Bogotá, September 23, 2025. – On September 25, the Sheraton Hotel will host GAT Expo Bogotá 2025, a one-day event that, as every year, brings together executives, operators, manufacturers, suppliers, regulators, and associations in an optimal environment for updating on trends and technology, generating new business opportunities, driving sales, expanding portfolios, and forging strategic alliances.
Technology Exhibition and Networking
From 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the Santa Fe Ballroom will open its doors for an intensive day of B2B networking and exhibition, showcasing state-of-the-art equipment for land-based casinos, sports betting and online gaming, omnichannel solutions, biometric software, CRM, artificial intelligence, payment solutions, and cybersecurity. This space is consolidated as the leading commercial showcase of the industry in the Andean and Caribbean region.
Bogotá: Economic and Entertainment Epicenter
Colombia’s capital city concentrates nearly half of the country’s financial activity (49.4%), 42.3% of information and communications, and 41.2% of artistic and recreational activities, including gaming. Bogotá contributes 25% of the national GDP, equivalent to approximately US$115.5 billion—a figure comparable to Guatemala’s GDP and higher than that of Costa Rica, Panama, or Uruguay.
Colombia currently has a population of 53 million, with Bogotá home to 11.5 million residents. By the end of 2025, the city expects to reach approximately 2.2 million international visitors, both for tourism and business.
Recognized as a “24-hour city,” Bogotá boasts a vibrant cultural and entertainment scene, recording nearly one event per day and generating more than COP $15 trillion annually in live shows. This economic scale and dynamism translate into sectoral leadership and productive sophistication, making the Colombian capital an ideal location for the gaming industry’s growth and expansion.
Institutional Participation and Leading Brands
Among the key participants of GAT Expo Bogotá 2025 are Coljuegos –special guest and regulatory benchmark in Latin America–, the National Council of Games of Chance (CNJS), and the associations Asojuegos, Cornazar, Fecoljuegos, and Fedelco, as well as the Lotería de Cundinamarca.
The exhibition floor will feature international and local companies such as BetPlay, Novomatic, Pragmatic Play, BetConstruct, Gaming Laboratories International, Gatel, Win Systems, IGT, Alfastreet, PlayGroup, Betting Software, RPCol, Mobadoo, Mer Design, and Gem Solutions, showcasing their latest technological solutions through branded activations and networking stands.
Sustainable Poker Tournament: Playing Seriously for the Planet
Corporate social responsibility also takes the stage at GAT Expo Bogotá 2025. The Sustainable Poker Tournament, organized in partnership with SoluestBet and the Universo Verde Foundation, combines business networking and recreation with environmental action.
Contributions from participating companies will support citizen-driven reforestation campaigns. Universo Verde will plant native trees on behalf of contributors, generating a positive impact on greenhouse gas mitigation. This model of socially responsible gaming industry engagement was successfully implemented at GAT CDMX 2025, where support was provided to Fundación Curando, affiliate of Project Cure USA. In Bogotá, the challenge is clear: “Play seriously for the planet.”
Professional Networking
The networking agenda will begin on the evening of Wednesday, September 24, with the Opening Party sponsored by Alfastreet, hosted at Salsa & Son nightclub, located in Bogotá’s lively Zona T.
In line with Colombia’s “Amor y Amistad” (Love and Friendship) festivities taking place this month, GAT will offer complimentary drinks and canapés during the showroom in a special catering area for its local and international guests.
The GAT Events 2025 Circuit Continues
GAT Expo Bogotá is part of the GAT Events 2025 Circuit, connecting the industry across Latin America. Following the Bogotá gathering, the GAT Caribbean tour continues with:
· GAT Expo Puerto Rico – October 29, Puerto Rico Convention Center
· GAT Expo Santo Domingo – November 12–13, Renaissance Jaragua Hotel & Casino
“Investment and economic development in Bogotá and Colombia never stop. GAT Expo Bogotá is a unique business meeting point, a hub where global and local players will generate opportunities, alliances, and future projects not only in this country but throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. At GAT Events, we are introducing a corporate social responsibility component we intend to strengthen: the Sustainable Poker Tournament, which adds differential value to our role as industry integrators in the region. We look forward to continuing to advance in this direction,” stated José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT Expo.
