Join us for a LIVE deep-dive session focused on one of the most foundational elements of modern design systems, design tokens.

Unlike our Inspect & Reflect series where we explore how design systems show up inside products, this new series, Design System Focus Areas, zooms in on specific layers of system architecture. Each session will cover a critical area like tokens, theming, accessibility, metrics, documentation, and more.

About the Event

This first session is all about Design Tokens, their role, evolution, tools, and what’s next.

What We'll Explore

1. What Are Design Tokens (Really)?
   Align on what design tokens are and how they serve as the connective tissue between design and code.

2. Who's Doing It Well?
   We'll highlight design systems that are setting the standard when it comes to token implementation—including how they scale across platforms, brands, and themes.

3. Frameworks and Taxonomies
   Discuss common naming conventions, token hierarchy models, and how to approach tokens for scaling, accessibility, and localization.

4. Tools and Workflows
   Learn about popular tools (like Infa Tokens, Style Dictionary, Token Studio, Figma Variables, and more) and how they fit into modern pipelines.

5. The Future of Tokens
   Speculate and ideate together: Where is token infrastructure going? Will AI and automation reshape token management?
