HOTM Conference

General Questions
How can I stay informed about upcoming events?
You can stay informed by signing up for our newsletter. You can find it in the right hand column under "Subscribe by Email."

I am interested in being a speaker for one of your events. What must I do?
Send us an email with a link to an audio or video of a previous speaking engagement so that we can get a idea of your style, ability to teach, and capture an audience. Along with that, please send us a brief synopsis of any talks that you are interested in giving. Also include a short bio or testimony for us to review.

Please note that our conferences fill up very fast. If you would like to inquire about being a potential speaker at an upcoming event, please do so at least three months in advance. FYI: the speaker roster for the August conference is already full. Please inquire about our upcoming homeschooling conference that will take place in February of 2010.

My business or ministry would like to partner with Heart of the Matter Online. What should we do?
Please view the sponsor page for information on sponsoring the event. If you would like to provide items for the "gift bag" or giveaways, then simply email us with a photo, description, and inform us how you would like them distributed.

Pre-conference FAQ
I just bought my ticket. Now what?
Immediately after purchasing your ticket via Paypal you will be given the option to "return to merchant." Click on that button so that you will be redirected to the registration page. You must submit your name and email address on that registration page and then confirm the subscription with Aweber, our host, in order to receive future correspondence from us. You must read the instructions on the PayPal confirmation page - do not glance at it and then close the page as it contains critical information regarding your tickets to the conference. You will receive an email a couple of days before the start of the conference with log in instructions. To listen live, you must log in at the scheduled times.
