It’s about time for Meta Connect, the company’s annual product launch event. This year, given the company’s major focus on AI and wearables like smart glasses, it seems likely that we’ll see updates from CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his team on those categories. The company has been facing significant scrutiny because of how some users have been covertly recording other people using the glasses, meaning that one of the biggest announcements of the show could be its rumored camera-free pair. Connect has also traditionally been a venue for updates on Meta’s VR hardware and software.

Zuckerberg’s keynote is scheduled to begin at 7PM ET / 4PM PT on Wednesday, September 23rd. Follow along with all of our coverage right here.
