Claude in Business · Helsinki · 21 Aug 2026

Where Claude stops being a demo and starts being commercial growth.

A hands-on morning from Arc Studio and Epicenter. Finland's sharpest Claude practitioners show, on real accounts, how Claude is used to win new business: from LinkedIn to live agent teams. No hand-waving, no theory theatre.

Free to attend. Demand is high, so seats are strictly limited.

Why this room

Two houses built for the people who move things forward.

Arc Studio is the world's first commercial thought leadership company: we scale new business for ambitious brands with Claude, starting from LinkedIn. Epicenter is the home of bold entrepreneurs and leaders driving our societies forward, built as their collaborative arena to innovate faster and smarter. For one morning, we put both in the same room.

01

Real accounts, real numbers

Not slideware. We open actual client work and show how Claude turns into pipeline, content and commercial voice.

02

From LinkedIn to live agents

See the full ladder: Claude for sharper LinkedIn presence, then standing AI agent teams producing and qualifying every day.

03

Built for operators

Founders, leaders and experts who want to act, not admire the technology. You leave with things you can run tomorrow.

Your hosts

Hosted by the people doing the work.

Joonas Kylliäinen
Joonas Kylliäinen

Keynotes

The stage: operators, not theorists.

People who have built governed, intelligent operations and can show the work. The line-up is now complete: three keynotes, three angles on the same shift.

Mikko Alasaarela
Keynote
Mikko Alasaarela
Founder & CEO, Agion
Operations that get smarter with every interaction.

Your customer-facing processes should get smarter with every interaction. Mikko demos how, with Agion, business leaders design governed operations in minutes: with intelligence that stays with your company.

Mikko is a serial founder and AI builder who has spent his career turning frontier models into real operational systems. With Agion he is building the layer that lets companies design, govern and run intelligent customer-facing operations without handing their knowledge to someone else. He is a sharp, pragmatic voice on what actually ships versus what stays a demo.

Harri Puupponen
Keynote
Harri Puupponen
Founder & Enterprise AI Architect, Norrin
Business Development & Claude.

How a Nordic enterprise AI partner turns Claude into business development that ships. Harri shows what it takes to move from pilots and demos to Claude in production: inside real workflows, on trusted data, with the governance and adoption that make it stick.

Harri is a co-founder of Norrin (formerly Cloud1) and leads its strategic and commercial development. With a background in architecture, integration and cross-disciplinary delivery, he has spent years helping large Nordic enterprises like Metsä Group, Skanska and Helen turn data and AI into measurable business impact. Norrin was named Finland's fastest growing IT consulting company in 2025.

Lassi Kurkijärvi
Keynote
Lassi Kurkijärvi
Chief AI & Tech, Miltton
Claude as a part of your team.

How modern knowledge work is shaped by hybrid teams of humans and Claude agents. Lassi shows what changes when agents sit inside the team instead of beside it: how work gets divided, how decisions get made and what leaders have to rethink.

Lassi is Chief AI & Tech at Miltton and has spent more than two decades in digital business, technology and strategic transformation. He was most recently CTO at Sofigate and has held technology and business leadership roles at Sanoma and Solita. In recent years his focus has been on how AI actually changes operations, management and decision-making. He is a familiar voice from Yle's Aamun jälkidigi panel, where he has appeared since 2019.

The morning

Three keynotes from operators who have built the real thing, a shared opening with Epicenter and an open floor for the room.

Welcome
9:30
Keynote: Mikko Alasaarela, Agion
Operations that learn from every single customer interaction, and that get built in minutes.
Keynote 01
10:00
Keynote: Harri Puupponen, Norrin
From pilots to production. This is the part where 90 percent of companies fall off the track. Norrin was Finland’s fastest growing IT consultancy in 2025, so the man knows what he is talking about.
Keynote 02
10:30
Keynote: Lassi Kurkijärvi, Miltton
Claude as a member of the team. Not a tool at the edge of the desk, but part of the group. The hardest subject of the morning, which is exactly what makes it the most interesting.
Keynote 03
11:00
Wrap up & networking
The speakers stay on. The best stories are always told here, and they rarely get said into a microphone.
