AI and the metaverse are revolutionizing every aspect of the way we live, work and play — including how we move.

Leaders in the automotive and technology industries will come together at NVIDIA GTC to discuss the newest breakthroughs driving intelligent vehicles, whether in the real world or in simulation.

The virtual conference, which runs from Sept. 19-22, will feature a slate of in-depth sessions on end-to-end software-defined vehicle development, as well as advances in robotics, healthcare, high performance computing and more. And it’s all free to attend.

Headlining GTC is NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who will present the latest in AI and NVIDIA Omniverse in the keynote address on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 8 a.m. PT.

Conference attendees will have plenty of networking opportunities, and they can learn from NVIDIA experts and industry luminaries about AV development, from the cloud to the car.

Here’s a brief look at what to expect during GTC:
