SAGSE Panama 2026

About this event

SAGSE Panama (officially SAGSE Central America & Caribbean) is the Central American stop of the SAGSE Latin America tour. The 2026 edition was held at the Sortis Hotel, Casino & Convention Center in Panama City, Panama, on 3 June, with an additional day on 4 June. The organiser replaced the traditional expo with an Executive Summit plus Business Hub format: conferences in the morning on 3 June, a networking lunch, then a boutique exhibition and networking session from 3 to 8 pm. It was aimed at operators, regulators and decision-makers from Panama, Central America, the Caribbean and the wider region, and Panama's gaming control board, the Junta de Control de Juegos, publicly backed the event. 4 June was a separate day for casino security: morning conferences and masterclasses, then an expo open only to security associations, security management and surveillance teams, fraud-prevention specialists and technology integrators, with talks on fraud prevention, CCTV and operational control.
