20 Questions…

Wondering about the Ultimate Women’s Expo? Wonder what it is all about? Want to know how it all works? Let me help!

First, I want to welcome you to this site. My name is Cindy Rushton. I am your hostess for this event. I think you will really LOVE what we are doing here. I am so excited that I can barely contain myself! This event was only a dream several years. Now, my dream is a reality! I think you will see why as you learn more!

If you have never been a part of our online classes or seminars, this is one that you will NOT want to miss! It is just amazing! Or should I say, ULTIMATE? I have wanted for some time to host a complete event just for women. My vision was to bring together a line-up of speakers who are passionately in love with God, their spouses, their children, and others. It is a reality! An amazing reality! An ULTIMATE reality! You are going to love, love, love this event!

Want to know a few things about the Ultimate Women’s Expo? Well, let me answer some of the questions that have come across my email for ALL of you! I think that this will help you to become familiar with what we are doing and maybe we will answer YOUR question along the way. Of course, if you have questions, ask away. Just zip me an email at Cindy@CindyRushton.com  and I will answer any questions you may have. Of course, first, let me dig in here. Ready?

1. What IS the Ultimate Women’s Expo?

Great question! The Ultimate Women’s Expo is the very first online conference specifically for Christian women. You will find everything you would at a convention or retreat, but even MORE!

We have a wonderful speaker line-up and even a virtual “Mommy Grab Bag.” The biggest difference is that the Ultimate Women’s Expo has a much, much larger speaker line-up than traditional conferences. Plus! No worries! You don’t have to miss even ONE of them or their workshops–you can tune in at your convenience, either live or by downloading their audios later.

That is not all! The really neat thing is that many of our speakers and sponsors will be present during the sessions so you can “chat” with them and ask any questions you may have. You will LOVE this method of getting to know them personally.

Finally, the Mommy Grab Bag…well, you have seen NOTHING like this. Not only do you get your traditional catalogs and special offers that come in the grab bags at conventions and conferences, but there are thousands of dollars in free ebooks, free audios, free Bible studies, free lesson plans, and much, much more. It all combines to bring you the ULTIMATE Women’s Conference…The Ultimate Women’s Expo!

2. Who are the sponsors/vendors? How can I check them out?

We are so thankful for our awesome sponsors for 2009. We are currently signing up vendors/sponsors for 2010 (Click here if you want to become one of our sponsors.) They have been the ones who made this event happen. They are busy at work helping me to make this year the best ever! I would love to encourage EVERYONE to really get to know these awesome companies. They have something very special about them–they really care about women. Every single one of these companies caught the passion for blessing each of you and your families. When you get your ticket and see all that they did to bless our attendees this year, you will see that there is just something incredible about their hearts. I cannot stress enough how much fun it has been to see their hearts pour out so lavishly. Well, check out the list and give them YOUR support. You will LOVE these companies:

Our Sponsors

If you visit their site, let them know you heard about them from the Ultimate Women’s Expo.

3. Do I have to be there at all of these events?

That is a super question! AND…one of the biggest perks about the Ultimate Women’s Expo. First of all, you do not have to there live for any of the workshops. Now, saying that, you probably will WANT to be there live. It is such a blessing to just kick back and enjoy listening to the speaker teach while you simultaneously get to “text chat” with new kindred spirits. You don’t get this type of fellowship anywhere else. You will make new friends. You can ask that question that may be burdening your heart. You can even have prayers on your behalf from moms around the world. After each session, you get personal time with the speakers via chat. It is just an amazing way for moms to get their mom-time and really have needs met.

Back to the question, you don’t HAVE to be there. Every session will be recorded, so you can easily download the seminars to listen at your convenience. You will also get access to all of the gifts given out in each session. While they are profiled during the event to be sure that every gift gets the attention of the attendees, they are posted also on the private Members Only Membership Site during this event. Talk about awesome! So, you don’t have to be there, but you will LOVE being there if you can join us for even one session!

4. What do I get for $19.97?

Talk about stretching your dollar! This will be the very best expense ever! You get every audio seminar recorded for this event. Do note that many have already been recorded and some will be recorded privately, so the only way to access all of them is to purchase a ticket. We record them as they are presented, then we edit and upload them to our private Members Only Membership Site. Just look at the great topics (all of them are available to members as Mp3 Audio Downloads):

Amazing topics, huh? That would be worth more than the ticket price, but there is MORE! We also have special gifts that they have donated to our Mommy Grab Bag. There are thousands of dollars of gifts that are yours when you purchase your ticket for our event. Again, you will find that this is the best expense EVER. I think you will LOVE this set!

