DG X Codento Excursion
We’re happy to welcome the people of Aalto Data Guild exclusively to our student event to network with us and hear about practical work life use cases of cloud technology, data and AI in November!
You will hear real examples of how we do customer work in e.g. our customer Telia and get to meet our data team and cloud architects. Additionally, we have a guest from Google!
The speakers from our side are our Lead Cloud Architect Jari Timonen and Data & AI Lead Janne Flinck.
The place of the event is at the Helsinki city center at our office’s meeting lounge and rooftop terrace. The address of the space is Kansakoulunkatu 1B. There will be room for the fastest 30 of you! Sign up here.
2. AYY and fun
The long-awaited Tempaus Week is finally here!
The goal of Tempaus is for the entire Aalto community to contribute at least one person-year, or 2,000 hours, of volunteer work during the week, thereby raising awareness of the value of volunteer work in Finland.
So join the events of Tempaus Week and do your part towards our common goal. You can find the events in AYY’s event calendar (http://ayy.fi/en/events). During the week, you’ll have the chance to try out different forms of volunteering and make a difference in your own way. Join the Tempaus information channel (http://t.me/tempaus2024) and discussion group (https://t.me/+0Wz0gdeCAR9iMTBk) to stay updated during the week.
Let’s form our Collective Handprint together!
