Figma Config is Figma’s flagship design and product conference, bringing together designers, developers, and product teams from around the world.
Figma’s annual conference for people who build products.
That’s the simple version. But it’s usually more than that.
🗓️ June 23–25, 2026
In person. Virtual too.
📍Moscone Center, San Francisco.
At a glance, it’s big. Really big.
Over 75 speakers, 50+ sessions, and 8,000+ attendees moving between talks, hallways, and half-finished conversations that somehow feel important. And often are.
Why do people show up
(or keep coming back)
Config is where you hear what’s next before it becomes obvious. You listen to product builders who are shaping how design, engineering, and product thinking blend together—sometimes neatly, sometimes not.
You’ll see Figma’s newest tools first, yes. But more importantly, you start to understand why they exist and how they might quietly change the way you work.
I think that’s the real value. Not just features, but perspective.
Things feel like they’re shifting, and Config leans into that.
Who you’ll run into
Designers, developers, marketers, product leaders.
Some are well-known. Some are quietly brilliant. Many are just trying to do good work and figure things out, like the rest of us.
You’ll talk to people who think at a systems level, and others who obsess over tiny details (sometimes the same person).
There’s a sense that everyone cares deeply about their craft—even if they disagree on how things should be done.
That mix is kind of the point.
What it feels like
You’ll sit through keynotes that make you rethink familiar products.
You’ll watch live demos and think, oh… that actually changes things.
You’ll dive deep into design topics that don’t yet have clear answers.
And you’ll leave with notes you may not fully understand until weeks later. That happens. It’s normal.
Fresh ideas. Practical takeaways. A few new connections that might turn into something—or might just stay as a good conversation you remember.
Memorable moments from Config 2025
Some talks stick longer than others.
Designing dystopia: the creative vision behind Severance
Jeremy Hindle shared how intentional design choices can quietly shape emotion and narrative.
Redesigning the computer mouse
Corten Singer, alongside Ryan Hudson-Peralta, explored accessibility not as an add-on, but as a starting point.
Expressive design and illustration in Figma Draw
Rogie King, Lauren Budorick, and Tim Van Damme showed how tools can stay powerful without killing personality.
How to make interactive animations with Figma
Carmen Ansio made motion feel less intimidating—and more playful.
The future of the web is paved with shaders
Maxime Heckel reminded everyone that performance and beauty don’t have to compete. Sometimes they collaborate.
From storytelling as a PM to storytelling as a film director
Ebi Atawodi talked about narrative in a way that felt… broader than product.
The wild west of collaborative brand design
Chara and Mike Smith leaned into the messiness of collaboration, not away from it.
The art of not naming your layers
Inga Hampton proved that even the smallest habits can reflect bigger design philosophies.
Figma Config isn’t about having everything figured out.
It’s more about leaving with better questions—and a little momentum.
And honestly, that’s usually enough.
