Config, our annual conference for people who build products, is expanding its footprint in 2025 with two events designed to connect and inspire our global community: a three-day summit in San Francisco and—for the first time—a day-long event in London that brings Config’s collaborative energy to Europe. The action starts May 6, when we kick off the conference at Config Commons, your place to connect with the Config community.

Early bird tickets to Config Global in San Francisco, and Config London are now available. As we shape the lineup for Config 2025 and open our call for speaker proposals, we’ve asked some of our favorite speakers to share which talks left them buzzing. This best-of-the-best list also serves as a rubric for future presenters eyeing the Config stage. Whether you’re mulling over submitting a proposal or simply seeking creative inspiration to revitalize your work—buckle up.

In our series exploring Figma’s brand refresh, we’ve dug into our new visual language and Figma Sans, our new custom typeface. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we’ve used Figma’s latest features to revamp our web design system. Back in 2020, we shared how we built our design system for our website, figma.com. That site had one job: to introduce a new design tool to the world. Fast forward to 2024, and things look pretty different.

Developing a brand refresh means rethinking its very foundations. As we charted an evolution of image, color, pattern, and motion, we treated our typeface as a crucial counterpart—a way to punctuate a heightened visual language. In the first article in our series on Figma’s brand evolution, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our new custom typeface, Figma Sans, designed by Swiss and American type foundry Grilli Type.
