HPE and NVIDIA executives to discuss AI data sovereignty at Washington dinner
The Register is hosting an off-the-record dinner in Washington on 29 October bringing together senior executives from HPE and NVIDIA with industry leaders to discuss AI data sovereignty. The event uses the Chatham House Rule, which means discussions can be shared without attributing statements to speakers, allowing frank conversation about the practical realities of AI infrastructure procurement and regulatory compliance that often differs from vendor marketing presentations.
HPE will send Thierry Pienaar, a fellow and Chief Technology Officer for HPC and AI, whilst NVIDIA will send Bert Condensa, Vice President for Enterprise AI Factory Segment Sales, with The Register's editor-in-chief Matt Rosoff chairing. The invitation-only dinner runs from 6:00pm to 8:30pm at Fiola Mare and is limited to technology, data and risk leaders in healthcare, financial services, research, pharmaceuticals, government and higher education who are making infrastructure procurement decisions.

AI data sovereignty concerns where companies can legally process and store information when using artificial intelligence, particularly in regulated industries like healthcare and finance. Different countries have different laws about how data can be handled, so organisations must carefully choose where to build AI systems and which equipment to purchase.
HPE and NVIDIA are major suppliers of the hardware and infrastructure that organisations need to run AI systems. As companies rush to adopt AI, the decisions about which systems to buy have become increasingly important for balancing innovation with legal requirements.
Technology leaders at hospitals, banks, research institutes and government agencies must weigh getting the latest AI capabilities against ensuring their data stays compliant with local laws. Direct conversations between these leaders and the vendors selling AI systems can reveal practical challenges that may not feature prominently in marketing materials, particularly around regulatory compliance that differs between countries.
