An Inquiry Into Anomalous Experiences & The Phenomenon 2023

Presented by Jay Christopher King and James Iandoli, An Inquiry Into Anomalous Experiences & The Phenomenon will be another rare and timely opportunity for those interested in UAP and related phenomena to convene in New York City. 

This one day conference and networking event seeks to address anomalous experiences and "the phenomenon" from the perspectives of an array of approaches: from advances in space and medical sciences, governmental transparency and advocacy efforts, to leading-edge journalism, writing and consciousness studies.

The general format for the day will be 30-40 minute presentations followed by generous Q&A segments, so that those attending live and online can interact with our speakers. Leslie Kean and James Fox will be doing a unique one-hour dialogue together onstage; Leslie will also assist in hosting the conference. We've also planned a one-hour meal break during the day, which will allow for more opportunities to socialize.
