An after-party that’s not a party.
A place to talk after a day of talks.

The best things about conferences are the people you meet, the connections you make, and the relationships you keep.

Join Dan Mall & friends on the final night of Config 2025 at 2-Michelin-starred Lazy Bear for a night of great conversation over incredible food and drink on the last day of Config. You’ll share an intimate room with design freelancers and agency owners from all around the world. The event is limited to 15 people, all hand-picked for an exceptional experience.

Expect a 12-course seasonal tasting menu served to you directly by the chefs themselves that’ll keep the conversation flowing—and the beverages too. Dress nicely (smart casual is just right), bring your appetite and an open mind, and prepare for a wonderful evening that promises to be one of the highlights of your 2025 Config experience.

Lazy Bear is a two-Michelin-starred experience born from underground dinners and built around storytelling, community, and unforgettable food.

Rooted in nostalgia and driven by innovation, Lazy Bear serves a seasonal tasting menu that celebrates the best of California’s bounty—with each course introduced by the chefs themselves.

The incredible chefs at Lazy Bear have prepared a custom experience for Dan Mall & friends as part of our Config festivities.
