Inclusion Fusion is presented free of charge by Key Ministry. We hope to create a forum for Christ-followers everywhere to share ideas and resources to advance the movement to fully welcome and include children and adults with disabilities and their families in the life of the local church. The theme of this year’s Inclusion Fusion is INNOVATION.
Inclusion Fusion offers prerecorded videos made available “on-demand” to conference registrants, supplemented by interactive online chats and experiences. We encourage discussion of diverse ideas and views and promote the development of new relationships between pastors, church leaders, and families. We seek to promote a dialogue around how to most effectively share God’s love with families who historically have confronted substantial barriers to church participation and form relationships that advance the building of God’s Kingdom.
Our two previous Web Summits involved 46 speakers representing a broad range of ministry interests and passions. Videos from Inclusion Fusion have been viewed well in excess of 20,000 times. Check out all of our past Inclusion Fusion presentations at Key Ministry’s NEW You Tube channel!
We encourage you to register for this year’s Web Summit. Advance registrants will receive invitations to exclusive, pre-summit events and activities. You can click this link to access our registration form, or scan the QR code pictured at right. Later this week, we’ll be releasing the full speaker lineup for Inclusion Fusion 2014. Help us get the word out by using the hashtag #KMIF14 (short for Key Ministry Inclusion Fusion 2014).

Hi Margie,
We’ll probably have the schedule up a week or so before the event…but every presentation will be available “on-demand” on a second site so that participants can watch whatever they want, whenever they want.

Is this an online thing? Or is it a physical location conference? I hadn’t heard of this before, saw an ad on Facebook.

Hi Heather,
It’s online. You can watch from wherever you have Internet access, however you’re comfortable. Folks will be able to “chat” through Facebook with many of our speakers during the presentations. We’ll be running presentations on our “main stage” with on-demand video through another site. Hope you’ll join us!

This page was hard to find on your website. I want to announce this in our newsletter – had to dig around awhile until I finally found this page with general information that I could link to. A prominent link on your home page or navigation menu would help.

I was wanting to know if I sign up for this conference if I could watch it at anytime I wanted. I’m a Special Education teacher that is looking for ways to help families with disabilities in the church but have school the 12-13. So will these be available to watch at anytime?
