Talks

We’re always on the lookout for new talks.

We’re always on the prowl for new hosts.

Hosting a meet-up is fairly easy and low effort for the most part. There are a couple of ways that meet-ups are hosted, usually:

Host it at your offices. This is usually a nice option for companies based in Helsinki. All that is required is seating, a projector or TV, and your choice of drinks, snacks, or food.
Arrange a meet-up at a bar or pub or other event venue. Many bars have private cabinets that can be reserved at little or no cost, just make sure that they have a projector available for talks. Your company might want to open a tab for a portion of the evening, but this is by no means compulsory.

For the first option, you obviously need to have your company backing you, but a meet-up at a bar can be arranged by anyone.

It’s not compulsory to have talks at meet-ups, but they are a nice way of spreading what you’ve learned lately and good for fostering discussion.

We’re also open to other ideas if you have them…
