[Avoimet Ovet] Kehitä vuorovaikutustaitojasi Stadin Sanasepissä
**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?**
**Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä.
Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi:
– saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen
– sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin
– treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten
– kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!)
– tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee
Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana.
Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.
Workshop "Navigating the Future of Agile Work"
Work life is changing fast — and Agile Coaches are right at the center of that transformation.
Transformation is made by people. So let’s not talk about AI for a moment, and refocus on the most important asset we have: *us*.
Artificial intelligence and hybrid work are reshaping how we collaborate. While they bring many benefits, they can also fragment shared thinking and make it harder to build a common understanding.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the **Epics©-method**, developed by Epicmeets. The method helps combine different modes of thinking, spark creativity, strengthen collaboration, and turn ideas into real action.
**What you’ll gain:**
Practical experience with the Epics© method.
New ways to build shared understanding in teams
Fresh perspectives through meaningful conversations with peers.
Insights into how the Agile Coach role is evolving — and how to prepare for it.
This is not just a session to listen — it’s an engaging, collaborative experience where you’ll learn by doing and by sharing.
*Join us and be part of the conversation shaping the future of Agile work!*

Rethinking how we organise product and service development in the AI era
Antero Kivi, VP of Data, AI & Integrations at DNA, looks at today's topic beyond tooling and technology.
**Product Owner Meetup - Helsinki** is a community where Product Owners come together to celebrate their craft, share real-world experiences, and grow as leaders in their industry.
### **🍦 Join us in the June's meetup about product and service development in the AI era**
**🎤 More about the speaker**
**Antero Kivi** from DNA looks beyond the tooling and technology to ask a bigger question: does the way we organize product and service development still hold up?
His view is grounded in the realities of a large telecom operator, where the pressure to move faster comes first and foremost from business needs, not from the technology.
Antero leads the Data, AI & Integrations unit at DNA, and acts as the company-wide AI transformation lead. With a background in product management, Antero brings a strategic perspective to today's topic.
📍 *Where:* **Nitor Office, Aleksanterinkatu** 46, 6th floor (next to Mummotunneli)
🕕 *When:* **Wednesday, June 10th, from 17:30 to 19:30**
🍪 *Bonus:* **Snacks, drinks, and great company!**
Through inspiring talks, hands-on discussions, and opportunities to connect with peers, we aim to value and highlight the role of the Product Owner to one of innovation, pride, and strategic impact.
Each session brings together practical insights from industry leaders with first-person, real-life stories from local and global product professionals who have tackled challenges and achieved breakthroughs.
Whether you’re fine-tuning stakeholder management, mastering prioritisation, or seeking inspiration, you’ll find a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and advance your skills.
Join us in shaping a movement where Product Owners are recognised as key drivers of outcome orientation, innovation and value, transforming the profession into a globally celebrated craft.
📍Please note: the downstairs exterior doors lock at **17:00**. If you arrive after this, just ring the doorbell and we will let you in. The event begins at **17:30**.
Cowork - ja sinä voit keskittyä olennaiseen
Tässä sessiossa katsotaan, mitä Copilot Cowork oikeasti tekee ja miltä sen käyttö näyttää arjen tilanteissa. Vedetään läpi muutama demo, joissa Cowork hoitaa rutiinit ja valmistelut taustalla, jotta käyttäjä voi keskittyä siihen mikä oikeasti vie työtä eteenpäin. Samalla jutellaan myös siitä, missä EU‑regulaation kanssa tällä hetkellä mennään ja mitä se tarkoittaa Coworkin käytölle nyt ja lähitulevaisuudessa.

Badminton at Tali
Hello sporty population!
Join us for badminton and meet people from around the world! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or already experienced.
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, so please reserve yours in advance. Only registered participants can join to ensure fair access for everyone. If you mark “going” but do not attend, or fail to cancel at least 1 day before(By 9pm Saturday), you may be suspended from the next two sessions.
📍 Location: Talihalli Huopalahti
⏰ Time: 11:00–12:30
🏸 Courts: 9, 10, and 11
You can meet us at the entrance a little before 11:00 or come directly to the courts (**please do not enter before our booking starts**).
Who can join?
• Open to everyone, regardless of background or gender
• No badminton skills needed – beginners are welcome
• **Age limit: 16+**
Event is free, but please bring your rackets and indoor shoes, or you can borrow a racket from the hall for free if needed.
We are committed to making our events and activities accessible to those who need them most. Therefore, **individuals with a refugee background are welcome to attend free of charge without prior registration.** If you plan to join, simply send a message to Alaa to let us know you’re coming.
This approach is intentional. Many refugees and newcomers face practical, cultural, and psychological barriers that can make formal registration difficult or discouraging. By removing this requirement, we aim to create a more inclusive, low-threshold environment where participation feels safe, simple, and welcoming.
Our events are designed to support the mental health and well-being of refugees and immigrants, while also encouraging dialogue that challenges cross-cultural stigmas and stereotypes. We believe open access is an important step in building trust, increasing participation, and creating meaningful connections across communities.
After badminton, we'll enjoy Talihalli's sauna and maybe go to a local restaurant to grab some lunch after the game.
Warm welcome!

