The New York Times reported “The giant chipmaker has transformed its annual developer conference from an academic event into a who’s who gathering for the future of artificial intelligence.” The March 18, 2025 article entitled ” Nvidia Is Hosting the Super Bowl of A.I.” (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/technology/nvidia-gtc-conference-ai.html) included these comments:
More than 25,000 people are expected to congregate on Tuesday at the event, known as Nvidia GTC. The crowds will fill a National Hockey League arena to hear a speech about the future of artificial intelligence from Mr. Huang, who has been nicknamed “A.I. Jesus.” Nvidia, the world’s leading developer of A.I. chips, has also wrapped San Jose in the company’s neon green and black colors, shutting down city streets and sending hotel prices soaring as high as $1,800 a night.
A who’s who of industry leaders is expected to attend, including Michael Dell, the chief executive of Dell Technologies; Jeffrey Katzenberg, the co-founder of DreamWorks and WndrCo, a venture capital firm; and Bill McDermott, the chief executive of ServiceNow.
Very interesting, but not surprising!
Will you attend?
