Next week, Washington, D.C., becomes the center of gravity for artificial intelligence. NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C., lands at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center Oct. 27-29 — and for those who care about where computing is headed, this is the moment to pay attention.

The headline act: NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote address on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 12 p.m. ET. Expect more than product news — expect a roadmap for how AI will reshape industries, infrastructure and the public sector.

Before that, the pregame show kicks off at 8:30 a.m. ET with Brad Gerstner, Patrick Moorhead and Kristina Partsinevelos offering sharp takes on what’s coming.

But GTC offers more than a keynote. It provides full immersion: 70+ sessions, hands-on workshops and demos covering everything from agentic AI and robotics to quantum computing and AI-native telecom networks. It’s where developers meet decision-makers, and ideas turn into action. Exhibits-only passes are still available.
