Figma will bring its Config conference back to San Francisco this summer, adding another major technology event to the city’s 2026 calendar as designers, developers, marketers, and product teams prepare to gather at Moscone Center South. Config 2026 is scheduled for June 23 through June 25 in San Francisco, with both in-person and virtual attendance available. Figma lists in-person tickets at $899 and virtual access as free.
The company bills Config as “Figma’s conference for people who build products.” According to the official event page, this year’s conference is expected to feature more than 75 speakers, more than 50 sessions, and more than 8,000 attendees. Figma says the program will include keynotes, hands-on demos, and deep-dive sessions tied to product design and development, alongside previews of the company’s newest products and features.
That scale has made Config one of the more visible gatherings on the Bay Area conference circuit. While other major events in the region are centered on chips, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise AI systems, Config is aimed at the people and teams shaping how digital products are designed, built, and presented. Figma’s own event materials say the audience includes product designers, product managers, developers, marketers, and others involved in the product development process.
The current speaker preview shows a lineup that extends well beyond Figma itself. Featured names include Holly Herndon, artist at Herndon Dryhurst Studio and co-founder of Spawning; Vicki Tan, staff designer at Pinterest; Danit Peleg, founder of 3D Printed Fashion Lab; Matthew Ström-Awn, founder of mu.design; and Grant Sanderson, creator of the 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel.
Those speakers bring a broader mix of companies, institutions, and creative organizations into the conference. Herndon’s background spans experimental music, machine learning, and artist-focused AI tooling through Spawning, and Figma’s speaker profile notes that she holds a Ph.D. in Computer Music from Stanford. Tan brings product design credentials from Pinterest as well as prior work at Spotify, Headspace, Lyft, and Google. Peleg’s 3D Printed Fashion Lab works at the intersection of AI, fabrication, and on-demand textile production. Ström-Awn’s background includes mu.design, the W3C Design Tokens Community Group, Copilot Money, and Stripe. Sanderson brings one of the most recognizable educational brands in technical media through 3Blue1Brown, along with past work at Khan Academy and lecturing experience at MIT.
That mix gives Config a wider profile than a standard user conference. Pinterest represents a major consumer technology platform. Spawning has become a prominent name in debates around artists and generative AI. Stripe remains one of the most influential product-led software companies in the Bay Area. Khan Academy and MIT add educational and technical credibility, while the W3C connection points to standards work that shapes how design systems and product interfaces evolve on the web.
Figma’s event page suggests the conference will continue to lean on both headline talks and practical sessions. The company says attendees can expect inspiring keynotes, hands-on demos, and deep dives into product design topics, with an emphasis on practical takeaways and new connections. That structure has helped Config develop a role that is part product showcase, part professional conference, and part broader gathering for the design and product community.
The event also fits a larger pattern for San Francisco. The city is already set to host major conferences across AI, enterprise software, cybersecurity, gaming, and developer tools in 2026. Config adds a design- and product-focused event to that mix and reinforces Moscone’s continuing role as one of the Bay Area’s main venues for large technology gatherings.
With more than 75 speakers planned and an early preview that includes names tied to Pinterest, Spawning, 3D Printed Fashion Lab, mu.design, 3Blue1Brown, Stanford, Stripe, Khan Academy, and MIT, Config is shaping up as one of the Bay Area’s more prominent design and product conferences of the year. In San Francisco, it will serve not only as Figma’s annual stage, but also as a meeting point for the wider mix of companies, creators, and technical voices shaping how digital products get made.
