EVENT DETAILS |
Join us for the 2018 EXPOSED, a food, wellness & social impact event in New York City featuring notable speakers, workshops, & vendors from farmers to practicioners & everyone in between who all aim to share ideas on positive living. Come & share your vision on how to create a good food, health, wellness movement that supports sustainable lifestyle.
The concept for EXPOSED arose organically, when interest in a 2015 talk on food & social wellness hosted by SMPLCT Lab became the interest of startups, to corporations, students to influencers. Simultaneously, founder of SMPLCT Lab, Cynthia Hellen, began experiencing a health crisis of her own, & upon sharing her story with others, realized the crisis of disconnection from the mental & physical health & wellness was on everyone's mind. The more she shared her story, the more experts & entrepreneurs dedicated to fixing this crisis she met, & the more people wanted to be a part of an epic event that brought their knowledge to the public. Instead of being exposed to the daily assault of chemicals & toxins in many foods & products, attendees can expose themselves to expert knowledge on good food, improving their health, wellness, & their lives.
