he upcoming SiGMA Americas Virtual event, being held on September 13-14, will be an opportunity for the best in the industry to showcase what is driving growth and innovation. Betcris, the sports betting and iGaming operator, will attend with Betcris Head of New Business Development Fernando Garita participating in a panel on the challenges facing gaming expansion in Latin America.
The SiGMA Americas Virtual event features a fully interactive expo floor, networking chat rooms, and a high-profile lineup of panelists.

SiGMA Americas will explore the market’s open-door approach to innovation through a series of panel discussions and keynotes.
Among the discussions is “The Impact of Federalisation & Fragmentation in LatAm,” which will be held on September 14.

Alongside Garita will be Karen Marcela Sierra-Hughes, Gaming Laboratories International’s VP of LatAm & Caribbean, and Gameplan Gametech CEO, André Faure.

Garita has been a regular participant in SiGMA events, offering insight into the changing iGaming space across Latin America.
The event is being held virtually due to ongoing COVID-19 issues, but will still offer the same format participants are familiar with.
