Countdown to GAT Official Launch Brasil 2026: What to Expect

GAT Official Launch Brasil 2026 Confirms Its Strategic Agenda

The countdown to the GAT Official Launch has officially begun. The organizers have announced Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), Gamanza, and Pariente Advisory as the sponsors for this inaugural edition—companies widely recognized for their track record and leadership in certification, technology, regulatory compliance, gamification, and innovation. Among them is Pariente Advisory (parienteadvisory.com), an independent strategic consultancy for hospitality, gaming, and integrated resorts founded by Alex W. Pariente, Chair of this launch event.

Additionally, Clarion Gaming's World Gaming Business—creators of ICE Barcelona and iGB—will join as the official Media Partner, enhancing the event's international reach and amplifying its coverage.

José Aníbal Aguirre, CEO of GAT Events, commented: “This is an immersive experience featuring industry leaders and an extraordinary opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing. The future of gaming in Brazil is happening now, and GAT recognizes that.”

Alex W. Pariente, Chair of GAT Official Launch Brasil 2026, added: “Brazil is no longer discussing whether it will have a regulated market; it is discussing how investable it will be. Legalization is the event. Investability is the condition.”

Confirmed corporate attendees already include Altenar, Timeless Tech, Novomatic, FIRST, Oddin, Sportingtech, XtremePush, bet365, Cactus Gaming, Nuvei, 3OAKS, and ClearSky Network, underscoring the strong interest this new business and analysis hub has generated across the Brazilian industry.
