POP-UP EYE GAZING MUSIIKKITALON PUISTOSSA
```
👁️ EYE GAZING POP-UP – Musiikkitaloon puistossa, Helsinki
Lauantai 6.6.2026 | klo 13:00–15:00
Mitä tapahtuu kun pysähdyt katsomaan toista ihmistä suoraan silmiin? Ilman suoritusta ja ilman roolia?
Tuomme Helsinkiin yksinkertaisen ja syvällisen pop-up tapahtuman: Eye Gazing.
Sinä. Toinen ihminen. Hiljainen kohtaaminen. Sinä päätät kuinka pitkään.
Kun istut toisen ihmisen eteen ilman odotuksia, ilman rooleja, tapahtuu jotain yksinkertaista ja samalla harvinaista: näet toisen ja tulet itse nähdyksi.
Ei sanoja eikä suoritusta. Vain kaksi ihmistä jotka kohtaa toisensa. Kun mieli lopettaa luokittelun jäljelle jää puhdas läsnäolo.
Tämä on kaikille avoin kutsu kokeilla kohdatuksi tulemista.
Istu ja katso. Anna katseen välittää sen mitä sanat eivät saa kerrotuksi.
📍 Musiikkitalon takana Makasiinipuistossa, Mannerheimintie 13a
💸 Täysin ilmainen, ei ilmoittautumista
✅ Tule vain paikalle!
Kohtaamisen järjestää Open Heart Helsinki

HDW Low-Key Data Meetup - Summer Edition!
We thought it would be nice to start the summer right, in good company, in a relaxed setting.
So, for the first time, the HDW Low-Key Data Meetup takes place at the [Olarin Panimo Taproom](https://olarinpanimo.fi/taproom/) at Konepaja, Vallila. We'll be outside, weather permitting, so it's also the perfect start for the 'terrace season'. And if it happens to rain, we'll just be inside instead.
If you're coming from the city center, Tram number 9 is probably the easiest to take.
A couple of words about Helsinki Data Week at the beginning. After that, it’s again just hanging out with like-minded folks and your beverage of choice!
Free for participants!
Join us in Olarin Panimo Taproom at 17:00 on Thursday, June 4!
ps. Following a spring cleaning of his bookshelf, Antti will have \~20 (mostly data) books to give away. First come, first served!
Discussion about Bitcoin and related topics
Bitcoin meetup - meet the local bitcoiners, network, present your projects and ideas or just hang out!
Topics include everything that remotely touches Bitcoin.

Marketing Monday Networking
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. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.
