● NVISION，一切的起点
GTC大会最开始的样子和今天并不相同，它最初的形态是一个包罗万象的大型LAN Party，这个LAN Party就是NVIDIA曾经举办的规模最大的玩家聚会——NVISION 08。
NVISION 08
美国旧金山时间2008年8月25日至27日，NVIDIA将在美国加州圣何塞举办以“The World of Visual Computing”为主题的大型活动：NVISION 08，NVIDIA在此次活动当中不仅将向全世界展示NVIDIA的最新技术，向合作伙伴展示了应用NVIDIA GPU技术的各种成果，还在网友互动上推出大型Lan Party——GeForce Lan。

NVISION 08形成了许多日后GTC大会的基本特征——开幕式上黄仁勋先生带着浓厚爆料风格的keynote、最新视觉技术与应用的集中展现、持续两天以上的大量殿堂级GPU技术大师参与的针对性技术讨论和分享、还有图形相关业界厂商彼此之间的交换展示，这些特征均在08年的夏天凝固并延续至今，并直接促成了那次大会的成功。NVISION 08的成绩和反响坚定了NVIDIA持续举办更有针对性的大型技术聚会的信心，在那之后，NVIDIA将LAN Party内容剥离成了独立的玩家互动大会GeForce LAN，被“纯化”的技术分享及展示部分，则演变成了我们所熟知的GTC大会。
