NVIDIA GTC 2026 Keynote Featuring CEO Jensen Huang's Keynote Today, Watch It Live Here!
It's time for GTC once again, and this time, we can expect even more momentum from NVIDIA around the AI space with loads of announcements & some surprises. The company will be showcasing its brand-new hardware & software innovations, which have propelled it to unparalleled heights over the course of a few years.
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.
As for what to expect, well, NVIDIA's CEO has already teased that they are preparing several chips that the world has never seen before. We know that GTC 2026 will be the platform where NVIDIA officially kicks off its Vera Rubin platform, replacing Blackwell & Blackwell Ultra, delivering new levels of AI capabilities. It looks like we might also hear something about future chips, especially Feynman, which will incorporate a range of next-gen technologies.
We also believe that NVIDIA has some major releases planned for consumers, hinting at its next-gen SoCs for the AI PC segment. We have long waited to see NVIDIA's formal entrance in the consumer segment, & that makes much more sense now with Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, & Apple all targeting this crucial segment.
NVIDIA is also planning to unveil its next step in its partnership with Intel, which could be related to custom Xeon SoCs with NVLINK, and even the utilization of Intel's Advanced Packaging technologies for its future chips. Intel has been heavily marketing its EMIB interconnect technology for the past few months & it looks like we can see that integration happen at GTC 2026.
This is just a small summary of what to expect from NVIDIA's GTC 2026; you can find our full roundup of what to expect here. But for those who want to see all the announcements happen live, tune in and watch the livestream with us in a few hours.
