OpenClaw Milano #1: Claws land in Milano

OpenClaw Meetup #1: Claws land in Milano
OpenClaw is entering its breakout phase in 2026, with many clones landing in our everyday lives, and the builder ecosystem around it is accelerating fast, with NVIDIA and Tencent recently entering the game. We’re launching the very first OpenClaw community meetup in Milan, an informal, hands-on gathering designed for builders, founders, creatives, and curious minds who want to explore, experiment, and build.
The goal is simple: understand why OpenClaw is gaining momentum and what you can start building with it today. Whether you’re already experimenting or just getting started, this session is practical, beginner-friendly, and community-driven.

🔥 Agenda

6:30–7:00 PM — Welcome & Networking
Arrivals, opening, and meeting fellow builders.

7:00–7:30 PM — The Age of the Claws starts in 2026
Speaker: Luca Bianchi
NVidia just announced NemoClaw, as their enterprise-ready OpenClaw version. But what is all the fuss about this "claw"?
OpenClaw has emerged as one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in the AI agent space, with over 300k GitHub stars and multiple releases per week. Its core proposition, a self-hosted, always-on personal AI assistant accessible through the messaging channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Teams, Signal, and many others) is resonating with developers and teams who want full control over their data, models, and agent's behavior. The session brings you upp to speed into the so-called "Claw World", presenting OpenClaw and its clones. The session includes a live demo of installation and configuration within a secure sandbox environment, walking through the full setup from zero to a working deployment.

7:30–8:15 PM — OpenClaw: Personal AI Agents at Your Fingertips on WhatsApp
Speaker: Alfredo Morresi
What happens when you give an LLM a well-defined personality, a 24/7 proactive mandate, access to a multitude of digital platforms, specific tasks, a WhatsApp or Telegram account, and the ability to improve by learning from daily interactions?
That's the premise behind OpenClaw — an open-source project that in less than two months went from zero to the most popular project on GitHub, rallied hundreds of contributors, and is reshaping how we interact with AI on a daily, personal level.
In this talk, we'll explore the architecture and ideas behind OpenClaw, what makes personal AI agents different from traditional chatbots, and why this space is moving so fast. Fair warning: the rabbit hole goes deep.

8:20–9:00 PM — Networking and Happy Hour
Pizza and catering is offered by our sponsor Denied.dev, the Runtime Authorization Engine for AI Agents. It empower builders to define, enforce, and monitor real-time security boundaries, ensuring autonomous software operates safely in production.
