Bet Summit to pay tribute BIG Brazil founder André Feldman

The second edition of the Bet Summit, which takes place on July 8th at the Arena BRB Mané Garrincha in Brasília, will have a special moment to celebrate the career of businessman André Feldman, one of the most influential figures in the construction of the gaming and betting market in Brazil. The founder of BIG Brazil passed last January in a plane crash in São Paulo, where also died his wife, Juliana Feldman.

The Bet Summit, which will bring together the main leaders of the sector next week in the Federal District, will not only pay tribute to Feldman, but will also show how his strategic vision continues to influence current market trends.

 André left a void in the sector, but also a legacy that lives on through his achievements and the ecosystem he helped create.

As founder and former CEO of BIG Brazil and official representative of the Caesars Group in the country, over the last decade Feldman has been one of the main people responsible for the development and professionalization of the sector.

His work has been fundamental on multiple fronts, from the regulation of various types of games to the organization of prestigious events, such as the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Brazil, which he brought and consolidated in the country since 2016. In addition, he has provided strategic consulting for four large international groups, helping to connect the Brazilian market to the main global staleholders.

According to Aldi Almeida, CEO of AFollow – Comunicação e Marketing (organizer of the Bet Summit in partnership with Prado, Castelli & Vasconcelos Advogados and Aliança de Advocacia Empresarial – ALAE), “André’s work at BIG Brazil and the Caesars Group was essential to building a professional and regulated industry. He not only brought the WSOP, but also laid the foundations for the entire gaming and betting ecosystem in the country.”

Feldman will always be remembered as a visionary, leader and bridge builder in the gaming market. His ability to foresee opportunities and unite different industry players remains a reference for all those seeking a more innovative, regulated and sustainable sector in Brazil.

The Bet Summit, which will bring together the main leaders of the sector, will not only pay tribute to Feldman, but will also show how his strategic vision continues to influence current market trends.

The tribute will be led by the president of the Brazilian Institute of Legal Gaming (IJL), Magnho José.
