WordPress Automation with n8n
The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring people together of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals. WordPress Helsinki is purely organised by community volunteers, and operates under the WordPress code of conduct.
This month, we welcome Daniel Spycher to speak about WordPress automation with [n8n](https://n8n.io/).
In this talk, you will learn what n8n is and what you can use it for. We will also look at common risks and pitfalls. This is not just theory. You will see real examples that help you build your first workflows.
We start with simple tasks such data manipulation and creating posts through the WordPress REST API to more advanced logic and automation. AI also plays an important role and can be integrated into your workflows. While n8n can be used for many purposes, this talk focuses mainly on practical use cases for WordPress.
Daniel has been a WordPress developer and web designer for over 10 years. He enjoys building efficient systems and automating repetitive tasks. He is especially interested in tools that save time and reduce manual work.
See you there!

**Aikataulu (16:10 - 20:00)**
16:30 - 17:00 - Ovet auki
17:00 - 17:05 - PowerUp! intro
17:05 - 17:20 - Tervetulo-sanat **Fellowmindilta**

19:30 - 20:00 - Verkostoitumista ja avointa keskustelua
**User defined functions: Yksi funktio, monta käyttöä**
Hilla Mäntyomena, Sulava
Onko Power Apps -sovelluksesi täynnä toistuvaa logiikkaa eri kontrolleissa? User Defined Functions tarjoaa siistin ratkaisun.
———————————————————
**Mitä Microsoft Agent 365 tarkoittaa Power Platform -ylläpitäjälle?**
Mikko Koskinen, Forward Forever
Microsoft tuo agenttien hallintaan uuden kontrollitason: Agent 365, Entra Agent ID ja Azure AI Foundryn control plane muuttavat sitä, miten AI-agentteja tunnistetaan, hallitaan ja suojataan koko tenantin laajuisesti.
Power Platform -ylläpitäjät ovat tottuneet hallitsemaan Copilot Studio -agentteja ympäristöstrategian, DLP-käytäntöjen ja roolien avulla. Uudet agenttikontrollit laajentavat näkökulmaa merkittävästi: agentit eivät ole enää vain Power Platformin sisäisiä kohteita, vaan organisaationlaajuisia identiteettejä ja toimijoita, jotka näkyvät Entra ID:ssä, Purview’ssa, Defenderissä ja Azure Foundryssa.
Tässä sessiossa käydään läpi Microsoft Agent 365 -konseptin keskeiset ominaisuudet ja se, mitä ne tarkoittavat käytännössä erityisesti Power Platform -hallinnasta vastaaville henkilöille.
Sessiossa puretaan konkreettisesti:
* Miten Agent 365 toimii keskitettynä agenttirekisterinä ja näkyvyytenä koko organisaation agentteihin
* Mitä Entra Agent ID tarkoittaa agenttien identiteetin, omistajuuden ja elinkaaren hallinnassa
* Mitä Power Platform -hallinnassa tulee ymmärtää Azure AI Foundry Control Planesta ja hybridien low-code / pro-code -agenttien hallinnasta
* Miten nykyisiä prosesseja (onboarding, hyväksyntä, valvonta, incident response, poistaminen) tulee päivittää agenttien skaalautuessa
* Miten Purview ja Defender laajentavat data- ja tietoturvakontrolleja agenttien toimintaan
Esityksen jälkeen ymmärrät paremmin, miksi perinteinen Power Platform -governance ei enää yksin riitä ja mitä konkreettisia muutoksia omaan hallintamalliin on syytä tehdä agenttien yleistyessä.

