This conference is for people with a disability, families, advocates, professionals, CEO’s, bureaucrats and others who are interested in authentic social inclusion, individualisation, empowerment and innovation. It will also be of great interest to those who wish to transform supports and services from segregated or congregate care. 
This conference will also bring together many pioneers with disabilities, families and allies who have forged ahead with great wisdom to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling and abound in contribution and community. People who illuminate and show us what could be. At this conference people will share their diverse and wonderful stories about community, diversity, acceptance, neighbourhood, and belonging. They will challenge us to move forward and reject efforts that continue to exclude, segregate and separate people from their communities
