GTC 2025 Field Notes: Where Technology Took Over San Jose
We also visited GTC 2025—where the future of AI came crashing into the real world.
Last week, NVIDIA’s GTC 2025 wasn’t just a tech conference; it felt more like an AI-powered takeover of San Jose. From the SAP Center to surrounding streets, parks, and even nearby restaurants, everything was covered in GTC.
The Keynote: A Legendary Entrance Even Before Showtime
People started lining up three hours early—circling the stadium—for Jensen Huang’s keynote.
Yes, THREE HOURS EARLY.
The moment the lights dimmed, it felt like a cinematic premiere.
And when Jensen took the stage, he laid out a roadmap for AI that felt less like a forecast and more like a glimpse into the future.
Twice the Size, and Packed with AI From All Over the World
The show floor had doubled in size compared to last year, with over 400 booths and thousands of attendees packing the space.
Global giants like AWS, Meta, Sony, and HPE unveiled their latest solutions across Generative AI, robotics, simulation, autonomous driving, and more — offering a true full-spectrum of AI in one conference.
GTC Took Over the City
The park in front of San Jose City Hall became an unofficial “GTC Park”, complete with networking lounges, food tents, and even GTC merch trucks with a never-ending line. (Yes, the “I AM AI” t-shirt was seriously tempting.)
One-sentence Summary of the Event
“The whole city was GTC. Rumor has it next year’s event will be in Las Vegas — it’s simply gotten too big for San Jose.”
