The event was to be held on November 27 but was postponed due to the tragic events caused by Dana.
Spain.- Expojoc 2024 announced the new date for the event: it will be held on March 26, 2025, at The Westin hotel in Valencia. Originally, the event was scheduled for November 27 but was postponed due to the tragic events caused by Dana in the province.
Initially, the date of March 5, 2025, had been suggested, but due to the proximity of another event in the sector, the organization decided to celebrate it a few days later than planned.
"The sector in general likes to attend events as they are moments to establish business relationships, get up to date with technical issues, and see new products. Two events practically back-to-back in the calendar did not make sense. Our commitment and dedication to the industry have led us to make this decision," said J.Ignacio Ferrer, founder and director of Expojoc.

The event is supported by the Spanish Confederation of Bingo Business Organizations (CEJ), the Business Federation of Bingo and Gambling Games (FEJBA), the Valencian Association of Bingos (AVALBIN), and the Valencian Autonomous Association of Legalized Game Entrepreneurs (EJUVA). During the meeting, the current scenario of the sector will be analyzed in detail through conferences, round tables, and networking.
On the other hand, during the meeting "Online gaming in front of the mirror: Radiography of a sector in transformation", organized by Europa Press and Jdigital, various Spanish experts in the field advocated for balanced regulation of the sector to reduce to the "minimum expression" the players who go to the illegal market. Additionally, it was requested to expand the dialogue because "it is not advisable to reinvent oneself," since in gaming "what works and what does not work is known."
"The regulator has to see that the best way to protect consumers is by reducing to the minimum expression the players who go to the illegal market. The way to protect consumers is by making a market much more attractive, as attractive as possible," affirmed lawyer Santiago Asensi, one of the speakers at the debate tables.
