“During 2011, the success of the alliance with G2E will be embodied”

How has this year been like for Monografie? Now with a certain distance, Which is the balance you can make of SAGSE Panama and Buenos Aires 2010?
Definitely positive. This could be considered as a year of consolidation of both events. Both have demonstrated its space and place in the event schedule of the businessmen of the games of chance and entertainment sector. It was a year full of challenges and obstacles that were positively improved in the most efficient way by Monografie team. 2010 has brought us a high level of satisfaction and happyness. We have complied with our commitment as responsible of the most important event in Latin America. This year we grew a 30% at an exhibition level and attracted exhibitors from different parts of the world. We have had more high-quality visitors, and a constant flow of buyers and decision-maker directors was noted. SAGSE is, was and will be the most important event in the year in the Latin American calendar.
 
How are the 2011 editions of SAGSE Panama and Buenos Aires shaped?
SAGSE is the reflection of the market and we have very good perspectives for 2011. Every year, editions are more professional related to the market maturation. The international market, thinking in both events, evolves, changes and improves. It is clearly reflected in the events we produce, in the quality, seriousness and perpetuity. Every year we have sourprises for those markets and improve the quality and public satisfaction standards, as well as those from exhibitors.

During 2011, the success of the alliance with G2E will be embodied with the change of dates. We feel very proud of participating in the creation and coordination of an international calendar for the industry.

SAGSE 2011 will take place November 9,10 and 11. Products to be presented in Las Vegas will arrive to Argentina the following month. It will bring the latest novelties to Latin American operators that will surely visit the event in a massive way. However, before that, at the middle of the year, we have SAGSE Panama, that will be held June 22 and 23. This event already counts with a fixed number of exhibitors and attracts the industry, becoming the heart of gaming businesses. Panama already has 7 years of successes in the Central American and Caribbean region.
 
In general, In which way do you think exhibitors must evolve to keep of attracting the attention of both manufacturers (exhibitors) and operators (visitors)?
Developing international exhibitios is not a task for beginners. SAGSE is synonym of international character. It has responsibility, credibility and security gained through its 20 years of history, backed by concrete results.
Each element has been thought and planned for months. Working together with ICE exhibition in London and G2E in Las Vegas has brought us great results, which we can see noew. Being part of this international calendar means a great responsibility for us, as well as a feeling that indicate us that we have been doing things professionally, with care and international ethics. Evolution is part of nature, as well as natural selection and 

What are you projects for 2011?
Projects will be appreciated as long as the year goes by, but we are convinced there will be big changes for the industry. We can remark the release we made at the end of this year: our website www.catedralesdeljuego.com , the first space exclusively dedicated to big hotel casinos in Latin America. It is an information tool addressed not only to players worldwide, but also to people that prefers to stay in casino hotels.

SAGSE is in constant evolution, adapting to the different realities of the sector, and always supporting technological improvements and market trends. We widely know this marvellous games of chance sector. We are willing to bring them all the service, our commitment and dedication. In SAGSE, all the novelties of the industry and our big project reflected in the industry. We wish you all a successful 2011.
