Meta has officially announced the launch of its first AI-centric conference, LlamaCon, set to take place on April 29. The event will focus on Meta’s open-source artificial intelligence (AI) models and tools, as well as upcoming innovations in the AI space. While the company provided little more than the event date in the announcement, developers can expect a deep dive into Meta’s AI offerings, including the future of its Llama (Large Language Model Meta AI) series and various AI-powered tools designed to support app and product development. LlamaCon promises to be an essential event for developers interested in exploring Meta’s AI ecosystem.
The name “LlamaCon” is a blend of the company’s flagship AI model, Llama, and the term “conference,” hinting at the central focus of the event. Meta plans to use the conference as a platform to showcase the next generation of Llama models and share details about AI agents that developers can integrate into their applications. This marks a key moment for Meta, as the company continues to expand its AI ambitions and seeks to provide developers with the tools to leverage cutting-edge technologies.
Although Meta has yet to disclose more specific details about the event, such as registration information, it is expected to be a hybrid conference. Participants will likely be able to attend either in-person or online, making the event accessible to a global audience. As the event draws closer, more information about the speakers, sessions, and any potential product announcements is anticipated.
LlamaCon will complement Meta’s other major developer event, Meta Connect, which typically occurs later in the year. Meta Connect 2025 will shift focus to advancements in mixed reality, AI glasses, and the metaverse, offering a broader view of the company’s plans across different technologies. Together, these events demonstrate Meta’s commitment to shaping the future of both AI and immersive digital experiences.
