​

Lalin Akalan is one of the architects of Turkey's creativity & technology ecosystem  shaping how immersive culture is imagined, produced, and experienced.

​

As the longtime Technology Curator of Sónar Istanbul, co-founder of Digilogue with Zorlu Holding, and founder of the Futuretellers Conference, she has built the platforms where immersive art and commercial ambition meet. She works natively across both worlds: global brands and the artists defining the future of the medium.

​

Her operational track record spans festivals, large-scale events, immersive exhibitions, interactive installations, and integrated 360° campaigns — from concept through turnkey delivery. She has produced across cultural institutions, brand activations, and public venues, managing complex productions end-to-end at international standard.

​

She founded Xtopia to build the next generation of immersive experiences — cultural, commercial, and built to travel.
