NVIDIA Confirms GTC 2026 Will Return to San Jose on March 16.
NVIDIA has officially announced the next edition of its flagship GPU Technology Conference with GTC 2026 set to return to San Jose beginning March 15, 2026. The confirmation appears on the company’s official GTC portal, accessible via the NVIDIA GTC website.
The upcoming event is expected to be a major milestone in NVIDIA’s rapidly evolving AI roadmap. Across 2025, NVIDIA held two high profile keynote events one in its traditional San Jose venue and an unprecedented second keynote in Washington, focused heavily on United States AI policy and regulatory influence. With NVIDIA now valued at an extraordinary $4.4 trillion, the company aims to maintain a cadence of consistent technical disclosures spanning both enterprise and geopolitical domains.
At GTC 2026, the spotlight will be firmly on Vera Rubin, NVIDIA’s next generation AI architecture. Industry expectations suggest that mass production of Vera Rubin based AI clusters will align with the event’s timing, making it the centerpiece of the conference. The architecture is anticipated to deliver significant leaps over the current Blackwell generation, driven by several next era technologies including support for HBM4 memory, manufacturing on TSMC’s 3nm process, and a substantially enhanced networking stack tailored for hyperscale and sovereign AI deployments. With performance projections indicating a phenomenal uplift, Vera Rubin is positioned to redefine the competitive landscape in accelerated computing.
While GTC remains centered on AI and data center innovation, announcements targeting consumers are expected to be limited. NVIDIA traditionally reserves gaming and desktop GPU news for CES 2026, leaving GTC to serve as the cornerstone for enterprise, cloud, and AI centric messaging. However, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is widely expected to offer a forward looking preview of the Feynman GPU architecture, continuing his tradition of energizing the industry with early glimpses of future platforms.
GTC 2026 marks another pivotal moment as NVIDIA scales its AI leadership into the second half of the decade, shaping global infrastructure from training clusters to advanced networking and memory technologies.
