Industrial Networking

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 our facilitators** ***Maria Scholl*** With over 15 years of experience in international technical companies, Maria is the Lead Facilitation & Training at Epicmeets. She specializes in tearing down organizational silos and fostering trust-based, cross-functional collaboration where traditional fixes fail. As a seasoned transformation facilitator and moderation trainer, she helps complex organizations move past mere discussion to achieve shared understanding and concrete, sustainable change. ***Vesa Kangasperko*** Vesa is an experienced coach and facilitator in change situations. He has worked as a professional coach (ICF ACC) and a specialist in human‑centric change for more than 15 years. In his work, he has seen firsthand how high‑quality interaction correlates with the success of change initiatives. Vesa participates in the event as a facilitator, bringing his experience in human‑centric change work. For this event, he collaborates with Epicmeets **About Epicmeets** Epicmeets empowers people to collaborate authentically, equally, and with tangible outcomes. The Epics©-method and tools make it possible. We’ll be hosted by **Epicmeets** on their premises. Remember to thank them for inviting us to meet at their location! **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/).

**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.

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 **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.

But how do you actually build one? This talk covers the fundamentals and use cases, IQM's full-stack superconducting approach from cryogenics to quantum operating system, and an honest look at where the technology stands today and the challenges ahead. *Julia Ripatti: Introduction to quantum computing and practical applications of variational quantum algorithms* Quantum computers can potentially solve certain computational problems beyond the reach of classical computers. This talk provides an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of quantum computing, including qubits, quantum gates, and quantum circuits. The talk focuses on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs), a leading approach for near-term quantum computers that combine quantum and classical computational techniques. Through practical examples in optimization and machine learning, attendees will gain insights on how VQAs are applied to real-world problems. *Per Liebermann: Asynchronous Programming in Quantum Hardware Orchestration* Leveraging our hardware streaming capabilities and the concurrent nature of execution with the help of Python's async to limit idle time on the quantum processing unit.

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.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
