✨Best of Trailer APD 2025✨

A look back at some unforgettable moments✨
For everyone who joined us — and those who couldn’t make it — here’s your chance to (re)experience the energy of APD 2025!
--
An while we are enjoying a look back at this years edition, we are proud to share our progress in sustainability at APD 🌿

Since 2024 APD is certified with the ISO 20121 certificate for sustainable event management, covering every aspect of our event — from planning through ex*****on:

✈️ Travel remains our biggest challenge: flights account for the largest share of APD’s carbon footprint, but they’re often the only way to bring together international talents and speakers. So we’re reducing emissions by prioritizing train travel and aim to offset nearly all invited guest-related CO₂ emissions.

🚗 No More Airport Shuttles: In 2025, we’ve said goodbye to the shuttles — saving around 700 kilometers of car travel.

🚆 Public Transport for All
To support low-emission travel, we continue to provide every APD participant with a free public transport ticket.

🥗 Conscious Catering Choices
We’ve made it a priority to reduce the environmental footprint of our catering. Over 80% of all meals served at APD are vegetarian or vegan.

🎨 Smart Design, Less Waste
We’ve also taken a new approach to how we produce APD materials. By choosing year-neutral branding, we can reuse lanyards, table signage, beachflags and more.
