No company has driven and benefited from AI advancements more than Nvidia. Last year, Nvidia’s GTC 2024 grabbed headlines with its introduction of the Blackwell architecture and the DGX systems powered by it. With GTC 2025 right around the corner (it runs March 17- 21 in San Jose, Calif.), the tech world is eager to see what Nvidia – and its partners and competitors – will unveil next.
Expect GTC 2025 to further solidify Nvidia’s position as an AI leader as it showcases practical applications of generative AI, moving beyond theoretical concepts to real-world implementations. With the evolution of large language models (LLMs), Nvidia will likely demonstrate how these technologies are transforming industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and entertainment
Center stage, of course, will be Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. Known for captivating presentation style and bold pronouncements, Huang’s keynote is expected to set the tone for the conference, offering a glimpse into Nvidia’s vision for the future of AI.
Given the increasing demand for AI workloads, expect to see advancements in Nvidia GPUs aimed at addressing power efficiency and scalability, enabling more complex and demanding AI applications.
You can also expect a focus on edge AI. Given the proliferation of IoT devices and the need for real-time data processing, Nvidia will likely bring AI capabilities closer to the data source.
Nvidia will likely introduce updates to its CUDA (compute unified device architecture) platform, which the company developed to expand the capabilities of GPU acceleration. It’s designed to allow developers to access the computing power of CUDA GPUs and offers libraries and frameworks built to simplify AI development and deployment.
In addition to Nvidia, the exhibitor list is a who’s who of the tech industry, featuring companies like AWS, Dell Technologies, HPE, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks, Cisco, Cloudflare, Snowflake, Equinix to name a few.

Nvidia GTC 2024 wrap-up: Blackwell not the only big news
March 29, 2024: As Nvidia GTC 2025 approaches, let’s look back at news from GTC 2024. While the introduction of Blackwell architecture and the massive new DGX systems were the stars of the show, here’s a rundown of some of the other announcements.
Nvidia launches Blackwell GPU architecture
March 18, 2024: Nvidia kicked off its GTC 2024 conference with the formal launch of Blackwell, its next-generation GPU architecture Blackwell uses a chiplet design, to a point. Whereas AMD’s designs have several chiplets, Blackwell has two very large dies that are tied together as one GPU with a high-speed interlink that operates at 10 terabytes per second, according to Ian Buck, vice president of HPC at Nvidia.
Nvidia debuts massive Blackwell-powered systems
March 18, 2024: Along with its new Blackwell architecture, Nvidia unveiled new DGX systems that offer significant performance gains compared to the older generation. Iterations of Nvidia’s existing DGX servers range from 8 Hopper processors to 256 processors Nvidia is following a similar configuration structure for the Blackwell generation.
