“GTC brings together a massive ecosystem of developers,
researchers and corporate leaders who are using AI and accelerated
computing to change the world,” said Huang. “We have our strongest
program ever this year, highlighted by Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey
Hinton and Yann LeCun, among 1,300 sessions focused on every aspect
of computing and networking. There is no better place to see the
future and how you can help shape it.”
GTC is unique in supporting the most advanced research in the
fields of AI, data science, high performance computing, graphics,
edge computing, networking, and autonomous machines. It offers a
broad range of live and on-demand sessions for developers,
researchers, business leaders and students.
In recent years, the event has increasingly focused on cloud and
enterprise computing, where AI breakthroughs are often developed
and deployed. The keynote and other talks provide CxOs and IT
leaders the latest information on how to configure secure,
accelerated data centers that support modern workloads including
AI, machine learning and natural language processing.
Attendees will have several ways to engage with presenters and
other participants. Connect with Experts sessions allow
participants to sign up for specific topics and have their
questions answered by NVIDIA subject matter experts in the U.S.,
Europe and Asia. Dinner with Strangers brings attendees together in
casual, moderated small-group conversations focused on various
topics of interest. Additionally, registrants will be able to
search for, connect and chat with other attendees and presenters
throughout the show.
Nearly 300 startups are expected to present in an AI startup
track, hosted by the NVIDIA Inception accelerator program.
Additionally, AI Day for VCs will showcase venture capital firms
partnered with NVIDIA Inception to accelerate the AI startup
landscape. Featured speakers include executives, founders and
managing partners from leading VCs focused on AI, data science and
accelerated computing.
Developers will have an opportunity to acquire new skills with
world-class training from NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute.
DLI courses provide powerful learning experiences through in-depth
training, hands-on exercises and access to NVIDIA development
platforms. DLI workshops will cover a range of topics from deep
learning fundamentals to natural language processing to accelerated
computing. Short hands-on training lab sessions are free with GTC
registration. Full-day workshops are priced at $249.
GTC provides underrepresented communities access to content and
deep learning training through partnerships with minority-serving
institutions such as Prairie View A&M, Jackson State and
Hampton University, and organizations including Black in AI and
LatinX in AI. Additional networking and educational opportunities
will be available before and after the event.
