NVIDIA has officially announced the next edition of its flagship conference GTC 2026, which will take place from 16–19 March 2026 in San Jose (California). The event is regarded as one of the most important global meetings in the artificial intelligence industry, bringing together developers, researchers, and business leaders. This year's edition is set to focus on breakthrough AI technologies that will shape the industry, the enterprise sector, and the consumer market in the coming years.
GTC 2026 – AI innovation centre
NVIDIA GTC is a conference where NVIDIA presents its latest hardware and software solutions. In 2026, the main themes will include:
Physical AI (artificial intelligence in robotics and physical systems),
AI factories (data centre infrastructure optimised for generative AI),
Agentic AI (autonomous decision-making systems),
Inference and scaling AI models.
In practice, this means presentations of new GPU architectures, solutions for data centres, and tools to support the training and deployment of generative models.
San Jose will transform into an AI campus
The event will take place in multiple locations in downtown San Jose, creating a kind of "GTC campus". The organisers promise: inspiring keynotes, expert sessions, hands-on training, networking with engineers and technology partners. Unofficially, it can be assumed that the CEO of the company, Jensen Huang, will speak at the conference, whose presentations have been setting the direction of the entire GPU and AI industry for years.
NVIDIA has already opened registrations for the event. The organisers are offering a 20% discount on the Conference Pass using the code: GTC26-20. This is a signal that the company is already building interest around next year's premieres and potential hardware announcements.
GTC 2026 is shaping up to be one of the key events in the AI industry next year. NVIDIA is focusing on topics related to infrastructure, agent-based artificial intelligence, and the development of data centres for generative models. If the company maintains the pace of innovation seen in recent years, the March conference could bring further significant announcements for the entire tech market.
