Top Admin Highlights from Dreamforce 2016

By

It was so great experiencing Dreamforce with all of our #AwesomeAdmins! We wanted to share some of our favorite memories and highlights from our week with you.

Admin Keynote

The Admin Keynote was jam packed with important info for Admins, including awesome demos, product updates, and roadmap details! Whether you watched it or missed it, make sure to catch the recording and digest all the good stuff, no fluff! Check out keynote recording on YouTube.

Admin Meadow

The Admin Meadow was the destination for Admins at Dreamforce. Our area included:

  • Admin Theater: 60 theater sessions, presented for Admins, by Admins.
  • Headshot Studio: Many of you updated your profile with a professional headshot.
  • The Swag wheel was a huge hit. From raccoon tails to water bottles to Admin hoodies, attendees won lots of cool swag while joining the #AwesomeAdmin community online!
  • The #AwesomeAdmin photo booth featured a 1500 pound carved log flume, bringing a bit of nature into the zone!

Automation Station

New this year, we introduced the Automation Station – a place to uplevel your Admin game by learning business analysis skills. Throughout the four days, automation station was open for business. With a different theme each day, Admins learned from the beginning, how to do discovery and understand the business needs, all the way to how to implement complex business processes using Salesforce tools. You can check out the great content from this experience in the Automation Station group on the Success Community.

Admin Track

There were so many great breakout sessions for Admins at #DF16! And we recorded them all! Stay tuned for links to all the recordings on the Dreamforce YouTube page.
