Jensen Huang has been a frequent subject of news coverage, in part due to the success of his company (Nvidia), and in part due to his iconic signature style: cool leather jackets.

This market resolves YES if there is footage of Jensen Huang giving any interview and/or public speaking event (e.g. keynote, presentation, or anything similar) before October 2024 where he is not wearing a leather jacket.
Resolution details
"Speak at a public event" will be very broadly defined. It solely needs to satisfy three simple criteria: (1) planned, (2) Jensen Huang is speaking, and (3) the public can see the footage.
He needs to not be wearing the leather jacket for at least >50% of the footage.
This is forward looking: it only counts if it's after March 22nd.
My definition of "leather jacket" will be broad. I don't know and/or care about subtle differences about what exactly is/isn't a "leather jacket". If it looks anything like the pic above, it counts.
Here are some examples:
GTC Keynote - wears a leather jacket.
2024 SIEPR Economic Summit - wears a leather jacket.
Jim Cramer interview - wears a leather jacket.
"What’s Jensen been cooking?" (March 2020) - not wearing a leather jacket.
Stanford Tech Ventures Program (2008) - not wearing a leather jacket.
All of these videos would count as sufficient footage.

Publicly available video from Narendra Modi's official account (at an official event where Modi is a main speaker, indicating it is planned, rather than impromptu), with an interview of Jensen. Resolves YES?
@HenriThunberg Good catch! And yup @nikki 's video should count as well. I had seen some other events where he took off the jacket as a gag (e.g. swapping with Zuckerberg), and those wouldn't count because it wasn't for >50% of the event, but in both cases it seems like he was dressed for the occasion in different attire. (The suit for Modi surprises me, but tbh I should have guessed he might do a commencement where he couldn't wear the jacket). Resolves YES
I have seen the pic of Jensen & Zuck swapping signature uniforms. AFAIK, it's just a pic, and thus does not satisfy the criteria of (1) planned, and (2) Jensen Huang is speaking. Thus, I don't think it counts, unless there's evidence I haven't seen. The hunt continues 🫡
