The London World Tour was the biggest Salesforce event outside of Dreamforce –thanks to the 9,600 attendees! Last Thursday at the ExCeL Centre, Admins brought incredible energy to the Trailhead Zone– from the standing-room-only Admin Theatre to the Ask the Expert booths, Admins were everywhere. Check out the photos of the fun here.
There was also a packed Admin User Group meeting on Tuesday where content for admins, by admins was shared. If you’re in London and haven’t joined the London Admin group on the Success Community, you should. It will be your go-to group for all admin-related questions AND a great community of new friends!
Salesforce Administrators are known to go above and beyond, making a lasting impact both inside and outside of their organizations. Before the keynote, Louise Lockie was awarded the London #AwesomeAdmin award due to her extensive work with an org of 300 users and onboarding 22 offices in 8 countries to Salesforce. Louise is also extremely involved in the local Salesforce community. She regularly speaks at user groups and co-leads the London Salesforce Women in Technology Group. Congrats, Louise!
Salesforce Administrators love to hear from other Admins. For the entire day, the Admin Theatre was bustling with Admins looking to learn from the community. The theatre presentations have been posted and are linked below.

The New Features for Salesforce Admins session was presented by Mike Gerholdt and Gillian Madill and it was top rated. Thank you to all of the awesome Admins who packed the room and especially to those who stood in the back for the whole session!
As Salesforce Admins, we’ve always been trusted with the hard stuff: business process, system integrity, and outcomes the business can rely on. We’re the ones who translate how work should happen into systems that actually make it happen—securely, consistently, and at scale. In 2026, that responsibility isn’t going away. It expands. There’s a difference between […]

As I write this blog to highlight features in the upcoming Spring ’26 release, I’m certainly thinking of warmer times when I can retire my heated jacket, heated scarfs, heated all the things, and the snow pants I wear to walk Mochi while staying warm.
