Aggregator GrooveGaming is attending the Caribbean Gaming Show (CGS) on August 27 and 28, which is this year celebrating 10 years in the gaming industry. The show and summit are primarily focused on the Latin American market where GrooveGaming has established a significant presence.

The current outlook with COVID-19 and the possibility of a second wave has prompted the organisers to take the digital leap with the online show designed as ‘CGS Cloud 2020’, the focus for the show and summit being to keep looking forward to a rapid revival across the gaming industry.

Between August 27 and 28 ‘CGS Cloud 2020’ delegates will hear from over 100 engaging speakers from all around the world, with 15-panel discussions addressing a range of LatAm gaming problems, and hearing from top experts on how to move ahead during these uncertain times.

GrooveGaming’s line-up of gaming and content solutions will be showcased at the forthcoming ‘CGS Cloud 2020′ and will cover the award-winning technology that catapulted GrooveGaming to one of the ’10 Best Technology Solution Providers of 2020’ by IndustryEra, firmly demonstrating that the aggregator’s technology development is being acknowledged not only in the iGaming industry, but also from outside it.

GrooveGaming’s powerful platform includes over 4000 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.

GrooveGaming has numerous live dealer titles and has built a powerful on-demand live content offering that includes live roulette, baccarat, blackjack and live dedicated tables, all of which have been generating significant interest during 2020. In addition, GrooveGaming’s virtual sports offering includes virtual football, tennis, horse-racing, cycling and greyhound racing, with virtual Euro basketball and cricket coming soon to the rapidly-expanding aggregator.

A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.

Elizabeth Leiva Goycochea, CEO of CGS Group LLc, organiser of the Caribbean Gaming Show said: “We are delighted to be pioneers, this will be the first virtual event for the Latam industry. We have lined up more than 45 panelists and important exhibiting brands with the purpose to link operators from the Caribbean, Latin America and Brazil. With 15 Panels as the main attraction of this Virtual Summit, the CGS panels are highly accessible being streamed and translated in 3 languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese.”

Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at Groove Gaming said: “Our footprint in Latin America is strong and we want to keep our finger on the pulse of the market while supporting the ‘CGS Cloud 2020’ event. We will be alongside and amongst all the main Latin American gaming industry these 3 days to meet, share knowledge, experiences, trends, technology and, most importantly, to do business.”

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29^th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.

The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.

Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:

“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”

The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.

Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
