1. Create a plan for Dreamforce

Dreamforce is an enormous conference; careful preparation is critical to maximising your experience.

Start by setting clear objectives: define what you want to achieve, whether expanding your knowledge, networking, exploring new solutions, or all of the above. Prioritise sessions that align with your goals, ensuring a balance between broadening your knowledge and exploring new areas.

Create a personalised schedule by exploring the Dreamforce agenda, highlighting sessions, and adding relevant events to your calendar. Schedule your day effectively, leaving room for breaks, networking opportunities, and exploring the Dreamforce campus. If you attend it live, factor in the time it takes to move between breakout rooms. To help you navigate these vast choices, our Salesforce experts have handpicked the must-attend sessions.  Plan your agenda and leverage our curated list of top picks to ensure you don’t miss out on the most impactful sessions.

2. Engage with the Salesforce community

Dreamforce is more than just a conference; it’s a chance to connect with a diverse community of Salesforce professionals. By fostering relationships and expanding your network, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and establish valuable connections for future collaborations.

Stay connected with the Dreamforce community through social media channels and forums. Engage with speakers, fellow attendees, and Salesforce experts to share ideas, best practices, and success stories.

Utilise social media platforms to engage in conversations, participate in online groups and follow relevant hashtags. First, follow Fluido’s Linkedin page for our event updates or the official Dreamforce Linkedin page. The hashtags for Dreamforce are #DF24, #dreamforce and #dreamforce2024.

3. Explore the Dreamforce campus

Dreamforce is on a sprawling campus encompassing multiple venues, exhibition halls, and immersive experiences. Take the time to explore the campus, visiting the Cloud Expos, product showcases, and interactive demos.

Attend keynote speeches to gain insights into Salesforce’s vision, product roadmaps, and upcoming innovations. Immerse yourself in a wide array of breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, and expert panels that cover various Salesforce products, features, and industry-specific solutions. Truly leverage Dreamforce as a platform for continuous learning!
