Oct 21, 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM (UTC)
NLND Neuland Berlin, 80 Neuköllnische Allee, Berlin, 12057
Watch the GTC Berlin keynote live with sixty founders, builders and investors at NLND. Then work out together what it actually means for what you are building.
The most-watched two hours in AI, in a room with the people it affects.
On 21 October, Jensen Huang takes the stage at the Tempodrom for the GTC Berlin keynote.
There is a reason the whole industry stops for this one. Over the past month alone, Huang has told the market NVIDIA will sell twice as many chips next year, projected seventy percent growth, and pushed back publicly against every call to slow AI down. At Dreamforce in San Francisco a few days ago, sharing a stage with Marc Benioff, his framing was simply: "Now we can know everything and do anything."
Agree with him or not, he is setting the pace of the race. If you are building anything today, his roadmap becomes your constraints, your costs and your opportunities for the next twelve months. Most people will watch the recording later. The ones who move first will have watched it live, with other founders, and left the room with a decision.
That is what this morning is for.
What happens
Startup Grind Berlin is hosting the keynote live in the cinema at NLND. Sixty seats, deliberately small, curated for founders, developers and investors working in AI and deep tech.
9:30 Doors open, drinks
9:50 Welcome from Startup Grind Berlin and NLND.
10:00 - 10:45 Panel Discussion: How NVIDIA Inception helps founders go from early idea to scale, with Alexander (NVIDIA) and Wolf (Prefix), moderated by Ranjan (Startup Grind Berlin)
10:45 to 11:00 Audience Q & A
11:00 The keynote, live on the big screen. Cinema sound, cinema seats, and a room that reacts.
13:10 The draw. Alexander picks the winners of four GTC Berlin exhibit passes, valid for the rest of the conference through 22 October.
13:15 Lunch, drinks and networking.
14:30 Close. Stay and talk if you want to.
Who should come
Founders building with or on AI. Developers who will be reading the release notes that afternoon anyway. Investors trying to work out what just repriced. If you are going to think hard about this keynote regardless, think about it with sixty people who are doing the same.
Register for free now. Capacity is limited. Registration approval required.
Tell us what you are building when you register. That is how we keep the room worth the morning you are giving up.
