F8 Conference Recap
F8 was GR8
But really, the F8 Conference was awesome
Our founder, Micah Johnson, got the opportunity to attend the F8 Conference, April 12th and 13th. If that wasn’t cool enough, he got to go on a full scholarship since we’re part of the FBStart program for mobile app developers.
Facebook let conference participants in on some solid growth advice as well as exciting news about upcoming tools that will make Facebook advertising an even better investment for businesses.
F8 is a conference for Facebook developers, where they learn about new integrations, get the first dibs on product announcements, participate in interactive demos, and get one-on-one help from the Facebook team.

Facebook let conference participants in on some solid growth advice as well as exciting news about upcoming tools that will make Facebook advertising an even better investment for businesses. Expect to see these tools in implementation at GoFanbase very soon, but for now we’ll give you a hint: Live video is where it’s at.
Facebook also mentioned that they’re rolling out chat bots in Facebook Messenger, along with the capability to direct your Facebook ads directly to the chat bots. What does that mean for businesses? Leads from Facebook ads in real time.
We’ll be sharing more about what Micah learned at F8 and the tips Facebook shared in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back!
