Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games
The Melbourne 2006 was a large event made possible due to the contributions of over 15,000
volunteers. Registration Logic provided a custom solution to manage the registration process for a
volunteer warm up event.
Each volunteer was sent a customised HTML formatted email inviting them to participant in the volunteer
warm up event. This email included a link to an online registration application where volunteers
registered for the warm up event or informed organisers that they were not able to attend.
Each volunteer was assigned a unique identifier that allowed event organisers to track which volunteers
had registered for the warm up event. Each volunteer's email was specifically addressed using the name
stored for each volunteer within the database.
An administration facility was available to event organisers for reporting statistics on emails sent and
responses received from volunteers. All information from the registration process was extracted into
MS Excel spreadsheets once the bulk email campaign was completed.
Our systems successfully sent over 25,000 emails to Melbourne 2006 volunteers, including original
invitations and follow up responses.
