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

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

———————————————————
**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.

Board Games at Arkade (Thursday)
Pay the **5 € board gaming fee** to the bar at the counter when you arrive. You must be at least 18 years old to enter [Arkade](https://www.arkade.fi/). We play in English and the game rules are taught before starting play, unless everyone is already familiar with the game. No previous experience with board gaming required. Despite our RSVP numbers here on Meetup, we almost always have at least 20 people participating weekly.
The venue has a great board game library, the host and other players usually bring their own games too: our selection varies weekly. We're a very casual group so you're welcome to arrive early or late and join whatever game is starting up, there is no attendance tracking, or welcoming process.
The bar has alcoholic drinks, mocktails, and soft drinks available as well as some snack foods. They've been okay with people ordering food to the bar with meal delivery services.
If you are feeling sick, please stay home.

Gardening Club
This is a relaxed, friendly gardening club where we grow things together and take care of a shared space. We’ll start indoors, planning the garden as a group and sowing seeds, then move outdoors as soon as the ground is warm enough.
This is a closed group of 15 volunteers who commit to meeting once a week to garden together, decide what to harvest, and what needs cleaning up or changing.
Gardening is a lovely way of being together without pressure. We can chat if we feel like it, or be quiet if that’s what the day calls for. It’s good for mental wellbeing, a chance to be side by side, connected through taking care of living things and watching them grow.
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.

Mafia game
Let's play Mafia together!
Locations: Oodi library, Group room #8 (2nd floor).
Mafia is a role playing social deduction game. People sit around the table, and are secretly assigned a role. The role divides them in two teams:
\- Mafia \(minority\)
\- Citizens \(uninformed majority\)\.
Members in the Mafia team know each other, but the citizens don't. You are not allowed to reveal your role in any way.
Each turn consists of a night time and day time.
During the night:
The Mafia team secretly "kills" one member of the Citizens.
Players with special roles (detailed below) secretly use their ability.
During the day:
Everyone presents their opinions on who they think are in the Mafia team, or present arguments as to why they are not in the Mafia team if they have been accused.
Vote for those players you think are in the Mafia team - those who get a majority vote (>= 50%) will get a chance to present their defense.
Vote to "eliminate" 1 person in the defense - the accused will not be eliminated if there are no votes or gets <50% of the votes.
The game continues until either the Citizens eliminate all Mafia members, or the Mafia becomes the majority.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Most of the people at our event have experience playing the game. But we are glad to meet new people, and will be happy to briefly introduce you to the game rules and players' strategies if you decide to come.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Special roles at our game party:
Doctor (Citizen team):
At each night, you can save a player who you think the Mafia team has killed. That player cannot be killed by the Mafia team that night, and the Mafia do not know who you saved. You can save yourself once.
Detective (Citizen team):
At each night, you can point to a player you think is in the Mafia and the narrator will show thumbs up if they are in the Mafia team. You can not detect the Godfather.
Sniper/Professional (Citizen team):
Each night, you could either choose to kill someone you think is in the Mafia, or not shoot. You have only two bullets. If you select a citizen to shoot, you go out of the game yourself, but that citizen is still in the game.
Constantine (Citizen team):
During the night, you can bring back one dead person to life. This can be used only once per game.
Matador (Mafia team):
Each night, you can diffuse someone's special ability. You can not diffuse the same person two nights in a row.
Godfather (Mafia team):
You're the head of the Mafia. The detective can not detect you.
Terrorist (Mafia team):
During the day, you can reveal your character, and choose to kill yourself and another player. The latest time you can do this is during when someone (e.g. you) are presenting their defense. The person you kill with yourself cannot be resurrected by Constantine

Oscar International Nominee: SIRAT at the Gateway Film Center
Join us as we get together to see SIRAT, an Oscar-nominated Best International Film from Spain that follows a father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties.

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: SIRAT has already won numerous awards, including 4 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, along with the Chicago, Montclair and Toronto International Film Festivals!

The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it “an unforgettable exercise in tension” and “a brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.”

**A Few Notes:**
✅ This is an **in-person event**
✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.
**TALK ABSTRACT:**
AI is all the hype these days; however, despite (or maybe because of) the excitement around it, a high percentage of AI projects fail. Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints.
In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.

DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
