NVIDIA celebrated the arrival of its RTX Spark laptops with retail launch events in six cities on October 16, 2026, including a Berlin gathering where founder and CEO Jensen Huang made a surprise appearance and gave away five personally signed laptops, the company said in a recap published October 17, 2026.
Berlin Celebration at the Festival of Lights
The Berlin event coincided with the Festival of Lights, an annual autumn art festival that transforms the German capital’s landmarks, streets and squares into illuminated canvases. This year’s festival featured RTX Spark-themed lighting on the Berlin TV Tower.
Fans gathered hours ahead of the celebration at XPERION, the gaming venue inside the Saturn store at Alexanderplatz, where attendees went hands-on with RTX Spark laptops from PC makers, exploring gaming experiences, content-creation workflows and local AI capabilities. NVIDIA’s recap noted that even a cosplayer dressed as Geralt waited in line for hands-on time.
Huang greeted the crowd, handed out popcorn and posed for selfies, and gave out five personally signed RTX Spark laptops. According to NVIDIA’s official event invitation, the Berlin celebration ran from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Alexanderplatz 3 with hands-on demos and stage programming featuring creators and developers, and registration was required.
