Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference Is Back in a Revamped, Covid-Proof Format

Canceled last year due to the Covid-19 outbreak, Facebook’s annual conference for developers is to make a triumphant comeback on June 2, 2021. With the majority of the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions still in place, this year’s event, which is dubbed F8 Refresh, will feature a revamped – one-day, virtual-only – format. The registration has already been opened, and all interested can sign up.

F8 Refresh is going to be a lower-scale event compared to the usual 5,000+ participants thing. Another major difference to previous years will be that Mark Zuckerberg will not be doing his traditional keynote address. Instead, Konstantinos Papamiltiadis – Facebook’s VP of Platform Partnerships – will deliver the opening presentation and provide insights into some of the new features and tools the platform will be getting this year.
