What You Need to Know Before Meta Connect 2022

What is Meta Connect and how do I watch it?

Meta Connect is our annual conference for developers, creators, tech enthusiasts and others who want to hear about our latest efforts to build the future of connection within virtual and augmented reality.  

Anyone can join this free digital event on October 11, 2022 at 10 AM PT. All Meta Connect content will be streamed live and available afterward on the Reality Labs Facebook page. If you have a Meta Quest 2 headset, you can register to attend in VR in Meta Horizon Worlds. Once you’ve registered, look for the Meta Connect program in the Events tab of your Horizon menu inside Meta Horizon Worlds.

What should I expect?

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will open the event with a keynote featuring a number of developers, creators and leaders at Meta. He’ll share updates on the VR developer ecosystem, our progress building toward the metaverse, and Project Cambria, our new high-end VR headset with mixed reality.
