The Silicon Gold Rush

In-person attendance for this event is full. Join the in-person waitlist or sign up to watch the livestream.

Are AI chips the new frontier of computing? What happens when the world’s biggest cloud companies stop buying chips and start designing their own?

In this program, we’ll unpack how companies once defined by software are now building custom silicon to run faster, cheaper, and at an unprecedented scale. The resulting competition is influencing global datacenter design and supply chains, marking a major new chapter in the evolution of AI.

What You’ll Experience:

• Demystify AI accelerators: what they are and why they’re so well-suited to modern machine learning workloads.
• Understand how custom silicon changes cloud economics, energy demands, data-center design, and business models.
• Hear directly from builders and insiders who are shaping the future of AI hardware, including Nvidia Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Research Bill Dally, Google Fellow Norm Jouppi, and CHM Fellow and UC Berkeley Pardee Professor of Computer Science Emeritus Dave Patterson.

Note: A concert taking place at Shoreline Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. may impact traffic in the area surrounding CHM. Please plan for possible traffic delays.
