Meet the Thriveabetes Team

The Thriveabetes Conference is organised completely by a group of dedicated volunteers who ALL feel passionate about bringing people with type 1 diabetes together to share what we deal with every day and to learn from world class speakers. The first Thriveabetes took place in 2015 with 120 adults. In 2016, we had 220 adults and children attend. In 2018, we expect to have 300 people with type 1 diabetes come to The Red Cow Hotel, Dublin on Saturday 24th February.

As our conference has grown, so too has our team of volunteer organisers. Hover over each photo for our names and click on the photo to learn a little more about us.
