Meta Connect, Facebook's VR Conference, Will Take Place on October 11

 

 

MetaConnect, the tech giant's annual virtual reality conference, will take place on October 11 this year, the company said on Tuesday. "See you at MetaConnect on October 11," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the event in a Facebook post.

The site for the virtual event teases that people will be able to "discover how the metaverse is being built by many people and why collaboration is key to it all." Metta said it will also take a look at the progress made by the company as well as what lies ahead in the near future.

At last year's event, Zuckerberg revealed his company's new name, Meta, a nod to his focus on building the Metaverse. "This is the next chapter of our work, and, we believe, for the Internet as a whole," Zuckerberg said at the time.

Zuckerberg also teased Project Cambria, the company's next virtual reality headset, which is expected to be more advanced and more expensive. In August, Zuckerberg said the headset would be out in October and that more details would be revealed on the Connect.

The virtual event will be streamed live on Reality Labs' Facebook page on October 11 at 7 a.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT.
