What has been the industry response to new proposals for the show such as Miss Gaming Colombia and Business Roundtable with TSM?Novelties such as the Business Roundtable in alliance with TSM services aim to improve this global industry, sowing the seeds of a facilitator culture in marketing for the meeting of supply and demand as well as to guide the new investors coming into the country eager to explore the sector information in the Andean Region.
Ainsworth Game Technology, Alfombras Importadas, Proeventos, Mundo Video, IRT, PokerStars, Recreativos Insuber y Uldarico Cordoba Media, among others, have already registered to participate.
Regarding Miss Gaming Colombia, 15 candidates confirmed that FADJA is, without doubt, the funniest show in the industry. We have youth from all regions of the country representing the beauty of Colombian women. The expectation of meeting them is huge between exhibitors and traders. It is difficult to find a more complete bouquet of Latin beauty ambassadors gathered in one place. But most important is the social responsibility project born out of the election of the queen.
In your experience as an organizer, what industry trends will be seen in the show?
For 13 years we have seen the technological advances of the industry in the world, even if it is not our specialty. We know that FADJA calendar is perfect for new product introductions. Definitely, multi-progressive games, touch screens and server-based gaming will be the stars of the conference and exhibition. Obviously, it will be of high impact entrepreneurship and creativity of many exhibitors led by the Colombian Mundo Video, our exclusive sponsor and its Multigame line. This company has made in recent years a steady growth that has positioned itself strongly in the national an Andean market, mainly.
What are the opportunities in the Colombian market now?The Colombian market is in a transitional legal status to another regulatory body, a situation that has never compromised the trust of operators to continue investing in its business. We believe that in 2012 all the procedures and standards will be regulated for the benefit of all.
In your opinion, will Colombia be affected by current’s gaming industry situation in neighboring countries like Ecuador and Venezuela?Of course, Colombia will become a niche of gathering of fellow countries that currently have problems with the gaming industry. We believe that the affectation may be more positive than negative.
What is the main objective to achieve this year?Having exhibitors with a high level of satisfaction is our ultimate goal, responding to their confidence, which is our only truly valuable capital.
