Less than three weeks before GAT Expo Cartagena, on April 9, 10 and 11, the organization shares the advances that will be presented in conferences with international guests from Paraguay, Mexico, Peru, Argentina and the Dominican Republic, in addition to the leading role of Coljuegos as an authority and the innovative agenda proposed by Colombian associations, companies and certification laboratories.
The impact of artificial intelligence in the entertainment sector will be dealt with by LUMO Media Lab of Caracol TV, in a panel shared with experts on the evolution in the production of new games and the incorporation of technologies that offer security, stimulation and confidence to the player, in the field of lotteries and online games from Peru and Argentina.
For the first time, the GAT Academy of April 9, will include in its content the panel that the Women's Gaming Association, ASFEG, has titled "Empowering the industry with equity as a challenge", with the participation of women leaders of the sector in different countries of Latin America.
"The academic agenda will have representation from regulators from Colombia, Paraguay and Argentina, from the Colombian associations Asojuegos, Fecoljuegos, Fedelco and Cornazar, the Dominican Association of Gaming Casinos and the National Association of Sports Banks of the DR, AIEJA from Mexico and SONAJA from Peru. In total, we will have the participation of around 35 top speakers". José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT, comments. "The objective is to advance in the internationalization of the fair, involving entities and professionals that contribute to the forging of a regional community integrated in goals and objectives."
The day's program also includes a round table discussion entitled "How to boost eSports betting in Latin America" with prominent participants, led by José Aníbal Aguirre, with the presence of recognized gaming communities such as the Colombian Federation of Electronic Sports, Fedecolde, the Association of eSports Clubs, Race Ring, Elite League and BetPLay executives.
The organizers are continuing to develop the idea of promoting electronic sports and its professionalization, which has already been implemented in previous events, and thus, in addition to the academic component on this specific topic, GAT eSports in its second edition in Cartagena de Indias will bring together the best of this vertical in Colombia with four tournaments: Valorant, Counter Strike, Soccer and Motorsports, which will be experienced for the first time on the stage of the GAT Arena, on April 10 and 11, with a spectacular setup of technology, light and sound.
It is a tradition that the Colombian associations, Asojuegos, Fecoljuegos Cornazar, hold their General Assemblies or Boards of Directors every year during the GAT Expo in Cartagena, with the participation of their members. In these meetings, they analyze their performance as spokespersons before the government and society, in their role as engines of development of the sector, and agree on their next objectives for the current year. The participation of the directors and managers of the lotteries of the Colombian Lottery Federation, Fedelco, has also been confirmed.
The inauguration of the exhibition in the stands of the Santa María A and B halls is scheduled for Wednesday, April 10 at 2:00 p.m. and will last until Thursday, April 11 at 8:00 p.m.
