Day 1 – May 31 MyData Sauna
18.00 to 0.00 – venue tbd
Enjoy the most Finnish of traditions and join us at the legendary MyData Sauna. Sauna is both a deceptively potent social technology as well as the path to maximum relaxation. It is also said that all the really important decisions are made in the sauna. With separate sauna rooms for men and women, the sauna is traditionally enjoyed naked but it’s ok to bring your swimming costume if you feel more comfortable that way. Beverages and light snacks are provided.

Post conference – June 2nd and weekend
Staying to enjoy the delights of Helsinki for a few more days? We will provide you with a selection of activities you can do yourself or in small groups to help you make the best of your time here, whether you want to enjoy nature, culture, sightseeing, shopping, or even to visit more saunas.
