The organizers of GAT Caribe Cancún are ready to welcome the leaders of the gaming sector on November 26 and 27 at the Cancun Center, at what will be the events company’s first show in Mexico.
For GAT, the show will be “a strategic scenario” to analyze the future of the Mexican and Latin American industry, and “a great opportunity” to know in depth about the local gaming ecosystem, how it is integrated into the global industry, and the brands that lead the sector in the continent.
The event is expected to gather licensees, operators, suppliers, and manufacturers seeking to maximize their participation in a market in constant growth, considering that there are more than 90 million potential players in Mexico.
José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of Gaming & Technology Expo (GAT Expo), said: “We have put our soul into our entrance to Mexico through Cancun. A few hours before the start of the set-up for the exhibition, the production and logistics teams are fine-tuning every detail to give a WELCOME, in capital letters, to all the institutions, authorities, Mexican companies, foreign companies, and attendees who have registered to not miss a single moment of this two-day gathering. This show goes beyond the commercial aspect and I am sure it will be a personal and business experience that will open doors to new and productive relationships in the very near future.”
