of GAT to hold a business meeting presenting the advantages and innovation of their products and services. We say, without fear of being wrong, that these days the gaming industry in Latam, revolves around GAT Expo Cartagena.
“In our commitment to offering novelties in GAT, together with the celebration of our 25 years integrating the gaming industry in Latin America, we have incorporated a team that will receive visitors at the Cartagena airport, both from Colombia and those who will arrive through the international dock, on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9, thus providing transportation to the Hotel Las Americas, the central location of the event.
“We will also surprise the public arriving at La Heroica, with a circuit of screens that will project images of GAT and Pragmatic Play, Premium Sponsor of the Gaming & Technology Expo in all its locations, of course, the hosts will receive delegates from 45 countries, properly identified.
“I do not want to overlook an unprecedented show that we will share with all the attendees to the exhibition at the Cartagena Las Americas Convention Center, on Wednesday, April 10 at 8:00 PM, as the closing of the first day of the exhibition. This is the presentation of a professional Shakira impersonator, who has participated with resounding success in musical programs in Chile, her country of origin, and since 2022 has become in Colombia a double of the artist from Barranquilla, who expressed her admiration for Andrea Correa and the quality of her musical interpretation and dance.”
