Field Report: GPU Technology Conference 2019 #GTC19 - insideBIGDATA

I eagerly attended my 3rd GPU Technology Conference (GTC): "Deep Learning & AI Conference," in Silicon Valley, March 23-26 as a guest of host NVIDIA. GTC has become my favorite tech event of the year due to its highly focused topic areas that align well with my own; data science, machine learning, AI, and deep learning; plus the show has an academic feel that I appreciate. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivered another one of his patented marathon keynote address which unveiled the company's vision for the upcoming year. The company had to move the keynote's location from the San Jose Convention Center to a very large hall at San Jose State University (complete with pedicabs provided by Kinetica). At around 2 hours and 40 minutes, Huang's seamless and riviting keynotes are masterful with no notes or teleprompter used.
