Remote Meetings Are Dead – Long Live Hybrid Meetings! Greg Shapiro

March 7, 2022

In February I was called upon to do two separate events for Janssen Pharmaceuticals in Belgium - both remote meetings. Now that Covid restrictions are lifting in the Netherlands and Belgium, you might expect a return to 100% live events ! And you’d be wrong. Looks like hybrid meetings are the New Normal.

Greg Shapiro Presents: HOW TO BE DUTCH – THE QUIZ SHOW

February 7, 2022

Hi, it’s me Greg Shapiro - the American Netherlander. I grew up in America first, and I moved to the Netherlands second. Along the way, I took the Dutch citizenship exam, and I wrote a couple books on the subject - including HOW TO BE DUTCH: the Quiz. All the questions that SHOULD be on the Dutch citizenship exam, by the American Netherlander who’s been living here 25 years.

Greg Shapiro Hosts Second ‘CitizenM TV Show’

January 19, 2022

PRO-TIP: Your Livestream doesn’t need to be Live! Again, we had 3 days of production, with plenty of time for me to meet the C-level execs and get to know everyone - and get the best out of everyone.

Greg Shapiro Mini Standup Special ‘LEAVING TRUMPLAND’

January 4, 2022

I wrote a comedy show about America during Trump and during Covid. It’s called LEAVING TRUMPLAND. And it’s partly about how Trump and Covidiots killed my stepfather. Most of my performance dates were cancelled due to Covid. But thankfully, a Dutch performance series asked me to perform part of my show for them, at the ITA International Theater Amsterdam. And here it is: GREG SHAPIRO’S LEAVING TRUMPLAND on ‘Cultuurexplosie Live.’

Greg Shapiro ‘How to Be Dutch’ at NBTC Netherlands Bd of Tourism & Conventions

June 28, 2021

I was asked to give a reading from my book The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales. It's a module I like to call 'Culture Shock Therapy.' And we had a 'bubble' set - everyone on set had to have a negative Covid test. And between the speakers and the crew, there were just enough live bodies to be able to play to audible laughs.

Greg Shapiro Hosts 1st-Ever CitizenM TV Show

May 14, 2021

For the CitizenM TV show, the Livestream doesn't need to be Live! We had 3 days of production, with plenty of time for me to meet the C-level execs and get to know them. We pre-recorded the transitions, and I spoke in the voiceovers. The priority on-set was to keep the vibe of a normal offsite event, as much as possible. And yes, the top management were way too dry in the first take. But with a couple of retakes - and me more actively engaging them - the managers managed to loosen up and feel like they were talking to their team, in person. I really appreciated hearing it back in the comments, like "You made us feel comfortable Greg, it was a joy. Many thanks!"

GREG SHAPIRO: FATBOY FOR A DAY

February 16, 2021

I love Fatboy stuff! Did you know they're based in Den Bosch, Netherlands? I found out when I got the call: they needed a host for their annual retailer event - this time via Livestream. Well, the show went great. And the livestream only froze up twice (!)
