MATA-Sign Language Media EXPO 2013 is coming back!!!<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the ever expanding US Deaf market continues to evolve and its purchasing power increases year after year, understanding its cultural factor, their unique behavior market, and utilizing the adequate mediums and technologies becomes key when targeting this market. Some of the approaches that have been successful include the use of social networking and affiliate marketing\u201d. This event mirrors society’s increased awareness of Deaf people’s media-tech-culture needs<\/p>\n

About MATA EXPO<\/p>\n

‘MATA’ means ‘See you later or again” in japanese<\/span> language and “Eyes” in tagalog<\/span> language. Mata<\/span> is a symbolic word “visual concept + small world” in the Deaf-related community.<\/p>\n

MATA EXPO is considered one of the nations largest multicultural marketing events in US Deaf history. It is an opportunity for companies, organizations, and individuals with talents to show off their deaf \/ hard of hearing products to thousands of people at once and make announcements about new products and services. It is also a showcase for deaf performing artists in various media types (deaf films, deaf celebrities and cultural arts presented from US nationwide and International). MATA EXPO empowers Deaf Culture, Diversity and Media Technology.<\/p>\n

A paramount emphasis will be on the changes and progress made in quality<\/span> of life for Deaf-related, Deaf and Hard-of -hearing consumers.<\/p>\n

Part of the show’s focus will be a celebration of society’s increasing awareness of the needs of the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing. Included will be a detailed look at the recent legislation passed and written into laws that positively impact the quality of life for the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing.<\/p>\n

Open to the public, the show targets not only Deaf people but also their employers, friends and family, government and nonprofit organizations as well as students enrolled in sign language and Deaf culture classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
