About this event

Join Friends of Figma Coimbatore for an intensive, half-day community experience as we unpack the biggest announcements from Figma's global conference!

While the main stage was in San Francisco, we are bringing the energy home to Coimbatore on Saturday, July 04, 2026, for a packed, high-impact local edition hosted live at Nithilam Tech. This event is designed to help local product builders, designers, and developers digest the latest innovations in real-time collaboration, AI-powered design, and advanced prototyping.

What’s on the Agenda:

  • Curated Keynote Recaps: A fast-paced screening of the most impactful sessions and product releases from Config 2026, focusing on how Figma is evolving to bridge the gap between design, code, and AI.

  • Featured Speaker Session & Fireside Chat: A deep dive into the shifting paradigm of design craftsmanship when empowered by AI builders and custom tools.

  • Networking & Swag: Connect with fellow builders.

Featured Session: Designing with Leverage: The AI-Empowered Designer

As design tools evolve into intelligent spaces, the practice of design itself is undergoing a paradigm shift. It’s no longer just about moving pixels; it’s about systems thinking, building frameworks that scale, and creating tools that empower others to build.

In this session, we will explore what it truly means to be a designer powered by AI builders and next-generation tools. From custom internal dot-grid tools that allow clients to directly express their ideas, to leveraging AI workflows to handle execution—how do we protect and elevate the core craft?
