Community owners are the experts who know their community and deliver relevant content to their audience. They are the ones who make the investment to build and maintain the community, whether it is part of their daily job, part-time activity, or personal interests. These passionate people know and love the community's topic.
Vibrant communities require commitment from a dedicate core group, and these people should be rewarded for their time and passion. We think that many communities can benefit from a live, online component - where people meet and interact when the cost in time or travel makes face-to-face meetings impractical. On Webvent.tv, community owners can run high-quality webinars to engage and attract attendees into their community, while providing sponsors the opportunity to present themselves to these attendees. We share the revenue generated from sponsorships with the community owner, because 'paying' community owners for their time and passion leads to more interesting content, spurs quality conversations and connections, and most importantly: it builds the community.

How Dutch Schools World Wide Connect
The NTC (Nederlandse Taal & Cultuur) Schools community is a network of Dutch schools outside the Netherlands. These schools offer extracurricular lessons in the Dutch language and culture for children in the age of 4 to 12.
In February, the community kicked off on the Webvent.tv platform with their first webinars in the U.S. region. On the first Thursday of each month, teachers, parents, and school directors gather around a specific topic, which is presented by one of the schools. Topics include things like: how to optimize homework, how to get sponsors, and how to organize a Dutch culture day. The most recent webinar was presented by the NTC school ‘t Klokhuis, located near New York City.
One of the directors told me that Webvent is a great platform to get together, collaborate, and learn from each other on a frequent basis. Once a year in June, teachers and board member gather in person in the Netherlands during a live event with training and workshops. But travel time and cost make it hard for everyone to attend each year. For me, it has been 5 years since my last live event, and the most valuable part of being there is to connect with teachers and hear their stories.
“We love the live component in the community NTC schools world wide and how the community is organized. We can upload and download documents, refer to recorded webinars and during webinars we get to know each other better which makes it easier to connect anytime for any specific question. We all have the same objective, which is to improve the quality of the Dutch education for our children”.
