AKL Summit 2026

AKL Summit 2026 kicked off the year through close collaboration between Creative Technology, Visual45 and our client Tapahtumantekijät.

AKL Summit is a major meeting and learning event organised by the Finnish Automotive Federation, bringing together key influencers and business partners from across the automotive industry to connect and support the development of the sector. Following the success of previous years, the focus was not on introducing new technology, but on using trusted solutions in more creative ways to deliver a fresh and engaging experience.

Visual45 led the stage’s visual concept, based on Tapahtumantekijät overall event design. Particular attention was given to video surfaces, stage layout and content flow. The visual language was aligned with the event’s brand identity, ensuring that each on-screen element supported the overall message and atmosphere of the summit through strong colours and impactful visuals.

Close cooperation between Visual45 and Creative Technology played an important role in delivering a cohesive result. Visual45 developed the video content and visual direction, while Creative Technology was responsible for the technical delivery. Reliable, high-quality systems were used throughout the production, including ROE Visual LED technology, d&b audiotechnik sound systems and Martin Professional lighting. Technical solutions were integrated with Hybridiarena Hype’s existing AV infrastructure to create a smooth and unified experience.

One of the distinctive features of the 2026 edition was the expanded use of laser technology. Rather than serving as a standalone effect, lasers were incorporated into the visual content through a laser mapping approach. This created the impression that graphics were being drawn live onto the screen, blending digital visuals with physical light.

By synchronising video, lighting and laser projection, the technical execution supported the visual concept accurately and reliably. The production demonstrated that familiar event technologies can still create strong impact when applied thoughtfully.

AKL Summit 2026 showed how careful design and technical expertise can elevate established solutions into something distinctive. The result was a visually compelling summit that reinforced the event’s identity and created memorable moments for attendees.

Thank you to Tapahtumantekijät for the continued trust in us as technical partner of AKL Summit.
