Last year, the F8 conference saw the opening of Facebook’s Messenger as an app platform, with users able to access added functionality such as ordering an Uber without having to leave the app.
Registration is open and tickets cost $595 each for successful applicants, but there are also limited need-based scholarships available to individuals and small companies.
For those unable to attend, you can livestream some sessions. The two-day conference is expected to feature new products and a glimpse into Facebook’s future.
