Industry Context

The organiser intends to position São Paulo as an international hub for gaming, entertainment and technology, with an event tailored to Brazil’s regulatory and commercial characteristics.
The 2026 meeting will serve as an official market launch and a precursor to a larger-scale event planned for the second half of 2027.
Statements
GAT Events CEO José Aníbal Aguirre highlighted the role of the event’s ambassadors in establishing the organisation’s Brazilian presence and helping define the principal subjects for its conferences and panel discussions.
Next Steps or Impact
The inaugural edition will allow GAT to assess its format in Brazil and strengthen relationships with regulators, associations, operators and suppliers ahead of the planned expansion in 2027.
For participants, the event provides a platform to examine Brazil’s regulatory development, explore commercial partnerships and review solutions related to online betting, casinos, lotteries, technology and responsible gambling.
Its location in São Paulo also reinforces competition among major international events seeking to support the continued development of Brazil’s regulated gaming industry.
