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.

In-person gathering
You are warmly welcomed to another in-person gathering of the Return community.
During this event we'll create an open, free and safe space for meeting up with the people of the community and sharing what the heart desires to share.
There's no strict agenda on what this event will hold. The soft intention here is to return to the mystery and see what arises from the present moment we create together.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in-person at Bokvillan and returning to the mystery ✨
Sahaja Yoga meditation course in English
Welcome to join our Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings in English! The meetings are free of charge and you can just show up. The group consists of people of different ages and nationalities who have been meditating different periods of time. Newcomers are welcome at any time. We normally sit on chairs or on pillows on the floor, so there is no need to bring a mat and you can wear normal clothes.
Meditation means mental silence or thoughtless awareness. You are present here and now, but your mind is not bombarded by thoughts from the past or the future. In this state, you feel peace and joy, which are the essential elements of the present moment. With regular practice of meditation, it is possible to establish this state within us.
The group is lead by volunteers who are experienced and can offer guidance to get you started. We give a short introduction to the meditation and after that we do meditation exercises. We also give tips on how to meditate at home. After the meditation class, we have a cup of tea and there is time for questions.
Welcome! We hope to see you in our meditation meetings!

Restorative Forest Experience - Seurasaari
Discover the restorative power of nature on a guided forest walk on the
island of Seurasaari. Through calm observation and gentle connection
with the forest atmosphere, slow down, unwind, and sharpen your
senses.
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, please make sure to reserve yours! If you are not registered, you will be kindly asked to leave.
Step out of everyday busyness and into a more present, embodied
experience of nature. Practice selected ForestMind exercises and
include optional moments of shared reflection in a safe, supportive
space.
These gentle exercises invite you to open your senses, cultivate a
feeling of calm and refreshment, and practice being fully present in the
moment. Some invitations focus on noticing and kindly accepting your
own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
The method, developed in Finland by Mrs. Sirpa Arvonen, combines
researched nature-based health effects with simple mind-skill practices
and is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or previous
experience. Leave the forest feeling grounded, refreshed, and more
connected to yourself and your surroundings.
**Program details:**
*WHEN:* Thursday 11th of June, starting at 14.30 and ending around 17.30
*LOCATION:* Seurasaari Island – about 3,5 Km on designated forest trails
(easy access, paths available).

(you will see the bridge when you get off from the bus).
*AGE:* over 18yo
***PLEASE NOTE***: the activity will take place with sun or rain. Participants bring
comfortable shoes/clothing, weatherproof clothing, water bottle, and an
open mind. No extra equipment required.

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

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**.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
