Last call for The Register ’s data sovereignty dinner in Washington

SPONSORED FEATURE: The Register’s Washington dinner with HPE and NVIDIA is this Thursday. The table is nearly set.

This Thursday, 29 October, The Register hosts HPE and NVIDIA at one dinner table in Washington to answer the question that stalls AI in regulated industries: where the data lives, who can reach it, and what an auditor will accept as evidence a year from now. The table is nearly set. If you have been meaning to ask for a place, this is the week.

Editor-in-chief Matt Rosoff chairs. HPE sends Bharath Ramesh, Head of Product, AI Factory Solutions, and Tracy Mills, Acting Director Federal Systems Integrators and Distinguished Chief Technologist Federal. NVIDIA sends Bert Condensa, Vice President for Enterprise AI Factory Segment Sales. They are there to take questions, with no slides and no recording, and the chair stops a pitch before it starts.

The evening runs under the Chatham House Rule. That is the point of it. The things worth knowing about sovereign AI infrastructure, such as what a bank had to rebuild or which option somebody paid for and would not buy again, get said at a table like this and nowhere else.

The agenda: which infrastructure options hold a boundary, what each one costs, and whether any of it survives production.

The seats are for technology, data and risk leaders in healthcare, financial services, research, pharmaceuticals, government and higher education. Dinner runs from 6.00pm to 8.30pm at Fiola Mare, Washington DC. Places go by invitation and the last of them are going now.

Request one here.

Government and public sector guests: where your agency’s ethics rules require it, you can pay your own share and we will provide a receipt. Please say so when you request an invitation.
