Why attend greenloop?

At blooloop, we’re not experts in how to decarbonise theme park design, recycle AV equipment, or measure the climate impact of a museum, but we know people who are. Come and join the conversation to accelerate climate action across the sector …

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 + Delivery Studio Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering
