GTC is unique in supporting the most advanced research in the fields of AI, data science, high-performance computing, graphics, computing, and autonomous machines. In recent years, the event has increasingly focused on cloud and enterprise computing, where AI breakthroughs are often deployed.
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 experts. Dinner with Strangers brings attendees together in casual, moderated small-group conversations focused on various topics.
Developers will have an opportunity to acquire new skills with 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.
GTC provides underrepresented communities access to content and deep learning training through partnerships with minority-serving institutions. Additional networking and educational opportunities will be available before and after the event.
