Spotlight on Startups
NVIDIA Inception, a global program to nurture cutting-edge startups with 9,000+ members, will host tracks aimed at helping emerging companies build and grow their businesses and gain industry knowledge.
Sessions designed for venture capital firms include: “Emerging Venture Themes for 2022 – Omniverse + Metaverse” and “Emerging Venture Themes for 2022 – Quantum Computing.”
Learning and Development
GTC also offers excellent opportunities for new and experienced developers to get training in some of the hottest areas in technology.
It starts with Learning Day on Monday, March 21, and continues all week. There will be sessions in four languages across multiple time zones from NVIDIA subject-matter experts and through NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute and the NVIDIA Academy.
Students and early-career professionals can participate in introductory deep learning and robotics courses. These include sessions like “The Right Formula for AI Success: Insights from AI High Performer,” “Deep Learning Demystified” and the “5 Steps for Starting a Career in AI” panel.
More experienced developers can enroll in DLI courses. Participants can dig as deeply as they like, even after the conference ends and earn DLI certificates demonstrating subject-matter competency.
And through the end of March, new members to NVIDIA’s Developer Program can access an additional free GTC DLI course when they sign up.
Developed for IT professionals, NVIDIA Academy will host certified training programs on the data center, InfiniBand, IT infrastructure and networking. The program includes instructor led-training sessions followed by self-paced coursework and proctored certification tests.
Supporting AI Ecosystem for All
As part of NVIDIA’s commitment to making AI accessible for all developer communities and emerging markets, numerous sessions will showcase how developers and startups in emerging economies are building and scaling AI and data science.
Sessions for emerging markets include “Look to Africa to Advance Artificial Intelligence” and “Democratizing AI in Emerging Markets Through the United AI Alliance.”
NVIDIA also provides free credits for DLI courses to minority-serving institutions, from community colleges to historically Black colleges and universities.
