With over a decade shaping event technology at a global scale, Gerard Conway sits at the intersection of live experiences, data, and operational reality. He has led registration, accreditation, and event technology strategy for some of the world’s most complex and high-profile live events, working closely with organisers, sponsors, and partners to turn technology into something that genuinely improves the attendee experience. Now an Event Technology Consultant at Hyve Group, Gerard is responsible for defining and delivering event technology strategy across Hyve’s event portfolio. His focus is on scalable platforms, operational excellence, and data-led decision making that supports commercial growth while protecting the live experience. He is particularly passionate about applying automation and AI in a pragmatic way: solving real problems, empowering teams, and ensuring technology enhances live events rather than becoming a distraction.
