The CEO of Gaming & Technology Events (GAT), José Aníbal Aguirre, and the President of the Association of Permit Holders, Operators and Suppliers of the Entertainment and Gambling Industry in Mexico (AIEJA), Miguel Ángel Ochoa, confirmed that GAT Expo Mexico 2025 will be held on August 20 and 21, 2025, in the Mexican capital.
Both institutions affirmed that this new event “promises to be a milestone for the Latin American gaming industry” and emerges “to give continuity to the first experience shared in GAT Caribe Cancun, expanding the horizon of the new fair in Mexico, moving the venue to Mexico City.”
In that context, Aguirre expressed: “The involvement of Ainsworth, Pragmatic Play, Novomatic, Merkur, Interblock, and other multinationals that have contacted us today, means a great impulse to take off with this new project.”
“Of course, the Mexican industry linked to AIEJA is the cornerstone of GAT Expo Mexico 2025, which is shaping up to be one of the most relevant events on the continent, with an innovative program that will include events such as a golf tournament exclusively for casino operators and the V International Convention of AIEJA,” he added.
Meanwhile, GAT informed that, with the confirmation of this new event, its calendar of activities for 2025 is set as follows:
