Meta's annual developers conference will take place today, with the two-day Meta Connect 2025 event starting with a keynote address by Mark Zuckerberg.
Running for almost an hour (based on previous years), the live presentation should be jam packed with new announcements and likely new Meta products too. We might even get an update on Project Orion, which was unveiled last year.
The conference will take place today and tomorrow, with the keynote opening the show. So here's everything you need to know about Meta Connect 2025 and how to watch Zuckerberg's latest announcements live.
When will the Meta Connect 2025 keynote start?
Meta Connect 2024 takes place across 17 - 18 September, with a number of programs for mixed reality developers, industry professionals and enthusiasts alike.
It starts with an opening keynote address by Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, which will take place at a later time in the day than usual. That's bad news for those in the UK and Europe, as the 17:00 PT start time (local to the US West Coast) means it'll be live in the very early morning in those regions.
Here are the times for your location.
- US West Coast: 17:00 PT
- US East Coast: 20:00 ET
- UK: 01:00 BST (18 September)
- Central Europe: 02:00 CEST (18 September)
- India (New Delhi): 05:30 IST (18 September)
- China (Beijing): 08:00 CST (18 September)
- Japan (Tokyo): 09:00 JST (18 September)
- South Korea (Seoul): 09:00 KST (18 September)
- Australia (Sydney): 10:00 AEDT (18 September)
How to watch Meta Connect 2025
Considering its a Meta event, it will stream exclusively on the Facebook Meta Developers page. To find out more and register your interest in watching the livestream, you need to fill in a registration form on the Meta homepage.
However, you will be able to catch up with it on YouTube a day or two after – on the Meta Developers channel there.
What to expect at Meta Connect 2025
There have been rumours in the last couple of months that a new pair of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are on their way, hopefully with some of the improvements added on the recent Oakey Meta HSTN glasses.
That includes longer battery life and a better camera.
We've also seen – thanks to a leak that allegedly came from Meta itself – that display tech could be coming to a pair of Ray-Bans. And there might be new Oakley smart glasses, too.
We're not expecting a new Meta Quest headset, but we might also hear more on Project Orion – the AR glasses Mark Zuckerberg revealed last year. Will there be a consumer version in the works? We hope so.
There's only way to find out – although if you are in the UK and don't fancy follow it live through the night, you can always check back on T3 where we hope to have all the news as it happens.
