From AI-powered Figma-to-code automation, to pushing code directly back into your design canvas, this event is for anyone who's ever wondered where the boundary between design and engineering is headed (hint: it's blurring fast).

Converting Figma designs into code is one of those tasks that quietly eats hours. Ben shares how Dovetail is using AI to automate the repetitive parts of this workflow, so engineers and designers can spend their time on what actually matters.

What if your IDE could build designs directly into Figma, and you could refine and ship them straight back to code? Oscar will walk us through how Figma is closing the loop, enabling a truly bidirectional design-to-code workflow.
