Gleb Sabirzyanov on his experience of speaking at Config 2021.

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.

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.

“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.

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?!)

A little glimpse into what Config was like from Femke.

In this short video, two Principal Analysts from Forrester Research discuss their takeaways and impressions from the conference.

Elsma Ramirez from SoFi shares her notes from the conference and highlights talks and speakers that inspired her the most. Her favorites: ​“Welcome to a new decade of design” by Dylan Field, ​“The city guide to open source” by Devon Zuegel from GitHub, and ​“Design System Showcase”.

One young designer, three amazing conferences. Great writeup by Michelle Chiu from MongoDB.
