NVIDIA GTC 2025 Conference: Accelerating Innovation in AI Technology
Categories :
The NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2025 will be held from 17–21 March 2025 in San Jose, California. It is a leading event in AI, accelerated computing, and robotics, bringing together experts such as Frances Arnold, Pieter Abbeel, and brands like Meta, Mistral AI, and Together AI, to discuss innovations, real-world applications, and future trends in technology through keynotes, technical sessions, and networking opportunities.
The NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) is one of the most anticipated events in the technology calendar, bringing together developers, engineers, researchers, and business leaders from around the globe.
Scheduled for March 17–21, 2025, at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, GTC 2025 promises to be a landmark event in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), accelerated computing, and beyond.
We will provide a detailed overview of what attendees can expect from GTC 2025, including the keynote address, featured panels, technical sessions, and networking opportunities.
Overview of GPU Technology Conference
NVIDIA GTC originated in 2009 in San Jose, California, with a primary focus on leveraging the potential of GPUs to solve complex computing challenges. Over the years, the conference has evolved significantly, shifting its focus to the diverse applications of AI and deep learning.
Today, GTC covers a wide range of topics, including self-driving cars, healthcare, high-performance computing, professional visualisation, and training through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI).
The conference has grown exponentially in terms of attendance and influence. GTC 2018 attracted over 8,400 attendees, while the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 necessitated a shift to a digital format, drawing approximately 59,000 registrants. The 2021 GTC keynote, which was streamed on YouTube, featured a segment created using CGI with the NVIDIA Omniverse real-time rendering platform.
The photorealism of this segment, including a model of CEO Jensen Huang, was so convincing that news outlets were unable to discern it was CGI until NVIDIA revealed the details in a blog post later that year.
GTC 2025: What to Expect
GTC 2025 promises to build on this impressive legacy, continuing the tradition of keynote addresses delivered by Nvidia CEO and founder Jensen Huang, which have historically set the stage for groundbreaking announcements in the world of AI, robotics, and computing.