Sketchy Collective: Helsinki Drawing Meetup (15:00 Helsinki time)
**HOW TO FIND US**
Outdoors: We meet **every Sunday at 15:00** in the **Töölönlahti Park**, opposite the entrance to Pikku-Finlandia. If you’re walking from Oodi, pass the playground with the big swings and the volleyball court. On the left, you’ll find us in the **area with benches, hammocks, and yellow chairs**.
Indoors: When it's cold or rainy we move to the **top floor** of the **Oodi** Library, on the stairs opposite the children’s area.
It's a good idea to **keep your sketchbook visible** so others can easily recognize that you're there for the sketching meetup. And if you’re a regular participant, making it clear that you're part of the sketching group can be very helpful for newcomers!
\*\*\*
**HOW IT WORKS**
At each meetup, attendees take turns being the model for a quick **10-minute sketch session**. One person poses, everyone else sketches, then we rotate.
\*\*\*
**WHAT TO BRING**
Pencils and paper (or any sketching tools you like).
No fees, no pressure. The only thing we ask is that everyone takes a turn posing for the group. You can sit however you feel comfortable — the 10 minutes go by quickly! Draw as much as you like, skip a round if you’re tired or just want to chat, and leave whenever it suits you. The event continues as long as there’s interest.
\*\*\*
**STAYING CONNECTED**
**Only people who have attended at least one meetup will be accepted into the WhatsApp group**. To be added, please ask other participants at the meetup — a few members have permission to approve new people, and at least one of them will likely be present.
\*\*\*
**SOCIAL MEDIA**
If you’d like to share your drawings from the meetup, you can send on WhatsApp group or use the Instagram collab function (instagram.com/sketchy.collective). We warmly encourage everyone to share their work and take part in building our international sketching gallery — together with artists from all the cities where Sketchy Collective meetups are organized.
Please note that photos may be taken during the meetup and shared on our social media. If you’d rather not be in photos, please let the person taking photos know so they can avoid photographing you.
If you’re taking photos, please make sure people know about it and can choose whether they want to be included or not.
Vibe Coding Finland: June meetup with Elisa
Welcome to our June meetup in Helsinki, arranged together with Elisa (https://elisa.fi/).
Schedule:
17:00 Doors open!
17:30 Welcome words by organizers and Elisa
17:40 **"Build before specifying", Kristofer Pasanen, Development Manager/Product Owner, Elisa**
What changes when a PO builds before specifying? Better stakeholder conversations. Real artifacts for real decisions. Sometimes the roles blur – sometimes it becomes obvious why every role is still needed. Notes from a year of building for myself and at Elisa.
\*5 min break\*
18:15 **"Bringing Context, Orchestration and AI Agents to the SDLC by Graham & Akseli from Kaiku"**
With AI in delivery projects, we consistently see the same pattern: every engineer has their own rules, their own prompts, their own way of working — and nothing is shared. Context lives in people's heads, local systems, or scattered across repositories.
At Kaiku we've been tackling this from the inside - bringing shared context, structured skills, and orchestrated agents across our whole company. In this session, Graham & Akseli will walk through how Kaiku has approached this, how we've evolved and where we're aiming next.
* Why context is the real bottleneck in AI-assisted development and why solving it at the individual level doesn't scale.
* Building a shared knowledge layer: encoding expertise into skills, rules, and workflows that agents and humans pull from the same source.
* What it looks like in practice when POs and engineers are all working with the same AI context across their tools and agents.
* Orchestrating agents across the delivery lifecycle: what's worked, what we've learnt, and what we're still figuring out.
Akseli Manninen is a senior data scientist at Kaiku and Graham Daw is one of the founders.
\*5 min break\*
18:50 **"How an AI-native marketing agency actually uses AI**
**Built AI-native from day one", Valtteri Taube, co-founder, OstraconAI**
Valtteri Taube shares how the agency operates — and what it means to run marketing in an AI-first way. One example: the Claude Skills the team uses in its own marketing
19:30 Mingling / free discussion etc
20:00 Doors close

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits. Join us on this bucket list adventure
**Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.**
**It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.**
We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below)
Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft
BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft
As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft
To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change.
The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system.
We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes.
As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear.
We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe.
More about our trek/trip.
As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season.
**Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.**
*But I don't have the needed gear?!*
You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there.
*Does this include food?*
All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us!
*What is lodging like?*
We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters)
*I am new at this.*
That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us.
*How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?*
We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. **Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance.** We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor.
**Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.**
*How much does this cost?*
**Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600**
Trip Cost includes:
\- 9 nights accommodation
\- 3 meals everyday on the trek
\- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes
\- Camping equipment such as tents\, tables\, chairs\.
\- Lead Guide\, Assistant Guides\, Porters and Cook
*RSVP to this event shows your interest, but does not hold your space.*
