Following the rebranding of Oculus Connect into Facebook Connect, the line up for their all digital VR/AR industry conference has been unveiled.

Facebook Connect will be a VR and AR digital conference that will take place on September 16th. The event is free for anyone who signs up to watch any of the panels or events.

The conference will feature over 20 talks and panels followed by a special performance by Jaden Smith. It will have both the Keynote Speech and John Carmack Unscripted (two staples of the convention since). Other major panels and talks include:

* Creating Live Performances in Social VR
* Productivity, Super-powered by VR
* Extending Reality with Spark AR
* Developer Super Session
* Diverse Voices: Increasing Diversity and Accessibility in Development

Check out the line up to have an idea of what to expect at Facebook Connect.

The original Oculus Connect was canceled back in March due to COVID-19 pandemic. To have an idea of what to expect, check out my coverage of the Keynote Speech and John Carmack Unscripted during Oculus Connect 6.
