Sounds very interesting. I could cover my own costs, but the distance and time is a killer at short notice. When do you need to know by?
If nothing else, I would be very happy to help prepare the presentation.
There appear to be two Finnish-specific properties,
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=property%3Afinnish&title=Spe...
One of which is the Jufo ID, which is their research publication tracking system used for their national research evaluation program, and it would be nice to see them embrace open data for that exercise.
I havent populated that property yet, but it would be easy to do. Once that is done, comparisons can be made to the research evaluation systems in other countries that also have data in Wikidata, such as Norway and Australia.
I have CC'd user:Stryn and User:Fnielsen (http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~faan/), and onwiki notified User:Stryn just in case.

Wikimedia Finland calls for a Wikidata developer/advocate to present Wikidata at Avoin Suomi 2014 fair http://avoinsuomi2014.fi/ September 15–16. The event is organized by the Prime Minister's Office in collaboration with several public sector actors and open knowledge organizations.
Wikimedia Finland has a booth, and will present projects in GLAM and education, and the Wikimedia sister projects with focus on Wikidata.
To take advantage of the presence of the skilled wikidatan, we plan to arrange a Wikidata hands-on workshop before or after the event.
The closer you are to Finland the better, but Finnish language is not a requirement.
Please contact susanna.anas@wikimedia.fi if you are interested. You may forward this to a person you know might be interested.
Looking forward to talking with you!
Susanna
