As a Salesforce Admin we are on the go, nonstop. From meetings to discuss process improvements, to end user training, I know that we will be busy right up to the first day of Dreamforce- So with a little over one month to get all your Dreamforce things in order I wanted to give you a simple three item checklist to help you prepare for Dreamforce.
Did you know there is an entire Trailhead Trail devoted to getting you Dreamforce ready? That’s right! In just 30 minutes you can learn- What is Dreamforce? Dreamforce is the amazing, must-attend annual Salesforce user conference. People gather from all over the world to share ideas, learn new skills, connect, and be inspired. With over 1500 breakout sessions, keynotes from thought leaders, an incredible expo, and a rockin’ gala, Dreamforce is the world’s largest technology conference. Simply put, it’s THE place to be for the Salesforce community.
Whether you are new to Dreamforce or a seasoned pro, the Salesforce community has plenty of resources to help you maximize your time, your packing, and your experience.
This year we have made it even easier for you to find your peers at Dreamforce by setting up groups based on role, industry, and theme. Just click on the Dreamforce tab in the Success community and join a group today!
Now that you are all signed up for sessions (or maybe you still are working on that), connect with Dreamforce presenters on the session feed. Navigate to any session that you are attending or would like to attend and start interacting with the presenters. Find out what topics they will be covering and maybe get a sneak peek at some of their draft slides.
If you are a presenting at Dreamforce, the chatter feed is a great way to connect with attendees early. Find out what questions or topics they are hoping will be covered. In addition, you can share draft versions of slides. But the collaboration doesn’t end there. Use the session chatter feed to collect questions during your presentation and get them answered.

Girl Develop It is a nonprofit organization that exists to provide affordable and judgment-free opportunities for women interested in learning web and software development. Through in-person classes and community support, Girl […]
Dreamforce is unlike any other event you will attend. With over 1800+ sessions, spending time doing a little planning now means you can maximize your experience.

Have you ever needed to implement something in Salesforce that didn’t have a button click solution? I recently helped out some of our #AwesomeAdmins at Salesforce so that a Chatter feature I worked on could be enabled internally. If it helped out admins at Salesforce, maybe it’ll help you too. So let’s walk through it! […]
