About the Event
Strap yourselves in, folks, because the annual tech pilgrimage to the sun-drenched Nevada desert is once again upon us. And, as is tradition, NVIDIA is kicking off the proceedings with all the subtlety of a supercharged GPU. From January 5-9, 2026, the Las Vegas Convention Center will morph into the undeniable epicentre of the tech universe for CES 2026. And who better to set the tone, to deliver the opening salvo, than the leather-clad titan of silicon himself, Jensen Huang, with a live keynote address on Monday, January 5?
While the full CES show floor doesn’t officially swing open its doors until January 6, NVIDIA’s press conference is the undisputed firing gun for a week of relentless innovation, jaw-dropping reveals, and frankly, far too little sleep. This is where the company lays out its battle plan for the year ahead, and if history’s any guide, we’re in for a dense, exhilarating barrage of announcements spanning everything from the latest generative AI marvels to autonomous machines, and, naturally, the cutting-edge silicon that makes gamers’ hearts (and, let’s be honest, their credit cards) do a frantic little jig.
This event is practically mandatory viewing for anyone with a vested interest in the future of technology—from developers and data scientists hungrily eyeing new tools, to industry executives desperately trying to read the silicon tea leaves, to gamers wondering when they’ll need to upgrade their rig again (spoiler: probably soon). What’s unveiled on this stage will send ripples, nay, tsunamis, through every tech sector for the next twelve months.
Attendees will get a cracking first-hand look at NVIDIA’s latest breakthroughs in AI, robotics, simulation, and high-performance computing. Expect to witness how the company plans to push the boundaries of everything from enterprise AI agents that think faster than you can say “neural network” to the sprawling, industrial metaverse. It’s going to be a proper spectacle.
Key Themes
While NVIDIA, as ever, keeps its keynote cards tantalisingly close to its chest, we can confidently predict a sermon focused on a few core gospels that will undoubtedly echo through the digital cathedrals of the tech world.
- The AI Revolution Continues: Fresh off a year of generative AI running rampant and reshaping industries, expect updates on everything from colossal data centre GPUs designed to crunch the universe’s data to AI models engineered to truly understand the physical world. Whispers are even doing the rounds about a new “Rubin” architecture and a specialised chip specifically for AI inference – a proper game-changer if true.
- Robotics and Autonomous Machines: With formidable platforms like Isaac Sim and NVIDIA DRIVE, the company is deeply invested in bestowing machines with sight, smarts, and the ability to navigate our world. Expect major demonstrations showcasing how their tech is powering the next generation of robots and autonomous vehicles, taking us a step closer to a truly automated future.
- The GeForce Empire Strikes Back: Let’s be honest, it simply wouldn’t be an NVIDIA keynote without something to get the PC faithful chuffed to bits. The rumour mill is churning with gusto about the next generation of GeForce RTX GPUs, likely the 50-series, which promise yet another mind-bending leap in performance and AI-powered graphics. Prepare for your eyeballs to be treated.
- Omniverse and Industrial Digital Twins: NVIDIA continues to place a hefty wager on the “industrial metaverse” becoming the next frontier. Look for cracking announcements on how its Omniverse platform is being deployed to create incredibly complex simulations and digital twins for manufacturing, engineering, and a whole host of other industrial applications. It’s the future, designed in code.
Highlighted Speakers
Let’s not beat around the bush; there’s one main event here, one singular force capable of holding an arena rapt for hours.
- Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA. The man, the myth, the legend, the leather jacket. Huang’s keynotes are legendary for their epic length, their astonishing technical depth, and their uncanny ability to deliver industry-shaking announcements. He will be the sole presenter, delivering a comprehensive, unvarnished vision for the company’s road ahead. Get ready for a masterclass.
Program Highlights
The keynote is the main course, undoubtedly, but NVIDIA will maintain a significant presence throughout the week, ensuring you get your fill of silicon goodness.

Registration
Attending this technological spectacle, whether virtually or in the flesh, requires a two-pronged approach.
Watching the keynote online is, thankfully, absolutely free, but you’ll want to register on NVIDIA’s event page to be notified precisely when the livestream begins. Don’t miss a beat!
To see NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology in person on the show floor, you must register for CES 2026 itself. Remember, CES is a trade-only event and is not open to the general public. Pricing for an Exhibits Plus Pass kicks off at $350, assuming you’ve sadly missed the early-bird special. Better get a wiggle on!
