THE TALKS
Accelerating Development: From Design Files to Production Ready Code
Speaker: Akbar Mirza - Developer Advocate, Figma
Get an inside look at how Figma is streamlining the handoff between design & development. Akbar will demo Dev Mode in action & share practical workflows for using annotations, sections & "ready for dev" conventions, plus how integrations like Jira keep designers & engineers aligned from first mock to shipped feature.
Design x Development in the Age of AI
Panel:
Nishtha Dalal - Product Design Leader
Ryan Leffel - Ambassador, UXDX
Tanesha Smith Wattley - Head of Product & Delivery, Very Good Ventures
Design cycles are speeding up & AI is reshaping how product teams work together. This conversation digs into how roles are shifting, where friction still appears between design & engineering & how AI can act as a bridge rather than a wedge. You will leave with concrete ways to align earlier, collaborate through uncertainty & keep delivery smooth while expectations rise.