5. What about the audios? Can I get them on CD?

Each session for our event is recorded, edited, and uploaded to our exclusive Members Only Membership Site. After the event, we will offer the audios for sale on a pre-loaded Mp3 player, or on a USB Drive. Those will be an expense in addition to the ticket fee. Those with tickets will be able to purchase at a discount. But, those expenses will be separate from your ticket cost. As you can imagine, that will be a big job for our office to prepare. We will offer those after we get our audios edited, uploaded, and available for our attendees.

One other thing…

We are commonly asked if we will offer any of these audios for sale individually. Yes. We will begin a shopping cart here on this site for individual audios. We already have our past expo sets available for sale. We plan to offer our Ultimate Women’s Expo regularly with themed events. For example, this one is themed, A Year that Counts . Our last event was themed, Lord, Capture My Heart! Last year's expo was New Year, New You! Can you imagine the amazing sets? Well, we will have those available for sale (the price will increase after the event for the sets), plus we will offer the individual Mp3 audios for $6.00 each. You can probably see what a deal our full set is. Grab your set today! (Scroll to the bottom of this page)

6. What if I have a MAC?

Our workshops will be recorded this year using our new platform. You can listen on your computer here on our website whether you have a Mac or PC OR you can listen by telephone (we will give you instructions for both options). You will love being able to join us on your computer or via telephone/Skype.

7. May I share this with my friends?

The audios and Membership Site are copyright protected. You may not share any of the audios with your friends. Also, you may not share the links to the free gifts/special offers with any of your friends. Anyone violating this copyright protection will be removed from our membership and banned from our site without a refund of their money and risk prosecution–this is a violation of the law.

This event depends upon your honesty and integrity. Our speakers and vendors are each giving you hundreds of dollars in gifts. We ask that you respect their generosity by not sharing anything but your enthusiasm with your friends. If you want to share the materials, send them to our website to purchase their own ticket or purchase a ticket with your friend (we have a special for those signing up with their friends). We would love for them to join us. They may purchase their own tickets here:

Grab Your Ticket OR Order with a Friend Here! (Just scroll to the bottom of this page.)

Remember, this is to insure that our sponsors are able to be as generous in future events. We appreciate your help in this.

8. What is RSS?

RSS is a nice new technology online. It enables you to subscribe to the “feed” from websites and receive their information directly into your computer as it is available. Look at it as you would a subscription to a magazine–you would decide which magazine you want to receive, subscribe, and it comes to your mail box. With RSS feed, you can subscribe to a website offering subscriptions and receive their posts directly into your computer. We have feed for our audios that can be received using a program like iTunes. ITunes is free online. I LOVE IT! You can simply download it in minutes at http://www.iTunes.com. Then, you can find our easy instructions on the Membership Site for setting up our feed in your iTunes. You don’t have to have an iPod, you can receive the audios by feed in your computer. If you do have an iPod (or get one!), you can simply plug it up to your computer and the audios download from iTunes into your iPod. Talk about easy! You would be ready in minutes to carry our Expo on-the-go!

9. How long will I be able to access the site?

Indefinitely! This is one of the biggest perks! You do not have time limits on how long you have to pull the information offline. IT IS THERE! It will be there for your convenience indefinitely! Can you beat that? There are a few offers that will expire (good reason to set aside time to devour each special offer) but all of the free gifts are loaded into our site for you to enjoy at your convenience. We know you are busy. So, we have set up a site that will bless you for years to come.

10. I have dial-up. Can I join you?

Oh! DEFINITELY! I have access to Wireless Internet when I am in town. But, at home, I only have dial-up for my internet. I teach and record all of our workshops in the Conference Room on Dial-Up Internet. It works consistently and has fewer problems with connectivity. My Dial-Up is only 26.4-28.8. It works WONDERFULLY!

Also! Don’t forget! You can also dial in on your telephone, cell phone, or Skype. Just sign up as our guest or grab your ticket to receive information on how to join us.

11. I don’t have a headset/mic. Can I still participate?

Yes! You will need speakers and a sound card on your computer to hear the session. So, that is your biggest need. If you want to get a good headset, you can find really nice sets at Walmart for around $16. Look for the Logitech brand. Those have great quality and are very reasonably priced. You may also dial into our sessions on your phone. You can ask questions at the end of the sessions on the phone or you can type them into the text chat or you can send them to me via email (cindy@cindyrushton.com).

