greenloop, the original sustainability conference focused on the global visitor attractions industry, has another fantastic line-up of speakers in 2025. Now in its fifth year, this is a must-attend event for anyone interested in visitor attraction sustainability.
blooloop director Rachel Read says, “2025 is a pivotal year for climate action. We’re just 5 years off 2030, we’ve yet again experienced the hottest year on record, and the US is slashing programmes to limit global warming. The science is clear; climate change is real, happening and a threat to humanity. We can still make a difference if we take action now, but we can make MORE of a difference if we do it together, so please join us at greenloop.”
Nick Merriman, chief executive at English Heritage at greenloopMy exhortation always is do something, for God’s sake. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good… If you can’t do everything, just start.
Top speakers
Ruth Read, blooloop’s sustainability manager, says, “We work really hard each year to find the best – and most qualified – speakers for greenloop, as we know that climate change can be an intimidating topic to try and tackle alone. Every speaker and attendee has been in your shoes but took that first step, so if you come along with nothing but questions it’s okay! We promise to do everything we can to help support you in your sustainability journey.”

Emily Dow, Design + Delivery Studio Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering speaking at greenloopWhen 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.
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 …
We’ve kept our ticket prices low (from just £10!) so if you can, please buy a group ticket for your organisation and gift a ticket to a colleague, customer or friend. It would really help to support the event.
