(Puerto Rico).- For the first time in the five-year history of the event, the city of San Juan today welcomes the gaming industry at the Caribbean Gaming Show and Summit, at Puerto Rico Convention Center. “It would be worth imagining this being the first edition of the show, to appreciate its impact on the gaming market,” said the organizer of the event, Elizabeth Leiva, CEO of CGS Group, who is quick to remind us that this is not a massive event, but rather a small one.

All the events and ceremonies will be attended by the Director of the Gambling Commission of the Cia de Turismo de Puerto Rico, Andy Viera. Leiva announced that authorities from Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda and Panama have all confirmed their presence. Operators from Puerto Rico, Aruba, Panama, the Virgin Islands and Jamaica have likewise registered. 

Training

The international conferences will be held today and on Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 13.30 p.m.. Respectively the topics that will be looked at are gaming and i-gaming. 

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) is sponsor of the show and the series of conferences.  GLI Director of Latin American and Caribbean Development, Sierra-Hughes, will be the moderator on the first day and will speak on “Perspectives of the Regulatory Process of Control and Technical Compliance in Latin America and the Caribbean.”

BMM Testlabs has announced that Richard Williamson, SVP Regulatory Education, International, will be another of the moderators – the master of ceremonies on the second day of the conferences. 

Additionally, academic sessions of the Nevada University will be taking place between 8.30 a.m. and 13.30 p.m.
