We are overwhelmed by God’s blessings! 

We’re still busy picking up the pieces from the cancelation of our 35th Annual IAHE Home Educators’ Convention, but we’re not without hope! Our transition to an online event is moving quickly.

We’re encouraged by the generosity and support poured out on us during the last couple of days!

We know that families need quality information on homeschooling, today more than ever. 
Together with YOU, our speakers and exhibitors, we’re in the position to provide it to them.
We’re partnering with Homeschoolers of Maine (HOME) and we’re in the position to help you connect with even more homeschool families than could have possibly walked through our doors.

We’re very excited to announce that our online event will be LIVE by Friday, March 27!

By Monday morning, March 16, 2020 we will have details to share with you.

  • We know that an online event does not work for all of our exhibitors and once we get through the next couple of days we’ll be better able to work with each of you to find what works for you.
  • We recognize that you are facing financial challenges in this difficult time, just like the IAHE. It is our goal to work with you and provide creative solutions that benefit the entire community!

Our first goal is to work with the speakers and exhibitors that were scheduled to be a part of the IAHE’s and Homeschoolers of Maine (HOME)‘s convention. We know that not everyone will be able to provide content quickly. We are also accepting open submissions for speakers and vendors that are able to participate and meet our fast deadlines. Our event will be open for 365 days! Our goal is to reach new families and connect them directly with you.

While we wish we had every single answer for you today, we’re still gathering some details. We will keep you updated as often as we can.

 

Are you ready?

STEP ONE [SPEAKERS]: Let us know you want to participate!

How will it work?

Speakers will pre-record their sessions and upload the file as Unlisted on their YouTube channel or upload to a Dropbox folder.
Recommended file type: .mp4, .mov, or .avi
Recommended resolution: 720p (1280 x 720px)

 

Deadlines

  • To promote the event as much as possible, we are asking for your information asap. While we can add more speaker information later on, we want to showcase your participation NOW! The sooner you respond, the more exposure we can give YOU.
  • Video submissions should be uploaded as early as possible the week of Monday, March 23.

March 21, 2020
Thank you for your interest! We are blessed beyond belief by people interested in our event. We are no longer accepting submissions as we are pushing our amazing volunteer team as much as possible to get ready for launch later this week.  

Please Note: By submitting this form, you are not automatically approved.  A member of our team will be in contact after we receive your submission.  Thank you for your interest in our event!

STEP ONE [IAHE EXHIBITORS & Advertisers]: Let us know you want to participate!

We know that our advertisers and vendors are also reeling from the lost revenue of attending homeschool conventions. We want to work with our registered exhibitors to help you reach our audience through our new event. Clearly, not all of our exhibitors can transition to an online event seamlessly. Exhibitors that do not want to participate will be given refunds when requested.

Increased promotion in our event will be given to:

  • Sponsors
  • Featured Speakers
  • Premium exhibitors & advertisers

Did you pay for advertising inside of our attendee sway bag? Good news! We’re mailing 1,000 PHYSICAL Swag Bags to the first 1,000 registrants! If you’ve already mailed your inserts, we have them.

How to create a successful, virtual booth space.

  • Each exhibitor will be given space in our event for a banner graphic or logo, a written message to the attendee, and a link to your website. You may also include a link to a giveaway or freebie on your website.
  • Sponsors, Featured Speakers, and Premium Exhibitors may also include a video message. Upload your video message to your own YouTube channel and set the privacy to Unlisted. Then, just send us a link to be embedded in your virtual booth.

Our team is continuing to work through the many details in front of us but we’re happy to answer your questions.

Workshops should be uploaded to Dropbox or as an unlisted video to your YouTube channel.
