  Let's Wine: Stories Uncorked™ | Episode 39 | FIEXPO - Ep. 3 | Dr. Senthil Gopinath

  Jul 26, 202630 min

  In this episode of the Let's Wine Stories Uncorked™ FIEXPO 2026 series, recorded in San José, Costa Rica, Andrea Padilla, CEO & Founder of Square Root Marketing, sits down with Dr. Senthil Gopinath, CEO of ICCA, the global association tracking over 13,000 international congresses every year — and celebrates his birthday with a glass of wine at the event. Senthil's career began in Sri Lanka's government tourism sector, moved through a regional DMC, the meetings division at Emirates, and ICCA regional leadership for Middle East and Africa before reaching the global CEO role. In this conversation, he talks about nine visits to Latin America in eight months and why the region continues to surprise him, the ICCA Congress coming to Panama in November with 82% of its global membership having never set foot there, why AI investment needs to be a line item on every organization's balance sheet rather than just a conference topic, and the case he is actively building at the United Nations for business events to be recognized as drivers of economic development. His closing message is one of the most direct this series has produced: "Nations thrive through meeting and interacting. That is the only way economic development can take place."Featured Guest:Dr. Senthil GopinathCEO, ICCALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-senthil-gopinath/ Connect with us:Square Root Marketing squarerootmarketing.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/squarerootmarketing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squarerootmarketing/