12. When are audios posted and ready?

Our sessions are all recorded then edited and posted on our Membership Site. There will be a few available on our websitethrough the audio player, but only a few. The others are only available through our members only Membership Site. Our members only Membership Site is unveiled bright and early on February 11, 2010.

When you purchase your ticket, you will be added to our mailing list and you will get FIRST access to all of edited and uploaded sessions recorded in our Preview Chats, seminar sessions, and free audios after they are ready. You can also access all of the free gifts throughout each session. Because of the HUGE number of audios and time spent recording, please allow time for all of the audios to be recorded, edited, uploaded and posted to our Membership Site. Until then, enjoy all of the wonderful audios that are pre-loaded into our Membership Sites. You will love them! We think that they will keep you busy for a little while!

13. What is the Mommy Grab Bag?

Remember those fun grab bags that you get at conventions and retreats? One of my favorite things about going to a ladies event is getting a nice cup of tea at the end of the day and digging into my grab bag. I love looking over the new products, reading all about them, and getting all of the extra goodies, like magazines and samples.

We could not think of planning an event without a Mommy Grab Bag. AND…ours is ULTIMATE!!

Not only do you get the great catalogs with tons of fun, new products listed and described, but you get SO much more! You get free audios, free ebooks (some of these you may even have on your shopping list!), articles, coupons, special offers, Bible studies, complete studies, printable planning sheets, notebooking printables, and much, much more. I LOVE compiling all of the goodies and I can barely wait for all of you to dig into them. This will be the most ULTIMATE Mommy Grab Bag EVER!

14. Can my children listen in?

Yes! Each of the workshops are taught with the entire family in mind. Now, do keep in mind that this IS specifically set up to be a Women’s Conference. But, we work hard to be very family friendly. We know that a large majority of our subscribers are young ladies who want to be prepared for their own marriage and family. What better way than joining us! So, yes our audios are recorded specifically to be acceptable for the entire family. There are a few that will be noted as being ONLY for mom–romance topics. But all are completely appropriate for any age. In fact, remember those old radio shows with the entire family gathered around? Well, we are just bringing that concept into 2010! Gather around the computer and dig into topics that will inspire the entire family!

15. How long do sessions last?

Talk about a tough question! Our Preview Chats typically average of 1 hour for the presentation and up to 1- 1 1/2 hours with all of the questions. The schedule during expo week will be much tighter. But, we do allow time for questions to be answered in detail. We do not want for anyone to leave our expo without ideas and answers or at minimum, direction toward their answers. If you have to miss any part of the expo, it is recorded and it will be available on the Membership Site as soon as the audios are edited and posted online.

16. Do I have to be live for doorprizes?

Most of our doorprizes that are given to everyone are posted on our Mommy Grab Bag page. There ARE some super doorprizes that will be given out live for those that are in attendance. We also arrange to have some given out in contests that are announced in our email updates to all of our members. We have some great donations from our sponsors and speakers that will only be available for those attending sessions live or who are members. These are extra goodies!

17. Who are the speakers?

We have an AMAZING line-up of speakers for the UWE. You may want to know how they were selected? They were selected by several criteria:

• Their heartbeat for God and family–they are all contagious and passionate Christian women. I have personally learned from all of them through the years. They have amazing marriages, close-knit families, and life-changing ministries. They are passionately devoted to helping families step-up to the call God has for their lives. They are all committed to seeing you succeed. You will love our speakers!
• Their messages–their message are life-changing, practical, and easy to apply. I personally know each and every speaker. Their ideas WORK. Their messages for this event are fresh and new. When each was asked to speak for our event, they were asked to share what was on their heart. These awesome topics were their choices for this event. You can be assured that you will hear fresh, new, excellent topics each time you tune in. Plus! Watch how consistent the message is. We have spent hours praying and seeking God for HIS messages. You will love these!

Who are they? Here is our list of speakers:

18. Will there be other events like this?

YES! Ultimate Women’s Expo should really be called Ultimate Women’s ExpoS. We plan to offer events regularly just for encouraging godly womanhood. Our plans at this time are a January and June event. We are looking at a possible fall date too. We plan to offer events every year as the Lord directs. Plus, this event is brought to you in part through Talk-a-Latte. Talk-a-Latte is an online ministry for godly women. You can learn more about it here:

http://www.Talk-a-Latte.com

Talk-a-Latte brings you weekly chats, regular seminars, and regular events, like UHSE. In fact, as soon as this event is wrapped up, we will be gearing up for our annual  Ultimate Homeschool Expo.  Well, more on that later! Be sure you are on our mailing list!
