Nvidia GTC conference opens today, featuring OpenClaw exclusive experience zone: purchase DGX Spark on-site with expert hands-on installation of "Lobster"

Crypto World News reports that, according to 1M AI News monitoring, NVIDIA’s GTC 2026 conference will open today in San Jose, California. The event runs from March 16 to 19, with approximately 30,000 attendees from 190 countries. This year, the conference features a dedicated OpenClaw experience area called “Build-a-Claw” at GTC Park, where attendees can customize and deploy persistent AI agents under the guidance of NVIDIA engineers. Participants can name their agents, define personalities, and grant tool access for various scenarios such as calendar management, trip planning, fitness recommendations, and programming. There are three runtime options: using cloud computing provided on-site, bringing their own DGX Spark or GeForce RTX laptops (ensuring no personal data on the devices). DGX Spark can also be purchased at the NVIDIA Gear Store and Micro Center on-site. The event hours are from 1 PM to 5 PM on Monday local time, and from 8 AM to 5 PM Tuesday through Thursday. NVIDIA has also released the OpenClaw Playbook, offering step-by-step instructions for running OpenClaw to build local AI agents on DGX Spark. Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote speech today at 11 AM Pacific Time at the SAP Center, which will be streamed live online for free.
