Watch Nvidia’s GTC 2026 Keynote here
Ready to see the “next generation of AI”
Today, Nvidia will be hosting its GTC 2026 keynote, with CEO Jensen Huang leading the event. Last month, Nvidia’s CEO unveiled that it would unveil “a chip that will surprise the world” at the event. Furthermore, team GeForce claims that we will also see the “future of real-time rendering“.
The keynote will start today at 11 am PT (6 PM GMT), and is available to view below. At this event, we expect to hear a lot about Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform and about Nvidia’s latest AI technologies. This should include chips for AI compute, networking, and more. Will Nvidia discuss what comes after Vera Rubin?
Intel has confirmed that it will be at GTC 2026. This will be around six months after Nvidia’s $5 billion investment in Intel. Intel has stated that GTC “is the next step in our partnership” with Nvidia. Currently, it is unknown what Intel and Nvidia will announce at GTC. Will Nvidia use Intel Foundry for some of its future products?
Every March, San Jose gets a little electric.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang will walk onto the floor of the SAP Center — home of the San Jose Sharks — on Monday, March 16, at 11 a.m. PT to deliver a keynote to a crowd that has been arriving since Sunday from 190 countries.
Thirty-thousand attendees. Ten venues across downtown. Register, and you’ll hit your step count. The keynote streams free from nvidia.com for those who want to attend virtually.
This year’s GTC spans topics from physical AI and AI factories to agentic AI and inference. Huang’s keynote will cover the full stack: chips, software, models and applications. It’s a buildout measured in gigawatts. More than 700 sessions provide all the details.
The pregame show — featuring the CEOs of Perplexity, LangChain, Mistral, Skild AI and OpenEvidence — starts at 8 a.m. PT on Monday, three hours before Huang takes the stage. And the keynote is just the capstone of day one.
On Wednesday, March 18, at 12:30 p.m. PT, Huang will moderate a panel on open models with Harrison Chase, cofounder and CEO of LangChain, and leaders from A16Z, AI2, Cursor and Thinking Machines Lab. The conversation will be about where open models stand against the frontier closed ones, and what it means for everyone building on top of them. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. PT. Seating is first come, first served.
