Own Your AI - Event #2

AI is becoming infrastructure. The question is no longer whether you use it — it's who controls it, who pays for it, and who sees your data. Own Your AI is a new engineering group for practitioners who want to own AI, not rent it. Sovereignty over your models, your data, and your costs. Independence from a handful of hyperscalers. Mastery from the token up to the hardware. A community of people who actively build systems and want to exchange notes with peers who do the same. Who is this for? LLM- und Agentic-Engineers AI-Platform-Engineers Hands-on Tech-Leaders Talks Andreas Petersson: "Self-Contained OpenClaw agent from 0 to 100 in 30 minutes" One Physical Machine, zero external dependencies, a fully autonomous OpenClaw agent stack running by the end of the talk. Andreas builds it, from bare machine to working agent, with nothing calling out to the cloud. If you think local autonomy is complicated, this is your 30 minute proof that it is not. Andreas Burner: "Highly Secure Local Agents - Nothing Leaves the Room" Full agent productivity on your most sensitive code and data, with sovereignty you can prove instead of promise. A pod with a restricted network interface cuts the agent off at the OS level, so exfiltration is physically impossible no matter how clever the model gets. This talk shows the setup: network isolation, volume mapping, rootless, and ephemeral pods that leave nothing behind. Lightning Talks Luka Secerovic: "The Illusion of Learning with AI - How to Keep your Brain in the Loop" Andreas Kunar: "Distributing AI-Inference to Multiple Machines" Parzival von Algoprog: "Local hermes agent with 8GB VRAM?! The Bonsai-Test" Format Focus talks, lightning sessions, open discussion, and networking Language: talks in English or German — the audience decides Location: Vienna, in person only. No online attendance. Cadence: every 1–2 months Why in person only? The value is in the hallway conversations, the whiteboard sketches, and the people you meet. Hosts Andreas Burner — Management Advisor for AI & Cloud Strategy, Board Advisor, and Court-Certified Expert. 25+ years in global enterprise technology. BurnerNet.com Andreas Petersson — Technology Advisor and Founder of Capacity. Two decades of experience building and auditing decentralised, security-critical systems. Capacity.at "The Residency Vienna" and Telos Circle are graciously supporting us with a great location for this event. Registration Seats are limited — we deliberately keep the session small so that discussion and networking actually work. Register here via Luma. You'll receive the exact location, the final speaker line-up, and the agenda in good time before the event. Own the stack. Own the data. Own the future. OwnYourAI.eu
