Facebook is holding a special event this afternoon at its office in New York City. The event is a little strange, in that Facebook only sent invites out this morning which may be because it will feature U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The event will also include Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and VP of Engineering Mike Schroepfer.Facebook hasn't given any indication as to what to expect, but I'm guessing it has something to do with expanding its presence in New York, particularly around engineering given Schroepfer's attendance. Its current NYC office has a handful of engineers, but is dominated by employees on the sales side. I'll be updating this post as the event unfolds. You can also watch the event right hereUpdate: Yep, Facebook is indeed opening an engineering-focused office early next year, to be headed by long-time Facebook engineer Serkan Piantino. The company isn't saying how many engineers it will be hiring, but that it will take all the top talent it can get. This is major news for both the company and the NYC tech scene. See my live notes from the event below.2:20 PM EST Sandberg has stepped up to the podium to discuss the importance of opening up an office in NYC, and why engineering how been so important to the company.
