It will run Monday, March 16, through Thursday, March 19, at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. This annual Silicon Valley happening is the world&#8217;s leading AI event. <\/p>\n<p>The company is expecting 39,000 attendees from 190 countries. There will be over 700 workshops, covering &#8220;everything from physical AI [driverless vehicles and robotics], and AI factories to agentic AI and inference,&#8221; nearly 400 exhibitors, and over 70 hands-on training labs, according to Nvidia. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Humanoid robot next to a digital board with &quot;AI&quot; lit up. \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773526214_274_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s GTC 2026 keynote &#8212; it will be livestreamed for free<\/p>\n<p>CEO Jensen Huang will deliver the keynote address at the SAP Center in San Jose on Monday, March 16, at 11 a.m. PT. It&#8217;s scheduled for two hours.<\/p>\n<p>This event will be livestreamed, and afterward, a recording will be available on Nvidia&#8217;s investor relations website. I highly recommend investors and potential investors in Nvidia stock watch this event. I can almost guarantee you will learn things that other individual investors don&#8217;t know, giving you a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Huang&#8217;s keynote will reportedly cover the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI<\/a> stack &#8212; chips, software, models, and applications. On that note, what I don&#8217;t think some folks realize is that Nvidia is so much more than &#8220;just&#8221; an AI chip company these days; it&#8217;s an AI infrastructure company with full-stack offerings. This gives it a competitive advantage over more typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/semiconductor-stocks\/microchip-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chip companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Huang will take the stage again on Wednesday, March 18, at 12:30 p.m. PT to moderate a panel on open-source vs. closed-source AI models. Leaders from several developers of AI models will join him, including Cursor, a closed-source AI model developer, and Thinking Machines Lab, which is developing open-source, customizable models.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia is invested in both of these private companies. In November, it joined Cursor&#8217;s $2.3 billion Series D funding round. Just this past week, it announced a strategic partnership and &#8220;significant investment&#8221; in Thinking Machines Lab. The company is led by Mira Murati, the former chief technical officer (CTO) at OpenAI, best known for its ChatGPT chatbot. <\/p>\n<p>Impressive list of GTC 2026 speakers<\/p>\n<p>As usual, this Nvidia event will feature an impressive list of speakers. Some of those from publicly traded companies that investors might find the most interesting include: <\/p>\n<p>Chris Malachowsky, co-founder of Nvidia<br \/>\nDeepu Talla, head of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/robotics-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">robotics<\/a> and edge AI at Nvidia<br \/>\nAshok Elluswamy, head of AI software at Tesla<br \/>\nExecutives from Amazon and Alphabet&#8217;s Google<br \/>\nExecutives from ride-hailing leaders Uber and Lyft<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Nvidia Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773526214_152_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-1.56%) $-2.87<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$180.28<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$4.4T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$179.94 &#8211; $186.10<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$86.62 &#8211; $212.19<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>6M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>175M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>71.07%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.02%<\/p>\n<p>3 Out of the Last 4 GTCs Have Given Nvidia Stock a Solid Boost<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia stock did not get a boost from last year&#8217;s event, but that was due to the poor overall market. Stocks had a horrible March 2025 due to President Trump&#8217;s announcement of planned significant global tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, however, Nvidia stock got a significant lift from GTC 2024. It increased 7.4% for the week, versus 2.4% for the S&amp;P 500 index. <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Nvidia stock also got a nice boost from GTC 2023. It gained 5.7% from Monday, March 20, to Thursday, March 23. The S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.8% over this period.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, GTC 2022 also provided a solid tailwind for Nvidia stock. It gained 6.4% from Monday, March 21, through Thursday, March 24. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.3% over this period.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope for another boost from this year&#8217;s GTC, though that might be tougher than usual given the broader market&#8217;s struggles due to the Iran war and soaring oil prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artificial intelligence (AI) tech leader Nvidia (NVDA 1.56%) is set to host its flagship GTC 2026 (GTC stands&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,343,344,85,46,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-339578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
