GTC 2026 | Plug and Play Happy Hour | March 18
Join us on March 18th for a relaxed and thoughtfully curated gathering during the week of the NVIDIA GTC conference at our San Jose AI Center of Excellence office in Downtown San Jose. We’re bringing together startups, corporate partners, investors, and ecosystem leaders who are building and supporting the future of AI.
Located just a short walk from the main conference area, this happy hour is a convenient space to continue the conversations happening across the city — in a more personal and informal setting. We’ll be serving cold drinks, beer, and light snacks while creating room for meaningful connections.
Whether you're building breakthroughs in AI, advancing physical AI, strengthening AI infrastructure, or exploring new partnerships, this is an opportunity to connect with forward-thinking members of the community in a welcoming environment.
