Technology Professionals

The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring people together of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals. WordPress Helsinki is purely organised by community volunteers, and operates under the WordPress code of conduct. This month, we welcome Daniel Spycher to speak about WordPress automation with [n8n](https://n8n.io/). In this talk, you will learn what n8n is and what you can use it for. We will also look at common risks and pitfalls. This is not just theory. You will see real examples that help you build your first workflows. We start with simple tasks such data manipulation and creating posts through the WordPress REST API to more advanced logic and automation. AI also plays an important role and can be integrated into your workflows. While n8n can be used for many purposes, this talk focuses mainly on practical use cases for WordPress. Daniel has been a WordPress developer and web designer for over 10 years. He enjoys building efficient systems and automating repetitive tasks. He is especially interested in tools that save time and reduce manual work. See you there! **Agenda** 17:15 – Doors open 17:30 – Opening words 17:40 – Presentation: WordPress Automation with n8n 19:00 – Drinks & networking 19:30 – After meetup drinks at a nearby bar This session will be in English.

Learning Finnish in Finland can be difficult because Finns tend to switch to English. That is one of the reasons people like our Finnish language café: you get to practice Finnish with Finns :) The events are completely free and there is always a native speaker to facilitate the conversation and to help find the right words. The coffee is good too ☕😋🇦🇹 Tervetuloa!

Tervetuloa **PowerUp! Live Meetup** tapahtumaan kuulemaan Power Platform -aiheisia esityksiä ja verkostoitumaan. Tapahtuman mahdollistaa [Fellowmind](https://www.fellowmind.com/fi-fi/) ja se järjestetään Helsingissä osoitteessa Takkatie 1, 00370 Helsinki. Rekisteröidy tapahtumaan ja muista kutsua kaverisi myös mukaan. Tapahtumassa on tarjolla mielenkiintoisia esityksiä ja keskustelua Power Platformiin liittyen. **Aikataulu (16:10 - 20:00)** 16:30 - 17:00 - Ovet auki 17:00 - 17:05 - PowerUp! intro 17:05 - 17:20 - Tervetulo-sanat **Fellowmindilta** 17.30 - 18.00 - **Sessio:** User defined functions: Yksi funktio, monta käyttöä, **Hilla Mäntyomena** 18.20 - 18.50 - **Sessio:** Mitä Microsoft Agent 365 tarkoittaa Power Platform -ylläpitäjälle?, **Mikko Koskinen,** Forward Forever 19.00 - 19.30 - **Sessio**: Power Platform + AI käytännössä: agentit Teamsissa ja täsmäytysautomaatio ostoon, **Miika Tekoniemi**, Fellowmind 19:30 - 20:00 - Verkostoitumista ja avointa keskustelua **User defined functions: Yksi funktio, monta käyttöä** Hilla Mäntyomena, Sulava Onko Power Apps -sovelluksesi täynnä toistuvaa logiikkaa eri kontrolleissa? User Defined Functions tarjoaa siistin ratkaisun. ——————————————————— **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. \*\*\* Haluatko puhujaksi PowerUp! Meetup tapahtumaan? Kerro siitä meille: [PowerUp! Meetup (Finland): Call for Speakers @ Sessionize.com](https://sessionize.com/powerup-meetup-finland/) \*\*\* Welcome to this PowerUp! Live Meetup event, which this time powered by **Fellowmind**. Register for the event and remember to invite your friends too.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization. We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
