The event scheduled for September 8 and 9 already has a strong cohort of brands interested in entering the Island of Enchantment, which closes 2025 with very positive economic indicators. Investment and growth opportunities in a jurisdiction undergoing significant regulatory progress are within reach.
GAT Expo Bogotá — Colombia

Bogotá will maintain its agile and specialized format, focused on technical demonstrations of equipment and executive meetings among manufacturers, operators, and distributors. Due to its compact and high-impact nature, the Bogotá Showcase has become an essential venue for accelerating commercial processes, forging strategic alliances, and renewing products such as slot machines, cabinets, casino management software, innovative payment methods, and more. Its timing in the year’s final quarter makes it a key catalyst for sales and transactions in Colombia, one of the most mature markets in the region.
GAT Expo Santo Domingo — Dominican Republic
November 17 & 18
Renaissance Jaragua Hotel & Casino
GAT Expo Santo Domingo will return to the Renaissance Jaragua Hotel & Casino on November 17 and 18, following the consolidation of the Dominican Republic as a business hub for gaming in the Caribbean. The 2025 edition established the basis for open dialogue between retail operators and online betting companies, addressing market evolution and sharing regulatory frameworks from Latin America. Progress is expected on the bill currently under review in Congress, which seeks to unify regulation under a single directorate of casinos and gaming—bringing all verticals together to strengthen oversight and protection for both players and operators.
Regarding the exhibition on November 18, an increase in the number of exhibiting companies is anticipated, along with higher participation from executives. The most recent edition welcomed more than 600 delegates from 20 countries, drawn by the rapid growth of the Dominican market and its ongoing regulatory modernization.
The commercial exhibition will bring together local and international companies with increasing presence in the Caribbean, showcasing innovations in land-based casinos, gaming machines, sports betting, online solutions, payment systems, certification, security, digital marketing, and virtual gaming verticals.
