Five main themes Figma is digging into this year

1. Design in the details: How are you finessing your files, incorporating integrations, or getting weird with some wild effects? We’re looking for craft tips, new techniques, and best practices for pushing your Figma files to the next level.

2. Future of design systems: From solo practitioners to those working within multi-brand global systems, share your guiding philosophies, frameworks, and any stories you might have from navigating this increasingly complex problem space.

3. Designing for what's next: We’re looking for those who are paving the way through groundbreaking projects, emerging technologies, or fresh perspectives on the future of technology and design. Share your vision for what’s next, and how we can all contribute to it.

4. Development & code: Have you come up with new ways to build on old platforms? Found interesting approaches to automate a process? Made an app more performant? Streamlined the handoff handshake with your design team? Tell us all about it!

5. Build for a WIP world: How do you make progress in an always-in-progress world? We’re looking for stories from product teams about how you’re making work happen. How do you bring your team together and how are you collaborating in the file?
