CEPYME to Open ANESAR's 13th Gaming Congress in Madrid

CEPYME, Spain's confederation of small and medium enterprises, will inaugurate the 13th Gaming Halls Congress organised by ANESAR on 14 May at Madrid's Auditorio de la Mutua Madrileña.

The event, themed "El juego en positivo, un compromiso que nos une" (Gaming in a positive light, a commitment that unites us), will see María Teresa Gómez Condado, CEPYME's recently appointed secretary general, jointly opening the proceedings with José Vall, ANESAR's president.

This marks a shift from last year's congress, which was inaugurated by CEPYME president Angela de Miguel. The participation of senior CEPYME leadership demonstrates the confederation's ongoing commitment to supporting Spain's gaming sector.

Strengthened Industry Relations

The collaboration reflects the strong relationship maintained between both organisations, with CEPYME continuing to advocate for the gaming halls sector within Spain's broader business community.

About CEPYME

CEPYME represents over 750,000 small and medium enterprises across Spain, making it one of Europe's largest SME confederations. The organization provides political representation, business support services, and advocacy for companies with fewer than 250 employees, which constitute 99.8% of Spanish businesses and employ approximately 13 million people.

Strategic Implications for Operators

CEPYME's consistent high-level engagement signals political backing for gaming halls within Spain's small business landscape. This support could prove valuable as operators navigate regulatory discussions and seek to maintain their position within the country's entertainment sector. The sustained partnership suggests stability for gaming halls amid broader industry consolidation trends.

Industry Networking

Gaming halls operators should consider attending ANESAR's annual congress as it provides direct access to key industry stakeholders and policymakers. The event typically features regulatory updates, market analysis sessions, and networking opportunities with CEPYME representatives who influence small business policy across Spain.

ANESAR is the national association representing gaming halls operators in Spain. It organizes annual congresses, advocates for industry interests, and maintains relationships with business confederations like CEPYME.

CEPYME represents over 750,000 SMEs in Spain, providing political backing and business legitimacy for gaming halls within the broader small business community. This support helps operators navigate regulatory challenges and maintain industry stability.
