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 â 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 â 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.
* â Why context is the real bottleneck in AI-assisted development and why solving it at the individual level doesn't scale.
* â 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 â 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.
### **đŠ Join us in the June's meetup about product and service development in the AI era**
**đ€ 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.
đ *Where:* **Nitor Office, Aleksanterinkatu** 46, 6th floor (next to Mummotunneli)
đ *When:* **Wednesday, June 10th, 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**.
Business Agility Q&A Clinic
Join us for one last đ”đ B.A.F. meetup before the summer officially starts.
This session will provide practical answers to real-life challenges and questions from participants. We will follow a lean coffee format, which allows for relevant discussions and ensures that topics the group is interested in are covered.
We are meeting at 17:00 on the terrace of a lovely place, [Art Cafe Taideterassi](https://maps.app.goo.gl/BuCZVkv2XQA24yZ7A) \- 15 minutes walk from the Helsinki main train station\. Waterside with a gorgeous view\, great coffee and food and even better company\.
Bring your questions, answers, opinions, thoughts... or just come and listen đ We start group work at 17:30.

Quantum computers promise to improve solutions to problems classical machines struggle with, from simulating molecular interactions to optimisation in logistics and finance. 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.

What is a Friend?
Friendship is one of the most important parts of human life. We seek friends, rely on them, celebrate with them, and mourn their loss. Yet the nature of friendship is surprisingly difficult to define.
What makes someone a friend rather than merely an acquaintance? Is friendship based on affection, trust, shared experiences, mutual support, common values, or something else? Can friendships survive profound disagreements? Do we owe our friends special loyalty, and if so, why?
This meetup will explore questions such as:
* What is a friend?
* Why do human beings seek friendship?
* What makes a friendship genuine?
* Are some friendships better than others?
* Can friendship exist without reciprocity?
* What causes friendships to grow, fade, or end?
No prior knowledge of philosophy is required. Bring your curiosity, experiences, and questions as we investigate one of the oldest and most enduring topics in philosophy.
Description by ChatGPT
Full Circle
Full Circle is a community of practice where mental health and wellbeing professionals come together to learn, share, and grow.
âIf youâre 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.
â**Full Circle is for professionals who work with clients in mental health or wellbeing** (e.g. psychotherapists, counsellors, art therapists, coaches, and others integrating mindâbody approaches) .
âA 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. Itâs a circle of peers, not a classroom.
â**By registering for this event, you agree to stand by our shared principles:**
* âConfidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
* âPresence: We give our full attention to each other, listening deeply.
* âRespect: Every voice matters; we value different perspectives and approaches.
* âCuriosity: We come to explore, not to give definitive answers.
* âContribution: Everyone is encouraged to share practices, cases, and reflections.
* âCommitment: We show up consistently, knowing the community grows through regular participation.
â**How our gatherings work**:
âWe gather **once a month** in person, and every time we move through the same process:
* â*Check-in*: We begin by going around the circle, with each person sharing whatâs present for them in the moment.
* â*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.
* â*Integration dialogue*: Together, we explore what the practice brought up and how it might be woven into our client work.
* â*Check-out*: Each person shares one insight they will carry with them.

\- stay in\, enjoy tea and cookies and play board games
\- go out for dinner or order food\, feel free to bring your meal
\- Just engage in deep conversations
â
Your **RSVP counts as your registration**, we expect you to **honour it**.

Badminton at Tali
Hello sporty population!
Join us for badminton and meet people from around the world! Everyone is welcome, whether youâre 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 âgoingâ 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.
đ Location: Talihalli Huopalahti
â° Time: 11:00â12:30
đž 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?
âą Open to everyone, regardless of background or gender
âą No badminton skills needed â beginners are welcome
âą **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 youâre 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!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals⊠all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isnât more data. Itâs often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)âs CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behaviorâmoving people, and moving metrics. Youâll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
