A first look at Config 2025: Two cities, one global community | Figma Blog

Config 2025 expands Figma’s annual product-building conference into a global, two-city event. A three-day conference in San Francisco will offer extensive programming and community spaces, while a new one-day London event will bring Config to Europe. Both events emphasize flexible participation, practical inspiration, and meaningful connections among designers, developers, and product teams.

San Francisco Conference

• Runs May 6–8, beginning with Config Commons on Howard Street near Moscone Center.
• Config Commons will serve as a place to collect badges, meet attendees, and connect with the community.
• Moscone Center will host:
  • More than 75 speakers
  • Over 50 sessions
  • Multi-track programming on May 7 and 8
• Attendees can customize their schedules by combining talks, installations, networking, and collaborative projects.
• Figma is redesigning the venue to encourage more spontaneous conversations and “aha” moments.
• The expanded Maker Space will include a dedicated stage for Figma community leaders to present their work.
• Multiple badge check-in locations will be available at partner hotels and Config Commons.
• In-person and virtual registration options are offered.

London’s First Config Event

• Takes place May 14 at ExCeL London.
• The day-long program includes more than 15 speakers across 10 sessions.
• In-person tickets have sold out, but virtual registration remains available.
• London was selected because of its strong design history and growing technology community.
• The event follows Config’s successful community connection in Singapore and extends the conference’s collaborative format to Europe.

A More Connected Global Community

• Figma’s goal is to make Config accessible to product-building communities on both sides of the Atlantic.
• The two locations combine large-scale programming with spaces designed for networking, experimentation, and peer learning.
• The conference format prioritizes attendee choice rather than requiring participants to follow a single schedule.

Config 2025 is positioned as both a conference and a community experience. Those attending in person can expect a more interactive venue design, while virtual attendees can participate remotely from either city’s program.
