Layers is our very own regional conference organized by the Friends of Figma, Portugal chapter of the official Figma communities, and the first ever official Friends of Figma conference, running since 2023.It's a free, full day, hybrid conference with talks from a mix of members of the Community and some guests.As conference led by the community, for the community, our stage has hosted 25+ speakers from companies like Figma, OutSystems, Miro, Shopify, Volvo and many others that were eager to share their knowledge, and their time with the Portugal and online audience, averaging 1200 attendees each edition, including 250 in-person in Lisbon back in 2024.

Friends of Figma (FoF) are the official Figma community groups, and we exist so our creator community can come together and learn. It’s a project run by the community, for the community, and everyone is welcome. In Portugal we have existed since 2020, and we've been running 20+ events per year, totally free for all levels of designers across the country. From Lisbon, to Porto, Coimbra, Aveiro and even Faro, FoF Portugal leads meetups, workshops, livestreams and even the occasional happy hour.

This year Layers is happening both online and in-person in Porto. On October 9 we gather online with a lineup full of amazing guest and community speakers form all around the world. And on October 10 we meet at the Porto Office Park home to our partners at ebankIT, to gather a smaller block of the community for a more cozy and intimate set of sessions, where content is just a small partner part of the moment.
