International gaming companies looking to expand across Latin America will converge on Bogotá this Thursday, October 15, as Colombia hosts GAT Gaming & Technology Expo 2026. The event brings casino manufacturers, online betting providers, technology developers and industry regulators into one commercial venue, highlighting Colombia's position as an established regulated gambling market in the region.
Held at the Sheraton Bogotá Hotel's Santa Fe Hall, the exhibition will connect two increasingly interconnected businesses; land-based casinos and online gaming. For international suppliers, the agenda offers direct exposure to Colombian operators, local industry associations and companies developing technology for regional markets.
Organized by GAT Events, headed by CEO José AnÃbal Aguirre, the exhibition features manufacturers including NOVOMATIC, Win Systems, Interblock, Royal Gaming and Play Group, alongside digital technology providers BetConstruct and UP Gaming. The showroom will feature NOVOMATIC's XTENSION LINK Evolution, RISING TREASURES and IMPERA PROLINK 2, Royal Gaming's six-station ROYAL XS6 electronic roulette, and Play Group's INNOVA CASH automation system. Exhibitors will also present payment solutions, gaming software, cabinets and omnichannel technology.
Global suppliers Pragmatic Play, BetConstruct, Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and Gamanza Engage, together with Colombian operator BetPlay, are among the announced sponsors. The event also provides access to Colombia's regulatory ecosystem. Coljuegos, the national gambling authority, is expected to participate alongside four industry associations; Asojuegos, Fecoljuegos, Cornazar and Fedelco.
Its GAT Talks programme, scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., will examine responsible gambling, casino modernization, sustainability and digital gaming. Participants include Georges Didier of GLI and Andrés Blanco of Gamanza Engage. Commercial exhibition hours run from noon to 8:00 p.m., with registration beginning at 11:30 a.m. and the official opening scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
The event builds on a measurable international footprint: organizers reported 1,000 visitors, 24 exhibitors, five sponsors and representation from 19 countries in 2025. This year's format places global equipment manufacturers and digital suppliers alongside the Colombian businesses and regulatory institutions shaping their access to the market.
