Nvidia GTC October 2025 keynote start time, countdown clock, where to watch, and full schedule
Table of Contents
Another Nvidia GTC (GPU Technology Conference) keynote is happening today, on October 28. It’s taking place in Washington, D.C and follows a day of workshops. It’s the shorter of the two conferences this year – the previous GTC was back in March and ran alongside GDC 2025 (Game Developers Conference). However, the main focus of GTC is artificial intelligence, so don’t expect much talk about gaming this time around.
It’s important to note that before Jensen Huang’s keynote, there will be a ‘pre-game’ happening, which will feature plenty of guest speakers to build up to the main event. Everything you need to know is just below.
When is Jensen Huang’s keynote at Nvidia GTC October 2025?
The event officially kicks off at 8:30 AM Eastern Time, but it’s not until 12 PM that the Nvidia CEO will take to the stage. Since it will be the main event, here’s when Huang’s keynote will be taking place in a bunch of different timezones. The countdown clock just below also corresponds to the main keynote. If you’re interested in the pre-game, be sure to join a few hours earlier.
