Sovereign AI: Local Intelligence & Privacy-First Builders Pub Afternoon

​Calling all privacy-conscious techies, self-hosting enthusiasts, local AI runners, and anyone who believes in owning their digital tools. Join us for an afternoon of connection and conversation!

​This casual pub gathering is simply about meeting like-minded people who run their own AI instead of feeding Big Tech. If you've ever installed Ollama, tinkered with Open WebUI, or just believe AI should run on YOUR hardware, you belong here. No presentations or formalities. Just good people who share similar values about digital independence, having real conversations over drinks.

​What to expect:

• ​1:30-2:00: Arrivals & Introductions (grab a drink, find your people)

• ​2:00-3:30: Open Conversation (share what you're building, learn what others are doing)

• ​3:30-4:00: Future Plans (decide if/how we want to stay connected)

​Who should come? Anyone interested in sovereign AI and self-hosted intelligence. Whether you're running full Ollama setups with multiple models, just starting with GPT4All, or simply curious about alternatives to ChatGPT. If you value privacy and local compute, you'll fit right in. We're looking to connect people who think about AI differently: those who prefer LocalAI over APIs, PrivateGPT over cloud services, and believe in keeping our data and models under our own control.

​Limited spots to keep it intimate and conversational. Register to meet your tribe of privacy-first AI builders.
