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!*

**About the Coaching Circles**
Our monthly Coaching Circles are a safe and collaborative space for all members of the community and participants of the events to share their experiences, tools and more. We gather every month, to explore a different topic. The event follows the [Agile Finland's Code of Conduct](https://www.agile.fi/about/code-of-conduct/).
The Red Tent - Empowering Circle
**The Red Tent – an Empowering Circle for Women and Non-binary**
*”Do you miss an opportunity to share your experiences, memories and desires as a woman in a safe circle?”*
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, please make sure to reserve yours! If you are not on the list, you will be kindly asked to leave.
If you repeatedly register without showing up and cancelling in good time for someone else to participate instead, the host may choose to remove you from future events, so as to ensure fair access to the group.
In our weekly Monday meetings, we will explore them together through somatic practices, dance, singing, painting, writing, discussing and lecturing.
The 7x times workshop series will culminate in a voluntary exhibition of our own right at Lapinlahden Lähde.
This is an open group, but to get the full experience, it is recommended to attend the entire workshop series.
We follow the principles of safe space and no discrimination of any kind is accepted at the event.

[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.

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

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.

Haskell Library Workshop
**Will take place in the event we get four signups.**
**The main event page for signing up: [https://jarkkaa.fi/events/20d7c2a9-5380-4f6b-8508-1d9ced68724b](https://jarkkaa.fi/events/20d7c2a9-5380-4f6b-8508-1d9ced68724b)**
The room we have reserved in Oodi has rather strict attendee limit of 10 people. The recommended way to sign up is using the link above.
Main description text copied from the event page listed above:
The Helsinki Haskell Users Group has not had the opportunity to actually use Haskell as a group so far, at least in the time that I have been a participant, so it is high time we corrected that!
The idea behind this workshop is that we gather together to place the foundation for, and hopefully build onward from there, a library for general use in the Haskell ecosystem. As things stand, we have elected to write a library working with bidirectional parser-generators, so one definition to both be able to parse data of a given form and to generate such data. We, the organisers, offer space, a general plan of how to tackle the topic, a repository for the work (please set up a [GitHub](https://github.com/) account if you do not presently have one) and general oversight of the process with hopefully fitting some programming time ourselves just as well. You, the participant, bring Haskell code and possibly some snacks for yourself. Eating and drinking is allowed in the room, though be mindful of potential allergies. Oodi also has a cafe from which more can be bought with money.
Hope to see you there!
Full Circle
Full Circle is a community of practice where mental health and wellbeing professionals come together to learn, share, and grow.
If you’re a mental health or wellbeing practitioner who thrives on shared wisdom and community, Full Circle offers a space where you can connect, grow, and bring fresh insights back into your client work.
**Full Circle is for professionals who work with clients in mental health or wellbeing** (e.g. psychotherapists, counsellors, art therapists, coaches, and others integrating mind–body approaches) .
A community of practice is a space where we come together as professionals to share our experiences, challenges, and insights, not to be taught, but to learn from each other.
Full Circle is about connection, not workshops. It’s a circle of peers, not a classroom.
**By registering for this event, you agree to stand by our shared principles:**
* Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
* Presence: We give our full attention to each other, listening deeply.
* Respect: Every voice matters; we value different perspectives and approaches.
* Curiosity: We come to explore, not to give definitive answers.
* Contribution: Everyone is encouraged to share practices, cases, and reflections.
* Commitment: We show up consistently, knowing the community grows through regular participation.
**How our gatherings work**:
We gather **once a month** in person, and every time we move through the same process:
* *Check-in*: We begin by going around the circle, with each person sharing what’s present for them in the moment.
* *Shared practice*: One member of the community leads the group through a method, exercise, or embodied practice from their own field. Everyone experiences it first-hand.
* *Integration dialogue*: Together, we explore what the practice brought up and how it might be woven into our client work.
* *Check-out*: Each person shares one insight they will carry with them.

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!

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.
