Julie Driscoll is Chief Revenue Officer and President of the New Next Gen Division at Hyve Group. In her dual role, she leads Hyve's global commercial strategy while driving the growth and development of its next-generation portfolio of market-leading events. With more than 20 years' experience, Julie has been privileged to lead the transformation and growth of both B2C and B2B businesses across Hyve, Ascential, Emap, WVIP, Highbury House and Olympia. At Hyve, the Next Gen portfolio is creating game-changing impact by bringing together communities across EdTech, engineering, energy transition, logistics and retail sourcing. From enabling the worldwide demand for metals and critical minerals essential for decarbonisation to transforming education through technology, these events are helping shape the future of global industries. It's a portfolio driven by purpose, with a powerful "why." Alongside Hyve's world-leading exhibitions, its conferences fuel debate, accelerate knowledge sharing and help shape government policy by connecting business leaders, policymakers and innovators. Julie is therefore delighted to be a judge for these prestigious awards.
