Facebook F8 2022 Canceled as IFA 2022 Confirmed to Return As an In-Person Event
Apr. 7, 2022Meta Canceled but IFA Didn’t
Meta, via a recentblog post, has revealed that it will skip out on the F8 conference this year, and it isn’t due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reason is for the company to focus on its current core idea: Metaverse. And it doesn’t appear surprising given that the company just rebranded to take ahead the concept of Metaverse.
Jens Heithecker, IFA Executive Director, Executive Vice President Messe Berlin Group, in astatement, said, “Now, though, it’s finally time to ‘get real’ and once again organize a full-size trade show at the grounds of Messe Berlin and in a city that is not only the capital of Europe’s largest consumer market but evolved as a European media hub as well. Many leading global brands have already committed their participation. As of now, we register high demand for the IFA Fitness & Digital Health area and the Home Appliances section.“
Major event grounds are now opening up in Berlin and people will be able to attend these events without the need for showing any COVID-19 vaccination, test, or recovery proof.
