NVIDIA GTC Overview

NVIDIA GTC (GPU Technology Conference) is a global artificial intelligence (AI) technology conference organized by NVIDIA, primarily targeting developers, innovators, and business leaders. The inaugural GTC was held in 2009 in San Jose, California, initially focusing on GPU technology, and later gradually shifting towards areas such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, autonomous driving, and supercomputing.

Recently, NVIDIA announced that GTC 2025 will take place from March 17 to 21, 2025, at the SAP Center and other venues in San Jose, California. A major highlight will be the keynote speech by CEO Jensen Huang, scheduled for 1 AM Taiwan time on March 19. NVIDIA is expected to provide a live streaming link on its official website for this event.

NVIDIA GTC 2025 Highlights

According to NVIDIA’s official website, the centerpiece of this GTC conference will be Jensen Huang’s speech, focusing on AI agents, robotics, and the future development of accelerated computing. In addition, there will be over 1,000 speeches and more than 300 live demonstrations.

Notably, 2025 will mark the first “Quantum Day” (March 20) introduced by NVIDIA, which will focus on the current state and future development of quantum computing, inviting industry leaders such as D-Wave and IonQ to discuss applications of quantum technology.

Furthermore, NVIDIA will also launch a special “Night Market Day” in 2025, creating 20 street food and handicraft stalls at the Plaza de Cesar Chavez in San Jose to recreate the atmosphere of a Taiwanese night market.
