A Big Week for AI is Coming!

After a short break, I’m excited to bring back our weekly roundup of must-attend AI events! Next week will be packed with AI-focused discussions, networking, and innovations as NVIDIA GTC 2025 takes over San Jose, along with many great side events.

To help you navigate this busy week, the Data Phoenix team has put together a list of the most interesting meetups, networking receptions, and hands-on sessions happening alongside GTC. These events are a great way to connect with industry leaders, discover new ideas, and be part of the AI community beyond the main conference.

We’re also co-hosting and supporting several key events, and we’d love to see you there! Whether at NVIDIA GTC 2025, the INFRA@GTC Networking Reception, or AI Demo Jam: Where Innovation Meets Action, we’ll be on-site with cameras, shooting video demos and interviews, capturing key insights from AI innovators.

📢 AI Demo Jam – Open Call for Live Demos!
We’re selecting projects for live demonstrations at AI Demo Jam. If you have an innovative AI solution and want to showcase it, submit your application by Monday, March 17, 11:59 PM (PST).

See you in San Jose!
