LAS VEGAS (April 19, 2016) – Fun and fundraising takes on a Latin American flair when JCM Global presents the inaugural “JCM Global LatAm Golf Classic,” as part of the first Juegos Miami, the dedicated business event for the Pan-Latin American and Caribbean gaming industry (The Biltmore, Coral Gables, Miami, May 31 – June 3, 2016).

The golf tournament takes place June 3 on the breathtaking greens of the Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables and is a fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. The event was inspired by gaming icon Jens Halle, a major advocate for gaming in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“We have been honored to produce the AGEM/AGA Golf Classic in Las Vegas for the past 18 years, and now we are taking all the fun of that annual event and spicing it up with a distinctive Latin-Caribbean flair fitting for Juegos Miami,” said event producer and JCM Global Vice President of Marketing Tom Nieman.

Kate Chambers, Managing Director (Gaming) at Juegos Miami organisers, Clarion Events, welcomed the addition of the prestigious golf tournament. “We are delighted to confirm details of the inaugural “JCM Global LatAm Golf Classic,” as part of Juegos Miami. When we began researching the needs of the industry in this incredibly important part of the world, we were told by our stakeholders that any event would need to have stand out and unique characteristics in order to be successful. Based on that and together with our colleagues at Urban Expositions, we have crafted an event which has at its core, the ability to network at the most senior level, to see the very latest gaming products and to access premium quality training and conference content. The “JCM Global LatAm Golf Classic” adds prestige and star quality to what promises to be a major event for the region’s top decision makers, casino operators, principal buyers, business owners and legislators. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Tom Nieman and his team at JCM Global for their wonderful support.”
