Community events are smaller gatherings and meetups happening around Config. In my opinion, they’re the best way to meet new people as the groups are much smaller, the vibes are more relaxed, and the topics are more focused. I plan to attend a few events below.

I had a hard time planning my Config agenda across 7 tracks and 5 stages, so I made this visual agenda planner in FigJam. It lays out all sessions by day, track, and stage so you can easily spot any conflicts. Copy it from the Community to plan your day individually or as a group. Here are the talks I plan to attend.

Create QR codes for websites, text, Wi-Fi, calls, and messages with custom styles. After generating a custom QR code, click ​“Get QR Code” to add it to your Figma designs.

It’s time to sharpen your Figma skills! Figbruary is an entire month of Figma challenges organized by Vijay Verma. Every day, a new prompt from someone in the Figma community involves designing a UI, drawing an illustration, making a prototype, or creating an animation. Make something fun, share your work, and tag it with #figbruary or #figbruary2025.

Figma Community Forum got a big makeover in January. It’s a great place to ask questions or share your thoughts.
