How to stream Jensen Huang’s Nvidia GTC 2026 keynote and key highlights to expect

NVIDIA is set to open its annual GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, on Monday, with CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote scheduled for 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

GTC, short for GPU Technology Conference, serves as Nvidia’s flagship yearly event and runs from March 16 through March 19. The company typically uses this platform to unveil new products, highlight strategic partnerships, and outline its long-term vision for computing. Huang’s keynote is expected to focus heavily on Nvidia’s role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and computing. The two-hour presentation can be attended in person at the SAP Centre or viewed via livestream on the official event website, with a YouTube stream also available.

The broader four-day conference will centre on advancements in AI across multiple sectors, including healthcare, robotics, and autonomous driving technologies.

On the software front, reports suggest that Nvidia may introduce an open-source platform for enterprise AI agents, reportedly named NemoClaw, as first noted by Wired. The platform is expected to provide businesses with a structured framework for building and deploying AI agents — systems capable of executing multi-step tasks autonomously — positioning Nvidia alongside companies like OpenAI in this growing space.

On the hardware side, Nvidia is rumoured to unveil a new chip to improve AI inference performance. Inference refers to the stage where trained AI models generate outputs or make decisions, as opposed to the training phase, which requires significantly more computational resources.—enhancing inference speed and reducing costs are widely considered key steps toward scaling AI applications more broadly. This new chip would mark Nvidia’s continued push to dominate both the training segment — where it already holds an estimated 80% market share — and the inference market, where competition from custom silicon developed by companies such as Google and Amazon is intensifying.

In addition to product announcements, the event is expected to feature numerous partnership updates and demonstrations showcasing Nvidia’s AI capabilities across various industries.

Kevin Cook, senior equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research, indicated that attendees may also gain insight into Nvidia’s collaboration with Groq, an inference-focused company whose technology Nvidia reportedly licensed in a $20 billion deal late last year. The partnership has attracted significant interest, especially as Groq’s leadership — including founder Jonathan Ross and president Sunny Madra — has joined Nvidia to help further develop and scale the licensed technology.
