Figma started new Q&A series in their blog. To start, they asked Robyn Kanner 25 quick questions.

At Config 2021, Figma announced six new ways to collaborate and bring you and your teammates together — their 2nd product FigJam, branching (currently in beta to Org accounts), a new mobile app, voice chat, higher user limits, and publishing to the Figma Community for everyone.

Great talk by Jordan Singer, who builds some of the most creative Figma plugins.

Free 2‑day conference with 60 amazing speakers? Yes, please! Registration closes on April 15th.

Config is back on April 21st, 2021! The call for speakers is open through February 21st.

“As we reflect on the many takeaways from the conference, more than anything, we’re reminded how design has the power to bring us together. We’ve curated some of our favorite snippets on creating moments of connection — through the work you do, the products you build, or the way you show up in the community.”

If you’re not sure where to start with the recordings, this blog post introduces two talks: ​“Design systems as a service, not a product” by Declan Talbert, UX Designer at University of the Arts London, and ​“Failing Together” by Figma’s Product Manager Kelsey Whelan and Product Designer Nikolas Klein.

All 22 talks from Config Europe are now available on YouTube. Don’t miss the keynote by Dylan Field and a closing talk by Haraldur Thorleifsson that are not part of the playlist for some reason.

If you didn’t have a chance to watch the full keynote yet, this is a short 6‑minute long video with main highlights.

Curated takeaways from Config Europe on the importance of trust amongst teammates, with clients, and in the broader design community.

More highlights from the conference on how to build trust. ​“Trust is the backbone of an open and inclusive culture, and the right processes — which govern how you design, develop, and work together as a team — can, in turn, result in more open and inclusive products.”

Watch Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, talk about Figma in Europe and demo new design systems features.

Registration is open! The conference is virtual and free, so don’t forget to register by September 10th.

Figma announced that the next Config conference will happen on September 17th, 2020, be completely virtual, and free to attend. Registration opens on August 20th, but right now, they are looking for speakers.

Chieri Wada describes a life-changing experience of attending Figma conference two months ago, then looks at how the same design community came up with creative ways to stay in touch while social distancing. (Seriously, can you believe the conference was only 2.5 months ago?!)
