LRZ goes TPC26
The annual conference of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, TPC26, brings together leading AI experts from around the world to accelerate progress in the field of artificial intelligence and tackle the major scientific and technical challenges of our time in a responsible and safe manner.
To better connect the European AI community, EuroTPC – the European TPC spin-off – is organising a dedicated satellite event in Garching on 2 June 2026, featuring a comprehensive live programme and excellent networking opportunities:
- Join Prof. Dieter Kranzlmüller’s live keynote and learn more about the planned Blue Swan AI Gigafactory.
- Get to know the EuroTPC project first-hand and find out how it will help European organisations and industry to become more involved in TPC activities.
- Make contacts and exchange ideas over a shared lunch and during the coffee breaks.
Come for the content, stay for the community! Be part of a dynamic and connected TPC26 experience in Europe.
