That sounds exciting! Config 2025 is a great opportunity to connect with the Figma community. Since it’s your first time, here are a few quick tips:

  • Prep in advance: Research speakers and sessions you want to attend. Set goals—whether it’s learning, networking, or showcasing your tool like UiChemy.

  • Networking strategy: Be genuine, ask about others’ work, and share your own story briefly. Tools like LinkedIn or even a digital portfolio on your phone help a lot.

  • Maximize value: Join workshops, take notes, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Follow up with people after the event to keep the connection alive.
