Therese Dolan Ltd
Personal Statement
I have nearly two decades of experience in association event management under my belt, delivering high-impact meetings in face-to-face, digital, or hybrid formats, from both agency and in-house perspectives. My interests also include association strategy development, membership engagement, and community building, helping organisations define and achieve long-term goals while fostering innovation and sustainable growth
Role & Skill Areas
I currently work with a number of international associations, supporting them to streamline processes and strengthen their ownership and oversight of their flagship conferences. Partnering with leadership teams, I design and implement new models that allow for year on year growth and reduce reliance on outsourcing to help to retain greater control over the event strategy, brand, and delegate experience.
By aligning conference strategies with long-term organisational goals, I help associations reposition their annual meetings as their primary communications and engagement tool, driving member value, financial sustainability, and global reach.

Experience
I have almost 20 years’ experience in association strategy and professional conference organisation, working with international and UK-based membership bodies, charities, and not-for-profit organisations. I have held senior roles both in-house and within global agencies, including Diabetes UK and MCI UK, before moving into consultancy and project leadership in 2022.
Since then I have specialised in supporting associations to deliver impactful conferences and events, supporting overstretched teams and allowing organisations to take greater ownership of their events as a central tool for communication, engagement, and growth
