#IFL2021
Inclusion Fusion Live is Key Ministry’s national disability conference. Our theme this year is doing ministry together after the pandemic. In order to minimize risks associated with travel and promote a sense of connection and community between disability ministry leaders within cities and regions, #IFL2021 will be a live, multisite event.
We want ministry leaders within a geographic region to have the opportunity for in-person, face-to-face discussions. We see this as a time for local collaboration while we address disability ministry issues on a national level. We have a number of host sites — with limited seating capacity — as well as an option for you to attend virtually. All registrants will watch the livestream from our Cleveland hub in real time and will join their fellow ministry leaders in facilitated discussion between segments. Those registrants who have selected the virtual option will be placed in Zoom breakout groups by region for the facilitated discussion.
