“greenloop is a must-attend event, crossing boundaries to bring together really thought-provoking insights and ideas around the way visitor attractions can not only minimise their environmental impact on the planet, but also act as catalysts for positive change.
I cannot think of another event which goes near greenloop as a concentrated dollop of practical green inspiration – a must-attend for several of our team.”
Dominic Hare, CEO Blenheim
Sharing sustainability insights across the visitor attractions sector
Recognising that all visitor attractions face many of the same challenges, greenloop’s unique cross-sector approach will allow attendees to learn from and network with their industry peers across a broad spectrum of attractions.
Leveraging Blooloop’s worldwide network of professionals in theme parks, museums, zoos, aquariums and more, greenloop will feature attractions leaders discussing hot topics and giving actionable advice to help attendees in their sustainability journeys.
Other speakers to inspire include the United Nations, Walt Disney Imagineering, Miral, Chester Zoo, New England Aquarium and many more.
“When it comes to solving really big challenges, like how do we build sustainable theme parks, resorts and cruise ships around the world, it takes all of us and all of these different industries coming together.
And that’s what’s great about greenloop … our collaboration is key to really think about how we build sustainable themed entertainment experiences.”
Emily Dow, Design Studio Executive with Walt Disney Imagineering
