Cartagena is preparing for one of the most relevant events in the regional gaming calendar. As part of GAT Expo Cartagena 2026, which will take place from March 24 to 26, FECOLJUEGOS will be in charge of the Academic Agenda of the event, scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 at the Centro de Convenciones Hotel Las Américas, as a space for analysis and dialogue for authorities, associations, operators, legal experts, and business leaders in the sector.
The invitation sent to media and press makes clear the objective of this session: to turn Cartagena into a meeting point to discuss the main challenges and opportunities facing the gaming industry in Latin America. According to FECOLJUEGOS, the presence of the press will be key to giving visibility to a space that seeks to strengthen institutional dialogue and the responsible development of the sector.
