Last night Facebook announced that registration for the upcoming F8 event in San Francisco is now opened. The event currently costs $150 at an early bird rate and $50 for students. Here is the schedule that Facebook posted for the event on the F8 registration page:
12:00-2:00PM Registration/Partner Pavilion Open
2:00-3:00PM Keynote by Mark Zuckerberg, Founder/CEO
3:30-4:15PM Breakouts: Set I
4:30-5:15PM Breakouts: Set II
5:15-6:00PM Reception
6:00-6:45PM Breakouts: Set III
7:00-7:45PM Breakouts: Set IV
7:45-8:00PM Closing Remarks
I will be flying out to attend the event as to see what Facebook will be announcing as well as what developers cook up during the hackathon. Facebook announced their platform at last year’s F8 and it is highly expected that Facebook will announce their e-commerce platform as well as potentially release Facebook Connect. If last year’s event was any indication of what will follow, this event could very well be transformative for the social networking industry.
