Drawing from his decades-long career, Pinto highlighted the profound influence of sports on communities, describing them as more than games but rather “platforms for change.” His work, including partnerships with the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations, as well as initiatives like “One Goal for UNICEF,” exemplifies his dedication to leveraging sports for humanitarian purposes.

For aspiring event planners and students interested in social responsibility, Pinto shared practical advice, including his “10 Golden Rules” for successful event planning. He stressed the importance of adaptability, effective networking, and meticulous attention to detail.

When asked what inspires him to continue working in event planning, Pinto explained his passion for contributing to positive change keeps him motivated. His lecture was not just a recount of his achievements but a call to action for students to think beyond traditional career paths and use their skills to make a difference.

Pinto’s visit to AUR left students with a clear message:

The potential to drive change exists in every field, and with dedication, adaptability, and vision, they have the power to impact the world.
