About the Event
Brace yourselves, the annual tech pilgrimage to the Nevada desert is upon us, and as is tradition, NVIDIA is kicking things off. From January 5-9, 2026, the Las Vegas Convention Center will once again become the epicenter of the tech universe for CES 2026. And who better to set the tone than the leather-clad titan of GPUs himself, Jensen Huang, with a live keynote address on Monday, January 5.
While the full CES show floor opens on January 6, NVIDIA’s press conference is the unofficial starting pistol for a week of relentless innovation and sleep deprivation. This is where the company lays out its battle plan for the year, and if history is any guide, it will be a dense barrage of announcements spanning generative AI, autonomous machines, and, of course, the silicon that makes gamers’ hearts (and credit cards) flutter.
This event is mandatory viewing for anyone with a stake in the future of technology—from developers and data scientists eager for new tools, to industry executives trying to read the silicon tea leaves, to gamers wondering when they’ll need to upgrade their rig again. What’s revealed on this stage will ripple through every tech sector for the next twelve months.
Attendees will get a first-hand look at NVIDIA’s latest breakthroughs in AI, robotics, simulation, and high-performance computing. Expect to see how the company plans to push the boundaries of everything from enterprise AI agents to the industrial metaverse.
Key Themes
While NVIDIA keeps its keynote cards close to its chest, we can expect a sermon focused on a few core gospels:
- The AI Revolution Continues: Fresh off a year of generative AI insanity, expect updates on everything from massive data center GPUs to AI models designed to understand the physical world. There are even rumors of a new “Rubin” architecture and a specialized chip for AI inference.
- Robotics and Autonomous Machines: With platforms like Isaac Sim and NVIDIA DRIVE, the company is deeply invested in giving machines sight and intelligence. Expect major demonstrations on how their tech is powering the next generation of robots and autonomous vehicles.
- The GeForce Empire Strikes Back: It wouldn’t be an NVIDIA keynote without something for the PC faithful. The rumor mill is churning about the next generation of GeForce RTX GPUs, likely the 50-series, which promise yet another leap in performance and AI-powered graphics.
- Omniverse and Industrial Digital Twins: NVIDIA continues to bet big on the “industrial metaverse.” Look for announcements on how its Omniverse platform is being used to create complex simulations and digital twins for manufacturing, engineering, and more.
Highlighted Speakers
Let’s be honest, there’s one main event here.
- Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA. The man, the myth, the leather jacket. Huang’s keynotes are legendary for their length, technical depth, and industry-shaking announcements. He will be the sole presenter, delivering a comprehensive vision for the company’s road ahead.
Program Highlights
The main event is the keynote, but NVIDIA will have a presence throughout the week.

Registration
Attending the spectacle requires a two-pronged approach.
Watching the keynote online is free, but you’ll want to register on NVIDIA’s event page to be notified when the livestream begins.
To see NVIDIA’s technology in person on the show floor, you must register for CES 2026 itself. CES is a trade-only event and is not open to the general public. Pricing for an Exhibits Plus Pass starts at $350, assuming you missed the early-bird special.
