Meta Connect 2026

Meta is taking Connect fully virtual again this year. Mark September 23 and 24 on your calendar - that's when the company streams two days of announcements covering AI, its smart glasses lineup, and where VR is headed next. Best part: it's free to watch, no travel or ticket needed.

Day one is built around the keynote everyone waits for. Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stage to walk through Meta's roadmap and share where the company plans to focus next.

Day two is aimed squarely at developers. It opens with a state of the union covering the platforms and tools Meta is opening up, then moves into hands-on technical sessions for people actually building with this stuff.

If you work anywhere near AI, wearables, or immersive tech, this is one of those events worth clearing your calendar for. Since it's a livestream, you can tune in from anywhere - just register ahead of time to get access.
