What is Dreamforce?
It's been coined the most wonderful time of the year by some and
one of the world's largest tech conferences by pretty much everyone.
It's also a big virtual moment because Dreamforce
is now streaming on Salesforce Plus.
So what actually takes place at this iconic event?
What will you actually do there?
Let's get into it.
Now, Dreamforce is Salesforce is most anticipated event of the year.
And with a name like Dreamforce, you know it's the stuff that dreams are made of.
Should we actually start a counter?
Every time I say the word “dream”? No?
Okay, well, how about this?
Yall stick around and we'll tell you at the end of this video.
Anyways, like I was saying, Dreamforce is when the entire Salesforce family
comes together in person and online to learn, connect, give back and have fun.
And it's really not like any other professional
or industry conference you've been to.
It's way more magical than that.
So what do you actually do at Dreamforce?
Well, you can attend all kinds of inspirational talks
and learn how technology can help your business.
You can catch a Grammy worthy musical performance.
You can connect one-on-one with all types of amazing professionals
from different brands doing innovative work.
You can even go head-to-head with your boss in an epic round of miniature golf.
Well, okay, that was one time, but that victory was sweet.
Shout out to Jessica if you're watching. Now, you can do it all
and that is the beauty of Dreamforce.
Every year, the specific topics and special guests change
but here are the four things that you can always expect from Dreamforce.
One, you're going to learn something
It goes without saying
You'll hear the latest announcements and innovations from Salesforce.
I mean, it's the company's biggest event
so you're getting an exclusive
first look into what we have rolling out to help you and your business
face the new challenges like an absolute pro. You see,
we love having this time with you to unlock all of your potential,
Set you up for success, and make sure you and your company
are using the latest tools and tech to wow your customers.
You can also pick up some great tips for building a successful career, company,
and community from a variety of people who've done it themselves.
You can even take Salesforce certification exams and up level
your professional skills, and that's what I call a glow up.
And the speaker lineup is truly incredible.
You'll hear from some of the world's most innovative minds, and not just in tech.
Salesforce has had past Presidents, Olympians,
and actors discussing everything from sustainability to equality.
So you'll leave with a glimpse into the future of business,
tech, and the world like mine officially blown.
Moving on to number two, you're going to connect with others.
Remember when I said that Dreamforce is unlike your typical business conference?
Well, that's because it's more like an epic family reunion.
But not like that one reunion where your uncle made it awkward.
No, this is much better because Dreamforce is
when the entire Salesforce fam gets together-
which reminds me, if you see me this year? Hey, make sure to come and say hi.
Like, I'm friendly, I'm cuddly, like I don't bite,
but we recommend introducing yourself, talking, meeting, and learning from others
while at Dreamforce
because you will definitely meet some incredible people
and become part of the Trailblazer community
because so many of us come from different backgrounds and industries
but are dealing with or have dealt with the same business or career challenges.
Dreamforce is a time where we can all come together,
brainstorm and walk away with clear solutions.
We also get to walk away with all these awesome new relationships,
and for that we give it five high fiving codes on the awesome-o-meter
because that's the official name, and that is what Dreamforce is all about.
All right
at number three, give back to the community.
There's always provocative discussions
with social, economic and environmental impact at Dreamforce.
Sustainability and philanthropy are a huge focus
for the speakers, and one reason why I love being part of the Salesforce family.
And if you watched
our episode of Salesforce Explained that answered What is Salesforce?
Well, then you already know Salesforce is built on trust, customer
success, innovation, equality and sustainability.
And we're committed to acting on these values.
We believe that amazing things happen when we work together to help others
because business really is the greatest platform for change.
So at Dreamforce, you'll get a chance to volunteer
to hear from amazing non-profits and to learn how your company can be
a bigger part of all this positive change all year long.
Together, we can make an impact in our community and help people
who need it most.
And finally, number four, you know, you will have fun.
It may be last, but trust us, it's certainly not the least. Dreamforce,
this is a party like no other and a celebration of community.
It is three days chock full of surprises and fun,
and let me tell you,
Salesforce does not mess around with the special guest performing artists.
I've already seen Stevie Wonder and The Killers perform at two other events.
So who's coming this year?
I feel like I should know that.
Doesn't this hosting gig mean that I get all the gossip?
Anybody?
Well then maybe it's time for a little contract negotiation, hm?
