Helsinki Python & PyData Helsinki meetup with TEK & ILry

Welcome along to our April meetup in collaboration with PyData Helsinki, kindly hosted by TEK and ILry!

Our hosts will introduce their services for both employed and unemployed IT specialists, talk about how the unions fight for your rights, discuss the current situation in the IT sector from the unions' perspective, and tell us more about the collective agreement system and upcoming negotiations. After a quick break and our famous Python Quiz, we will welcome to the stage our very own Cal Paterson, who will paint us a picture of LLM security issues regarding prompt injections.

You have to RSVP for the event to join. If you can't make it, please update your RSVP promptly so another Python enthusiast from the waiting list can take your spot.

Photos of the event may be shown on different digital channels of HelPy/PyDataHel and our hosts. Please also share your own photos!
