Rosterfy, the leading volunteer management software for non profits, events, cities and sports, has been named a Global Winner at the prestigious World Summit Awards (WSA), proudly representing Australia on the international stage.
The World Summit Awards recognise digital solutions that drive positive social impact and advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Rosterfy’s selection as a Global Winner follows a highly competitive evaluation process led by an international Grand Jury, highlighting the platform’s innovation, scalability and real-world impact.
An incredible honour
“Being named a WSA Global Winner is an incredible honour and is a powerful validation of our mission,” said Bennett Merriman, CEO and Co Founder of Rosterfy. “It honours not just our technology and amazing team, but the 160+ million volunteer hours we help power globally.”
Following the Global Win, Rosterfy has been invited to attend the WSA Global Congress in Vienna, Austria, this May, where the company will pitch live to a global audience and compete alongside four other category winners for the WSA Global Championship.
The Global Congress brings together innovators, policymakers, investors and digital leaders from around the world, offering Rosterfy a platform to showcase its solution on a truly international stage and further accelerate its global growth journey.
International Year of the Volunteer
“With the United Nations declaring 2026 the International Year of Volunteer, the timing is perfect.” Bennett added. “We are incredibly proud to represent Australia on this stage and look forward to connecting with the WSA and UN community in Vienna.”
Rosterfy was selected as one of six Australian nominees for the 2025 World Summit Awards and the only one in the category of Government & Citizen Engagement, reinforcing Australia’s reputation as a hub for impactful digital innovation.
