Greg Shapiro EVENT HOST Demo (see also: Keynote Speaker Demo)
18 December, 2025
In Corporate Speaking, there are two basic categories: Event Host and Keynote Speaker. Sometimes I’m hired to do both.
BUT for now I’ve now prepared two different video demo’s. Here is:
Greg Shapiro as EVENT HOST
Some case studies:
CitizenM Hotels: Host ‘CitizenM TV’ Global Livestream
During Covid, companies had to cancel their traditional offsite annual general meeting. But Dutch CitizenM hotels decided to put theirs online. They wanted to make it like a late-night TV show. And they needed a host. That was me. It went so well, they asked me back for Season 2.
Agristo Potatoes: Host Promo Video
This Belgian agribusiness giant hired me to host their promo video, directed by Dutch legend Dennis Bots. The concept was inspired by the DollarShave and Old Spice ads. And it involved me “parachuting” into Belgium. My WW2 grandparents would be proud.
Amsterdam Zuidas ‘Inclusivity25’: Host & QuizMaster of Diversity Day
Hello Zuidas hired me to host a Diversity Day event, and the guest speaker was also a white male. My job was to make the event as interactive as possible and share the microphone with diverse guests. In the video, they show me giving the mic to… a white guy. But he was neurodivergent! Not that you could tell from the edit, but we learned about his perspective of being high-functioning on the Autistic spectrum.
The GREAT fatboy SHOW: Host of Global Livestream
Dutch design start up fat boy brand became famous for their stuffed outdoor furniture. They needed to introduce their new product line, also during Covid. And I hosted their annual meeting online.
MediaMarkt: Host ‘MediaMarkt Awards’
Hosting an award show is a special challenge. “Who is handing over the award? Do they know which way to face for the cameras? Can we schedule a walk-through?” I have hosted too many award shows where the photo captures a totally confused winner whose face is in the shadow of awards / flowers. Luckily, this event was done properly.
AD.nl ‘The Butler’: Host of Online TV Series
Back in 2019, Amsterdam already had a problem with over-tourism. The Algemeen Dagblad news platform hired me for an online series to convince tourists to venture off the beaten path. In this episode, we convince a German couple to skip the Alkmaar cheese auction and go straight to the farm where they make the cheese.
