AIPC is thrilled to unveil the sixth episode of its podcast, Voices of Venues Around the World (VoVatW) — where we explore the people, passions, and perspectives shaping our industry.
In this new episode, we meet Adrian Quesada, Accounts Coordinator at the Costa Rica Convention Center. Adrian shares his inspiring journey through the world of events and tourism, offering a personal and professional reflection on the power of resilience and the joy of traveling.
From working in ground transportation during the pandemic to helping international associations find their perfect venue, Adrian’s story is one of adaptability, curiosity, and drive. He reflects on how taking on extra projects has shaped his career and positioned him for growth — including participating in the AIPC Academy, which he describes as a major personal milestone.
Adrian also reveals his passion for exploring his own country — from the volcanic beauty of La Fortuna to the beaches of Guanacaste — and the importance of slowing down to reconnect with nature, family, and self. His dream? To keep learning, teaching, and making an impact in the global meetings industry.
Tune in for a vibrant conversation full of real-world insight, optimism, and travel inspiration. And, as always, stay tuned for more episodes of VoVatW, where we spotlight the voices driving the future of convention centres around the globe.
