blooloop is pleased to announce the judges of the 2026 blooloop 50 Immersive Influencer List.
Fever helps users to discover unique events and activities, ranging from immersive exhibitions and interactive theatre to festivals and molecular cocktail pop-ups.Now in its fourth year, we are launching the List in association with our good friends at Fever, a premier global platform for discovering live entertainment.
Alexandre Perez Casares, co-founder, Fever, says: "At Fever, we believe culture should be for everyone –and immersive entertainment, at its best, is one of the most powerful ways to make that real.
"We've been proud to play a central role in this industry's growth: helping bold ideas find the audiences they deserve, enabling creators to scale, and ensuring that remarkable experiences can reach people across cities and continents.
"The blooloop 50 Immersive Influencer List honours the people who made that possible– the leaders, the risk-takers, the ones who refused to accept the ceiling.
"Recognising them isn't just a celebration; it's how an industry grows with purpose. I'm honoured to be part of that."
"The immersive experience sector continues to grow and innovate," says Ruth Read, director at blooloop.
"It is changing both the guest experience and expectation, offering deeper levels of storytelling and entertainment.
"The best immersive experiences offer meaningful interactions that go beyond surface-level impacts. The sector is redefining how you can interact with art, wellness, music, theatre and more.
"The blooloop 50 Immersive Influencer List recognises the creatives, operators, designers and visionaries who are redefining what it means for an experience to be immersive."
