**MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:**
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behavior if someone indicates that my behavior makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.

Luontoretki - Nature Trip: Keskuspuisto
Welcome to a nice and invigorating **winter trip to the Central Park**! On this trip, we will have fun traveling from lodge to lodge, starting from the Maunula hiking lodge and ending at the Paloheinä hikind lodge.
**The trip is open to everyone and free of charge.**
**PLEASE NOTE! Advance registration is required for this event. You can register 1-2 people by filling out the form under the event on the Lapinlahden Lähde website: https://lapinlahdenlahde.fi/tapahtumat/luontoretki-nature-trip-keskuspuisto/**
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration early by sending an email to kaupunkiluontokeskus@lapinlahdenlahde.fi. If the event is full, you can join the waiting list by sending an email to the Nature Center (Kaupunkiluontokeskus).
**Meeting at 13:00 at Maunulan maja (hiking lodge), the address is Metsäläntie 9, 00620 Helsinki.** Instructor Ilona will already be at Maunulan maja at around 12:00 having lunch, so you are welcome to join her for lunch or coffee at your own expense. At 1:00 p.m., we will start walking from the lodge in a relaxed pace towards the north. Along the way, we will admire the winter nature and birds, pass by the Maunula Urn Cemetery, and marvel at the remains of the Maunnuneva and Pakilanmetsä fortifications (snow conditions permitting). We may also stop to warm up at the Pirkkola sports park. The route is approximately five kilometers long, and participants are free to join only part of the trip if they wish. The trip will end at approximately 3 p.m. at the Paloheinä hiking lodge and Palomaja café, where the nature center will offer participants coffee or tea.
**The main purpose of the trip is to enjoy nature in friendly company.** We will walk at a relaxed pace without rushing. Central Park is not completely barrier-free, especially in winter, but we will take routes that are as easy to walk on as possible. Dress warmly and wear shoes suitable for winter walking. You can also bring sdudded shoes or walking sticks. The trip is weather-dependent in case of stormy weather, and in rainy weather we may take a shorter/faster route. If you wish, you can bring snacks and a sitting pad.
The trip will be guided by City Nature Center instructor Ilona Rautiainen.

AI Freedom Alliance - Inaugural Summit
**\*\*\*\* More details and sign up at: https://aifalliance.org/summit-2026/ \*\*\*\***
**What is AI Freedom Alliance?**
AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by
professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large.
**What’s Happening?**
***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.***
This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower
humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone.
**Why Attend?**
Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business.
This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data**
Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics.
The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth.
The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
(note: we are back at Rev1 this month!)
**About Our Speaker**
[Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos.
