The F8 conference by Facebook is coming soon and it has gotten so big that Fort Mason in San Francisco couldn’t fit all the developers that are expected to attend. As a result, the social media company is instead holding the event at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The two-day conference is set for April 18th and 19th in 2017.
The registration process for the event is not yet open, Tech Crunch reports, but it will follow pretty much the same pattern as previous F8 conferences. The same rules still apply, which means that anyone who plans to attend will need to get familiar with them quick. Otherwise, there won’t be any spots left.
Partners that are chosen by Facebook are already guaranteed seats and for these, the social media site will extend an invitation personally. Everyone else will need to qualify by not only providing a reason for why they should be allowed to attend but also to pay $595 for a ticket.
So, why would participants want to put themselves through so much hassle just to attend the two-day event? For one thing, there will be plenty of keynote speakers to discuss the internet industry and any advancement that are currently happening, which should prove highly educational. Mark Zuckerberg himself is expected to take up a huge amount of time to discuss his plans with Facebook, and that’s just on the first day.
On the second day, speakers will delve deep into the 10-year plan by the social network, highlighting such segments as VR technology as well as worldwide internet connectivity. There will be over 45 sessions discussing Facebook’s various tools and platforms as well, which are geared towards those who want an edge in terms of online marketing.
The second day should prove particularly useful to businesses who want to really connect with customers in addition to the data provided by Facebook’s analytics tool. The tool is meant to incorporate data from multiple sources to make the analysis of customer behavior easier to understand, Venture Beat reports.
