Sovereign AI: how to build Enterprise AI Systems with Privacy at the Core

About the event:

Another AI tool blocked by legal or compliance?
You're not alone. Everyone wants AI. Everyone wants compliance. Almost no one knows how to ship both. Let's fix that. 🙌
Join us for an event dedicated to the infrastructure, tooling, and principles behind building Sovereign AI systems - featuring NVIDIA, SIMPLITO, PICCASO and CIVO.
As enterprise AI scales, so do the stakes around data sovereignty, compliance, and trust. This event brings together the builders, operators, and privacy leaders shaping what responsible AI looks like in practice.
Part 1: Demos & Presentations

Meet the speakers:

🟣 Ross Verrall
Enterprise Services, EMEA - NVIDIA
Pioneering Accelerated Computing

🟣 Mirek Manelski
Chief Operating Officer & Board Member - SIMPLITO
A look at DeepFellow: a framework for deploying private AI locally and building dedicated agents, with full data control, privacy and auditability.

🟣 Josh Mesout
Co-Founder of relaxAI and the Chief Innovation Officer at Civo

Part 2:  Building Sovereign AI That Actually Works
Panel Discussion + Q&A (90 min)
A 90-minute conversation bringing three essential perspectives on AI security into the same room: compliance, implementation, and infrastructure. Because sovereign, privacy-first AI isn't built by any one of these alone — it's built where they meet.
Our panelists will dig into:
What sovereign AI means in practice, not just in principle
How privacy, compliance, and performance can coexist — and where they still clash
The evolving regulatory landscape and what it demands from technical teams
Practical patterns for responsible AI deployment in enterprise environments
Expect candid answers, a few productive disagreements, and takeaways you can bring back to your team the next morning.
Meet the Moderator:

🟣 Rob Price
Futurise Podcast Host

Meet the Panelists:

🟣 Janine McKelvey
Advisory Board Member at Piccaso

🟣 Kasia Toczko
Head of Comms at SIMPLITO

🟣 Simon Hansford
Chief Commercial Officer at Civo

What to expect from the event:
A perspective from NVIDIA on enabling sovereign AI at enterprise scale;
Practical insights into deploying private, locally-hosted AI with DeepFellow;
Honest dialogue on compliance, ethics, data ownership, and technological sovereignty - with DPOs in the room;
Networking with developers, engineering leaders, AI architects, and privacy professionals.
Building AI systems that enterprises - and their customers - can trust, takes more than good intentions. It takes the right infrastructure, the right tooling, and a real dialogue between the people building AI and the people responsible for governing it.
That's exactly what this evening is about
Come & join us. 🙌
Detailed agenda:
