After hosting twelve editions in Brazil, the company introduces a new strategic model that positions Rio de Janeiro, Brasília and Recife as the three pillars of the country’s regulated gaming industry.
With the upcoming CGS Recife 2026, CGS Events will celebrate its twelfth edition in Brazil since the return of in-person events, marking an important milestone in the company’s evolution and the beginning of a new strategic chapter in one of the world’s fastest-growing regulated gaming markets.
Responding to the rapid transformation of Brazil’s regulated industry, CGS Events has announced a new annual event structure that replaces standalone conferences with a specialized circuit, where each host city will focus on a specific business vertical and audience.
Three cities, three strategic pillars
The new CGS Brazil ecosystem will be structured around three dedicated events.
CGS Rio will focus on strategy, investment, lotteries and casinos, bringing together executives and investors to discuss the future of Brazil’s gaming industry.
CGS Brasília will become the country’s leading platform for regulatory affairs, taxation and public policy, creating direct dialogue between regulators, government authorities and industry stakeholders.
Meanwhile, CGS Recife will concentrate on operations, marketing, affiliates, payments, technology and commercial development, serving as the meeting point for professionals responsible for transforming regulation into business growth.
The new format is designed to provide operators, suppliers, financial institutions, investors and technology companies with more targeted networking opportunities and highly specialized content, while eliminating overlap between conferences.
Supporting the next phase of Brazil’s regulated market
As Brazil approaches its second year of regulated operations, CGS Events believes the market requires conferences capable of addressing the specific challenges faced by each industry segment.
The company emphasizes that long-term success will depend on credibility, consistency and the ability to create real value through knowledge sharing, business development and meaningful industry collaboration.
The next edition, CGS Recife 2026, will take place on August 24–25 at RioMar Eventos, reinforcing its position as Brazil’s leading event focused on operations, marketing and commercial growth.
