Hey Students! Figma Config 2022 is here, May 10-11th.

Config is Figma’s annual conference where users come together to learn from each other. It features a great lineup of speakers, opportunities to network with other attendees, space to ask your burning Figma questions, and to connect with people from around the world. This year, it’s 24 hours long. Don’t let the lengthy agenda trick you into guzzling energy drinks, though—it just means that there are more talks to tune in to—no matter where you are in the world. Join for as much as you can, but don’t feel like you have to beat the clock—all talks will be recorded and shared out the week after the conference so you can catch up on what you missed.
