Meta Connect 2026 is Meta's annual developer and product event, taking place September 23-24 at the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. The event covers Meta's work across virtual and mixed reality, wearables such as smart glasses, the metaverse, and artificial intelligence, and it is where Meta has historically unveiled new Quest headsets, Ray-Ban and other smart-glasses hardware, and updates to its Llama models and Meta AI assistant. Programming includes an evening keynote led by Meta executives followed by developer sessions and hands-on demos aimed at builders working with Meta's Horizon, Reality Labs, and AI platforms. Meta has teased new smart-glasses hardware for the 2026 edition and signaled further AI announcements. The opening keynote is livestreamed to the public, and registration for the livestream is available on Meta's Connect site. Primary audiences include XR and mobile developers, hardware enthusiasts, designers, and technology press tracking Meta's consumer roadmap. The two-day format concentrates major announcements in the keynote before shifting to more technical content for developers on the platform.
