Monday, June 16 at 3:00 PM

to Wednesday, June 18 at 11:00 PM

2323 E Iliff Ave

Denver, CO 80210, USA

Join us in Denver for 3 days of deep learning, community-building, challenging academics, and practice-based sharing. As a unique conference, we connect the world's foremost academic researchers, faith and community leaders, and others, both disabled and able-bodied. We come with a shared desire to investigate the lived reality of disability as it intersects with faith and theology which allows us to overcome the differences that might otherwise limit our capacity to work, share, and learn together.


Conference registration is open until Friday, May 31st (for in-person) and June 11th (for virtual).


Scholarships for in-person attendance are available on a limited basis, with preference given to disabled attendees. Scholarships for virtual attendance are possible and are more available. Please email info@theologydisability.org to inquire. 


*Note about times: The Conference will take place in the Mountain Time Zone (GMT -6) 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM each day. Depending on where you are, the times on this form will look different.

Notes on Registration (Program, Supports, Housing, Further Contact):

The Institute comes to Denver with the gracious support of Iliff School of Theology. 


We look forward to exploring with colleagues and advocates already active in the Denver area while gathering leaders from across the world.

Schedule


Our program is full of great plenaries, an interfaith panel, and various afternoon sessions.


Here is the Schedule (subject to change) http://bit.ly/ITDSchedule25


-------------------------------


Accommodations/Supports

Each Institute has its promises and challenges. We have increased costs this year partly due to combining the meal plan with the registration cost. Additionally, as we build out our virtual options, including tech workers, ASL and CART (please let us know upon registration what ASL/CART needs you have for our workshop setups/accommodations), we incur costs just as we improve our access. 


Within registration, there are opportunities to share your accommodation/support needs. If you find this inaccessible, please email us at info@theologydisability.org
