2008 Conference for People with Disabilities Photos

On Dec. 2 and 3, 2008, nearly 450 Hoosiers with disabilities and other guests convened at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis for the 14th annual Conference for People with Disabilities. Attendees explored inclusion and beyond during this two-day adventure, themed “Mission Ready: Countdown to Change,” with inspirational presentations, engaging workshops and opportunities for socializing.

Several attendees shared their stories and experiences at the conference Story Tent, which was staffed by videographers and interviewers from the Center on Aging and Community of the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community.
