Figma's biggest annual conference is back — and this year, Chennai watches it together.

Config is where Figma unveils what's next. New features, new workflows, new ways of thinking about design. Every year, it sets the direction for how designers, developers, and product teams build together. And every year, the global design community tunes in to see what's changed.

But watching a conference alone on your laptop isn't the same as experiencing it with your community. That's why Friends of Figma, Chennai is bringing Config 2026 to the city — live, in person, with the people who care about this stuff as much as you do.

Config is Figma's annual design conference — a global stage where industry leaders, product teams, and design pioneers share how they're pushing the boundaries of design and collaboration. From major product announcements to deep dives into real-world workflows, Config is where the design world learns what's next.

In previous years, Config has introduced game-changing features — from Dev Mode and Variables to AI-powered design tools and multi-player collaboration updates. Config 2026 promises to be no different. Whether it's new capabilities in Figma, updates to FigJam, or entirely new ways of working, this is the conference that shapes the tools you use every day.

Why a Watch Party?

A Watch Party isn't just about streaming a conference on a big screen. It's about experiencing it as a community — reacting together when a new feature drops, debating what it means for your workflows, and connecting with people who share your curiosity about design and technology.

At previous Config Watch Parties, we've seen designers discover features they didn't know they needed, developers find new ways to bridge the design-dev gap, and students realize that the tools they're learning in college are being shaped by the very announcements they're watching live. That shared experience — the gasps, the "wait, did you see that?", the impromptu discussions during breaks — is what makes a Watch Party special.

🎨 Swag and surprises — Because no Figma community event is complete without some goodies. Show up early for a chance to grab something special.

Who is this for?

This event is for anyone who cares about design, technology, and the tools that shape how we build digital products. Specifically:

Design professionals — UX designers, UI designers, product designers, visual designers, and design leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve and see what's coming next in Figma.

Developers and engineers — Front-end developers, design engineers, and anyone working at the intersection of design and code. Config has increasingly focused on bridging the design-development gap, and this year will be no different.

Design students — If you're studying design, this is your chance to see what the industry is building toward — and to meet professionals who are already doing the work.

Product managers and founders — Understanding the tools your design team uses helps you make better product decisions. See what's new and how it affects your workflows.

Figma users of all levels — Whether you opened Figma for the first time last week or you've been using it since the beta, there's something here for you. Beginners will discover what's possible. Power users will find new ways to level up.
