NVIDIA GTC is the world’s #1 AI conference, and this year, we’re making it a win-win for your entire team. We are giving away an NVIDIA RTX 5090 to the organisation that shows up in force.

The best part? Virtual attendance is 100% free, and you'll get access to over 900 sessions on AI, Robotics, and Graphics.

### **The Rules of the Game**

**1\.** Use Your **Work Email:** To ensure your points are counted toward your **organisation’s total**, you must register for GTC using your official company email address (e.g., name@company.com).

**2\. Watch to Win:** Every virtual session watched by a member of your organization earns your team points. To ensure your participation counts, simply tune in for at least **10 minutes** of any session. The organization with the highest total attendance by the end of the challenge wins!

**3\. Win an Individual Deep Learning Institute (DLI) Voucher :** After watching a session, post your personal highlights on LinkedIn and mention **@cognitivo**. We’re giving away 10 vouchers to the creators of the most insightful posts. Show us what you learned!

**4\. Deadline**: Competition officially closes at **5:00pm AEDT on March 27th.**

**5\. On-Demand Scoring:** Can’t make a live session? No problem.

**In-Person Sessions:** Exclusive sessions (like those from Canva or Atlassian) will be available on-demand 72 hours after they first air.

**Pro-Tip:** Watching these on-demand recordings before the March 27th deadline still counts toward your organisation’s total score.

**Free Hardware:** One organisation will walk away with the most powerful GPU ever built.

**Zero Cost:** Virtual attendance is 100% free.
