Peru Gaming Show opens its doors to welcome over 5,000 visitors and leading brands in Latam

Peru Gaming Show (PGS) begins today its 21st edition, with an exhibition hall and a series of conferences that will bring together the most representative brands in the industry until tomorrow, Thursday, June 13, at the Jockey Convention Center in Lima.

According to the organizers of the event, this year will be special not only because of the number of exhibitors and visitors but also because it is the first edition to be held in a fully regulated market, after the approval of the regulation of Law 31.557.

With more than two decades of history, this year's fair covers a floor of more than 8,000 square meters of exhibition space, and more than 5,000 visitors are expected to attend.

The exhibitors' offer will be focused on companies linked to online gaming and sports betting. However, the most emblematic land-based gaming brands of the Peruvian and Latin American market will also be present, according to Rubén Solórzano, General Manager of Affiliated Marketing Group (AMG) and one of the organizers of PGS 2024, in declarations to Yogonet.

As for the academic agenda, the focus will be on the online gaming regularization process in Peru, as well as on the regulatory frameworks of different Latin American countries, focusing also on the online sector.

"International leaders and experts will also share their knowledge on topics related to technology and sustainable development, among others," the organization added.

At the same time, the organizers expressed that "the intense days of conferences will allow the sharing of knowledge and experiences, all designed to offer the best to very demanding visitors."