Vibe Coding Finland: March meetup, Vibe Design Hackathon with JCI Finland & MOW
Welcome to the **Vibe Design Hackathon**, hosted by **JCI Finland** and **MOW** in Helsinki!
**Who is this event for?**
This event is for all design-minded people - but you don’t need to be a designer to join. We’ll explore how AI tools can be used as part of the design process, and we encourage you to try out tools and workflows that are new to you.
The goal is to learn and network as much as it is to build. We’ll work in small teams formed on-site. You can propose an idea (please think in advance), and we’ll select a set of ideas to build together at the start of the evening.
Try to frame your idea as a **micro-SaaS / digital product** — something a small team could prototype and potentially turn into a lightweight product in two hours.
**What to bring**
* A working laptop
* Any AI tool access/licenses you want to use
* A flexible attitude and team spirit
**We offer**
* Workspace, Wi-Fi, and facilitation
* Snacks & drinks
**Schedule**
17:00 Doors open
17:15 Opening words (HNKK & MOW)
17:30 Selecting ideas + forming teams
17:45 Vibe design starts
18:45 Halfway checkpoint
19:45 Pitching results
20:00 Winners / shout-outs
Later Afterparty at Kalle
Limited to 30 participants — sign up early to secure your spot!
**About us**
Vibe Coding Finland is a community for developers, designers, business professionals and tech enthusiasts who love to vibe code, learn, and connect in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your coding journey, you’ll find good company, meaningful discussions, and hands-on sessions to boost your skills and creativity.
Our meetups feature a mix of talks, coding sessions, project showcases, and networking — all centered around building great vibes and a supportive tech community in Finland.
Money: Fiction That Rules Reality?
Money is everywhere — shaping our choices, relationships, ambitions, and fears.
But beneath the spreadsheets and salaries lie deeper questions:
Is money just a neutral tool — or something that quietly governs our lives?
In this meetup, we explore the philosophical foundations of money and finance — not how to make it, but what it *means*.
Discussion avenues may include:
* Is money a shared fiction — and if so, why does it have such real power?
* Is debt morally permissible — or inherently problematic?
* Do we have obligations beyond what contracts specify?
* Is lending cooperation… or domination?
* Can owing money change what we owe as persons?
* Is the desire for wealth a natural motivation — or a corrupting force?
* Is the love of money truly the root of all evil?
* Can a financial system be morally neutral?
* Is inequality a feature of freedom — or a failure of justice?
* Does money measure value — or redefine it?
* Can everything legitimately be turned into something for sale?
We’ll ask whether financial life is merely practical — or fundamentally ethical.
No background in economics or philosophy required — only curiosity and a willingness to question the assumptions we live by.

Play Badminton Friday [Competitive Games] @Smash Center
【IMPORTANT SUMMARY】
* The purpose of competitive game session is to enjoy badminton games by focusing on trying your best to win the games.
* You don't need to be a very good player to join this session. Our level range from beginner to intermediate. We will put you to play with people with similar level. But if you are the first time to come and I don't know your level, then I will put you to play with less-experienced players to start.
* Please purchase your slot through this link [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/) Please also read the instruction inside this link, so that you have an idea how it works.
* Please bring feather shuttles to join the games. We only accept specific shuttles. Please read the following. **If you come without bringing feather shuttles with you, I may ask you to go home.**
【SIGN-UP SYSTEM】
* Please sign up and pay through this link. [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game)
* We don't use the signup system on Meetup.com anymore. (Neither the waiting list)
* It says this event is full on this meetup page, because I didn't open any slots here for you to sign up. You have to check this [sign-up page](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game) to see if there is still a slot available there.
* The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost.
【FEE and REFUND POLICY】
* Fee includes courts and the work I do to continue this group. Please sign up and pay before you come. NO refund if you do not cancel until 48 hours before the event.
* Racket: bring one or rent one at the counter.
* No matter the reason is sickness, accident or anything, the group or I will not afford the cost caused by your absence.
* Of course you CAN'T ask me, "Can I sign up for free for next week because I didn't come to use my slot this week?". Please remember, the court booked for you is there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't show up.
【COMMUNICATION】
* Communication: our whatsapp group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347)
* There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group. Numbers from other countries will all be rejected.
【DETAILS of COMPETITIVE GAMES】

RSL Classic Tourney
Li-Ning Super 1000
Victor Smash It 1

Yonex Aerosansa 30
Ling Mei Gold
Ling Mei Black
* Smash Center also sells feather shuttles (Ling Mei Gold and Black). You can purchase there at your arrival.
【OTHERS】
* Please always keep 1 meter away from those courts where people are playing. Never step into the corners of other courts! If I see you do this, I probably will yell at you!
* If you have some questions, you can put your questions in the comments on the event page. People will respond.
* If you are new to badminton, please Google basic badminton rules in advance. Serve rules, double rules and point counting rules. You are always welcome to ask anyone in our group. Most of our members are more than happy to help you.
* Badminton activity is organized for non-profit purpose, but I take a small fee for my work.
* Want to restring your racket? I can do restring for you. €24 including the string. Please get contact with Ken.

Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
