NVIDIA's flagship AI and accelerated-computing conference (formerly the GPU Technology Conference), held each March in San Jose with a keynote by founder and CEO Jensen Huang. Only the main San Jose GTC is recorded here. GTC 2020 (the March San Jose event went online because of COVID-19; October edition online), GTC 2021 (April, online), GTC 2022 (March and September, online) and GTC 2023 (March 20-23, online) were virtual-only and are out of scope, so they have no edition files. In-person San Jose GTC returned in 2024 and is hybrid (free virtual access). Not recorded as editions: GTC DC / GTC Washington, D.C. (2019; 2025 Oct 27-29; 2026 Nov 30-Dec 3), GTC Paris (June 2025, at VivaTech) and the earlier GTC Europe (Munich), GTC Taipei (May 2025, at Computex), and earlier regional GTCs (Israel, Japan, China). Speakers: keynote and featured speakers only, as for NeurIPS. Sponsors: published top tiers (Diamond Elite/Elite, Diamond, Platinum, Gold) only; Silver/Bronze and several hundred exhibitors are left out. Twitter account is the event's own (@NVIDIAGTC).
