Jason's Connection Is Going to the Big Apple!

Jason P. Harris, founder and spokesperson of Jason’s Connection will be traveling next week to New York City for several speaking engagements.

On April 6, 2016, during the Positive Exposure Pop-Up Exhibition, Jason will present a lunchtime lecture at 12:30 PM, and will also speak on Family Advocate Day on April 9th. His presentations focus on hidden and invisible disabilities and societal attitudes towards those with differing abilities. The Exhibition will take place April 5 – 11, 2016 at the Art Directors Club, 106 West 29th Street, New York City. The event is free and open to the public. The sole purpose of the Positive Exposure Pop-Up Center is to network and be inspired by the amazing programs and advocacy efforts happening all around us. Positive Exposure was founded in 1998 by award winning fashion photographer, Rick Guidotti.

While in New York, Jason will also speak to the employees of The Nielson Company, an information and measurement company. The company provides media and marketing information, analytics, and manufacturer and retailer expertise about what and where consumers buy, read, watch and listen. Mr. Harris’s presentation will focus on inclusion of the diverse abilities community in consumer studies. This is a private event.
