What started as a 20–100 person dinner during NVIDIA GTC Berlin escalated fast: Microsoft asked to join forces, then NVIDIA jumped in, and the gathering became the unofficial GTC afterparty. The signup list hit 2,000 people against a 500-person venue cap, forcing organizers to take over a brewery directly behind the main venue with only a week to spare. Some attendees flew to Berlin just for the party and the robot demos, and the city government sent people as well.
