Meta

Meta’s annual developer conference, Meta Connect, faced a pivotal moment: the event needed to reignite excitement among attendees and the broader tech community while also reinforcing stakeholder confidence in Meta’s leadership in technology and AI. With the stakes high, this was a prime opportunity to showcase Meta’s innovations and signal its vision for the future. To meet this challenge, Meta turned to their trusted production partner, Done+Dusted, to deliver a groundbreaking experience. In collaboration with Jack Morton Worldwide, D+D orchestrated a seamless and visually compelling event that captivated a global audience.

The centerpiece of Meta Connect 2024 was the 90-minute keynote presentation led by Mark Zuckerberg, where advancements in AI, virtual reality, and metaverse technology took center stage. Done+Dusted’s expertise ensured that the keynote not only highlighted product innovations but also conveyed Meta’s visionary messaging through stunning visuals and engaging storytelling. Equally impactful was the 60-minute Developers State of the Union, which provided an in-depth look at tools, frameworks, and platform enhancements designed to inspire and empower developers worldwide. To extend the event’s reach, D+D executed flawless international broadcasts, translating the energy and innovation of the event for a diverse global audience.

The results of Meta Connect 2024 were undeniable. Meta’s stock rose 2% in the days following the event, reflecting renewed investor confidence in the company’s strategy. Attendees and viewers alike praised the event for its ability to deliver both inspiration and insight, solidifying Meta Connect as a benchmark for developer conferences. Through meticulous planning, innovative production, and a shared commitment to excellence, D+D and Meta transformed Connect 2024 to be a global showcase of possibility, setting a new standard for the future of tech events.

Meta Connect 2025 took place on September 17–18, 2025, live from the Meta Museum in Menlo Park, CA. Done+Dusted partnered with Meta to creatively consult and technically deliver the end-to-end production and broadcast of the Connect Keynote, Developer Keynote and Spotlight Conversation Session.  

Our role spanned overseeing scripts, managing graphics and VT packages, set build and scenic, camera plans, building rehearsal and show schedules and coordinating talent.  D+D ensured the event was staged, rehearsed, and broadcast with precision and polish.

The two-day event opened with Mark Zuckerberg’s live demo walk-and-talk, setting the tone for a program that blended authenticity and innovative tech. In a show full of firsts, Meta revealed the Ray-Ban Meta Display, Meta’s first AI glasses with a monocular display, the Meta Neural Band giving audiences a first look at gesture-based control of wearable tech and the Oakley Meta Vanguard.  A fireside chat with James Cameron brought cinematic weight, while the closing moment saw Zuckerberg and Diplo sprinting to the afterparty, capping the Connect Keynote with energy and personality.

In-person audiences totalled 2200 guests across both days, while millions more joined globally across Meta’s channels on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, MetaforDev, Horizon Worlds, Meta X, and internal employee platforms.
