GMI × MiniMax × TiDB at GTC — Client Stories & Founder Salon
What this is
After a full day at NVIDIA GTC, join GMI Cloud × MiniMax x TiDB for an intimate after-hours gathering with:
GMI clients running real AI workloads
Founders & builders shaping what’s next
Operators, partners, and teams from GTC
Thoughtful conversations, curated whiskey tasting, and great company.
The vibe
Client stories
A few GMI clients will share short, honest stories:
what they’re building
how their needs evolved as they scaled
how GMI became part of their infrastructure and ecosystem
Builder & founder
This evening is also a chance for founders to get to know the GMI team and explore what we’re building next.
If you’re working on AI, infra, agents, or applied systems — and are curious about GMI’s upcoming Startup Program — this is a low-pressure way to:
share what you’re building
talk through ideas and interests
see if there’s a fit, before anything formal
