Sovereign AI: Run Local Models and Own Your AI Stack
Wednesday, November 11, 2026
1:00 AM – 2:30 AM
bEHRconnect — 2509 Bayou Road, New Orleans, LA 70119
Join Marcus Rosser of RT Solutions for a hands-on Sovereign AI workshop at bEHRconnect. Building on his August workshop at The Shop, this session explores how to run local AI models and take greater ownership of your AI stack.
We will work through local-model setup pathways, compare local and cloud approaches, and explore the data boundaries, security practices and human approvals that keep people in control. Bring a charged laptop and power adapter if you would like to follow along, or join the discussion and demonstrations.
