Every year, NVIDIA's GTC sets the agenda for the future of AI. This year, CDH is bringing it to your doorstep.
The Best of GTC 2026 (Melbourne) is a curated half-day event we'll be hosting on Tuesday 31st March featuring hands-on workshops, expert panels, and a GTC Watch Party to close out the day.
And thanks to our friends at NVIDIA and MMT, we're also giving away an NVIDIA DGX Spark — a personal AI supercomputer worth thousands of dollars!
The Best of GTC 2026 runs across two parts — come for one, or stay for both. Whether you're a developer looking to get hands-on with NVIDIA's latest tools, or simply want to understand what the biggest AI announcements of the year mean for you, there's a place for you on the day!
