Meta is not pushing through with the annual F8 Developer's Conference this year, with the company announcing that it canceled the festivities for this year. The reason for this is the social media company's focus on its products, specifically the metaverse, which the company has been building before its announcement of its existence.
Meta Cancels the F8 Developer's Conference This Year
SUN VALLEY, IDAHO - JULY 08: CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg walks to lunch following a session at the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on July 08, 2021 in Sun Valley, Idaho. After a year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s most wealthy and powerful businesspeople from the media, finance, and technology worlds will converge at the Sun Valley Resort for the exclusive week-long conference.
The company from Mark Zuckerberg and formerly known as Facebook, announced that it is not holding the F8 Developer's Conference this year for many reasons. The company is focusing itself on many ventures that Facebook started when it first announced its name change to Meta, and it is with the new "chapter of the internet."
Meta said that there will be many opportunities for developers to experience F8, but not through the conference itself. It is with the many offers of the company and their other events that will focus on different initiatives that would not necessarily be about its systems and software but on other products that it brings.

Some reports claim Meta's Oculus Quest 2 VR headset is the top-selling tech wearable for virtual reality and augmented reality in 2021. The report is a massive improvement for Oculus and Meta as it only means that their devices are selling because of their functions and the rise of the metaverse that many people have already familiarized themselves with.
