Config is Figma’s annual conference where users come together to learn from each other.
This year, it took place virtually nonstop for 24 hours. The agenda of this conference was interesting. There was a great lineup of speakers, opportunities to network with other attendees, space to ask Figma questions, and to connect with people from around the world.

I attended the ADOBE MAX conference and it was truly amazing. Instead of using this conference to listen to talks, I focused on attending workshops that taught me how to utilize ADOBE XD's features to create stunning designs. I learned so much in the span of two days, and it let me experiment with the possibility of what I can create with the XD program.
October 5-9th, 2020
The Springboard RISE Conference was the first design conference I ever attended. It opened up the world of design for me as I was able to attend design talks and network with other design students. There is something about hearing about people's experiences that inspires me.
