About this event

Got an opinion about design, tech, Figma, the creative or tech industry, or even Wellington itself? This event is your chance to share it. We’ve been inspired (and amused) by Subway Takes with Kareem Rahma (https://www.instagram.com/subwaytakes) and while we won’t have a subway ticket, there will be plenty of lively conversation.. 

Hot Takes is an evening of short, sharp perspectives from our community. Whether it’s something you passionately believe, a playful provocation, a tastefully controversial opinion, or an idea you think the industry needs to hear, we’re here for it.

Hot takes might be about Figma, Design, UX, UI, Product, Content, the creative industry, Wellington, or something else entirely. (Let’s just keep away from sex, politics, or religion.)

You can agree, disagree, debate, or simply listen. The goal isn’t to win; it’s to spark conversation and maybe see something from a new angle.

Expect:
• Big ideas and diverse perspectives
• A supportive, respectful space
• Plenty of time to connect

As always, Friends of Figma Wellington isn’t just about software. Figma is simply part of our shared world. What really matters is the culture, craft, and community around it.

Come curious. Come bold. We can’t wait to hear what you’ve been thinking.
