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.

Every admin knows the rule: Test in a sandbox before it breaks in production. Or as the saying goes, measure twice and cut once. When new or updated solutions are released to your users, you want to be able to predict that they will have the experience you intend. This also goes for ensuring that […]
As a Salesforce Admin, you and your business users are probably familiar with back-office processes you would love to automate. Like the vendor onboarding workflow that starts in Salesforce, jumps to email for document collection, touches an ERP nobody has API access to, and ends when someone manually updates a spreadsheet to say it’s done.

In any Salesforce org, security is the sum of thousands of small decisions. From how permissions are assigned to how sharing rules evolve over time, these layers of configuration define how your data stays safe and who gets to see what.
