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!

AI maturity in product creation - PO Meetup
At this meetup, we will walk through a practical AI maturity framework for digital product creation.
**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.
### **đ± Join us in the April meetup about AI maturity in product creation**
AI is already affecting how product teams work, but many teams still struggle with the same questions:
* Where are we today?
* Where is AI genuinely useful?
* And what should we do next?
At this meetup, we will walk through a practical AI maturity framework for digital product creation in e-commerce. It helps product teams assess how AI shows up in discovery, prioritisation, decision-making, delivery, and customer experience đâŠand identify the next improvement area.
You will get a concrete way to discuss AI maturity with your team, spot the most relevant opportunities, and avoid getting stuck between experimentation and real adoption.
Expect a practical session and an honest discussion, not AI buzzwords.
#### **Speakers**
**đ€ Okko Ojala, Senior Architect, Nitor**
Introducing the AI Maturity Playbook and how teams can use it to start the conversation around beneficial use of AI in product development
**đ€Joakim Sandström, Senior Architect, Nitor**
Sharing lessons from applying the framework with Finnair and what happened when the framework met real product work
đ *Where:* **Nitor Office, Aleksanterinkatu** 46, 6th floor (next to Mummotunneli)
đ *When:* **Wednesday, 22nd of April, from 17:30 to 19:30**
đȘ *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 youâre fine-tuning stakeholder management, mastering prioritisation, or seeking inspiration, youâll 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.
đPlease 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**.

OmniTalks: Product đ€ Engineering
"Oh, product and engineering work really well together here." â someone at every company, in every all-hands, ever.
But do they, though?
**This event is for EMs, PMs, Product Designers who want to make their workstyle actionable.**
The product world has spent years arguing that PMs, designers, and engineers should be in the room together from day one instead of handing work down a conveyor belt like it's a factory floor. It's one of the most talked-about ideas in how we build products, but also one of the hardest to actually pull off đ€·
This edition of OmniTalks is about what it looks like when it works.
We call it the trifecta â a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and an Engineering Manager, have picked an already shipped feature and will deliver three perspectives on how it got built.
Three people from Omnisend's Formsâ team will each take the stage and walk you through the same project â what they were trying to solve and how the three of them stayed aligned *(or didn'tđ€·).*
**Agenda**
* 17:30 â Doors open.
* 18:00 â The trifecta takes the stage in relay, walks you through the project from three different perspectives (this part will be streamed online)
* 19:30 â Networking
* 21:00 â Extending the evening? Alaus Studija is very close to our office đ»
**The Trifecta**
Augustina ReipĆĄlÄger, Staff Product Designer
Povilas Ćœvirblis, Engineering Manager
Paulius PreikĆĄaitis, Product Manager
This is a hybrid event and will be streamed online.
đ· Photos will be taken at the event

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
