Lisa Su to Attend AMD AI Developer Day in Shanghai on May 19th

On May 9th, AMD China announced that AMD AI Developer Day 2026 will be held in Shanghai on May 19th, with AMD's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Lisa Su, attending the event and delivering a keynote speech.

This is another high-profile appearance by Dr. Lisa Su in the Chinese market recently, and it is also a clear signal sent by AMD to the Chinese developer community amidst the ongoing escalation of global AI chip competition.

The Shanghai Developer Day is expected to focus on the latest software and hardware advancements by AMD in the fields of AI inference, large model training, and edge computing. Analysts believe that Dr. Lisa Su's personal attendance carries significant strategic implications—amidst the ongoing ferment of Nvidia's export restrictions to China, AMD is actively filling the resulting market gap, vying for a share of the computing power procurement from Chinese cloud service providers, major internet companies, and research institutions.

AMD's ROCm open-source software ecosystem and MI series AI accelerator cards have notably accelerated their penetration among Chinese developer groups over the past two years. This Developer Day may become an important window for AMD to further announce localized AI solutions targeting the Chinese market.
