“Evan proved a galvanizing presence at Streaming Media East 2022,” remarked Streaming Media VP & Editor-in-Chief Steve Nathans-Kelly. “His standing-room-only ‘YES, AND…’ closing keynote typified the transformative effect his insightfully curated media industry data, potent visualizations, and no-holds-barred analysis is having in our industry. Even if it’s not always what we want to hear about where we are and where we’re going, it’s what we need to hear. The only thing better than following Evan Shapiro’s sharp and incisive daily LinkedIn posts is catching him live. Evan will be a great addition to Streaming Media Connect, elevating our already star-studded program to the realm of must-see TV.”
