Jensen Huang was scheduled to speak at two tech events this week. Then the CEO disclosed he had an affair, and Nvidia’s board opened an investigation.
Ahead of its expected IPO next week, Anthropic is hosting a private CEO forum this week in Montecito. Huang was set to be interviewed by an Anthropic executive on Monday evening, a person familiar with the event told Business Insider. He is no longer expected to attend, according to a second person familiar with the matter.
Anthropic declined to comment.
Huang is also no longer set to speak at the ElevenLabs Summit in NYC later this week, a spokesperson for the AI voice technology startup confirmed to Business Insider.
On Monday, Huang’s name and image disappeared from the speaker list for ElevenLabs’ conference before later reappearing. The Nvidia CEO had been scheduled for a fireside chat with ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski on Wednesday, where the two would have a “conversation on the future of AI.” The agenda now lists a closing keynote from Staniszewski alone.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a Sunday note to staff, Huang said that he had been “unfaithful” to his wife. He apologized to his wife and kids, and said that his Nvidia colleagues deserved better.
“I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence,” Huang wrote.
That same day, Nvidia said that its board of directors opened an investigation into whether Huang had been the target of a “foreign intelligence effort.”
The investigation followed an October report by The New York Times, which said that Megaspeed executive Alice Huang had developed a close relationship with Nvidia’s CEO. US officials believed Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset, the Times reported.
In his memo to staff, Huang said that he intended to cooperate fully with the investigation.
Other speakers at ElevanLabs’ Wednesday conference include several of the AI company’s other executives, as well as leaders from Ramp, McKinsey, and AWS.
Update November 9, 2026 — Added ElevenLabs’ statement confirming Huang is no longer speaking at its conference.
