greenloop, the world’s leading conference for sustainability professionals in the visitor attractions sector, will feature a stellar line up of sustainability leaders from some of the world’s top attractions, from Merlin Entertainments and The Eden Project, to Disney, The Smithsonian and more. We also have the world’s first carbon neutral zoo, blue tech incubators and “zoo poo” energy!
Now in its second year, the virtual conference will focus on how zoos and aquariums, museums, theme parks and other attractions are becoming more sustainable.
This is a not-to-be-missed event for anyone working in sustainability in zoos, aquariums, theme parks, museums and other visitor attractions. We have inspirational speakers, practical tips, case studies and hot topics as well as smart networking tools to match attendees with similar interests.
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

Why should you attend greenloop?
As all visitor attractions need to become greener, greenloop’s unique cross-sector approach allows attendees to learn from and network with their industry peers across a broad spectrum of attractions. Industry leaders will discuss hot topics and give practical, actionable advice to help attendees on their own sustainability journeys.
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.
