Michael J. Shapiro

Director of Content Strategy, Northstar Meetings Group U.S.

More than two decades ago my bio for DigitalFOTO magazine began, "Reviews editor Michael Shapiro loves the sushi." I guess I haven't changed much, but I've since traded camera reviews for event-professional content, covering tech, travel, Latin America and beyond, across NMG's brands. You'll still find me with my camera and hamachi, eager to embrace local specialties and the next adventure.
