2026 GTC After-Party
After a packed week of keynotes, expo halls, and back-to-back sessions, AFK.surf and EPIC Connector are hosting an exclusive, invite-only gathering for founders and industry leaders. Step away from the noise, connect with the people shaping AI, and hear firsthand takes on the week's biggest moments.
We'll kick off with a curated panel featuring heavyweights from top AI labs, leading startups, and venture capital — then open the floor for real conversations.
