“Allow toast notifications” enables event pop-up notifications from the GTC organizers.

“Enable chat” allows you to participate in the networking widget, search attendees, and be found by others.

We recommend showing your full name so other attendees can find you. If you enable chat but turn this setting off, only your first name will be displayed. Please note that if you’ve already started a conversation with someone using your full name and then change your settings to show first name only, that change will only take effect for new conversations. Connections with existing conversations will still see your full name.

Open the 1:1 chat session, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the chat window, and click on “Block user.” A warning message will appear where you can click cancel or confirm. The blocked attendee will no longer see you in their connection list. Any attendee who observes or experiences unacceptable behavior or who believes there has been a violation of the  GTC Event Code of Conduct is encouraged to report non-emergency safety and security concerns to gtc_registration@event.nvidia.com.

When you join a session that’s chat-enabled, you’ll see a chat widget pop up with a “Ask the Presenter/ Moderator” button where you can message the presenter or moderator directly 1:1. This feature will be available during the scheduled session +15 minutes after the end of the session.

You might not have notifications turned on. Navigate to the notification bell on the bottom-right corner and select the three ellipses (…) next to Notifications to see your settings. Make sure that the toggle is turned on for notifications.

All sessions are displayed in the time zone that your computer is set to.
