Get Ready to Submit your Dreamforce 2017 Admin Track Proposal!

By

Calling all Salesforce Admins! It’s time to clean off those whiteboards and sharpen your pencils- that’s right it’s Dreamforce brainstorming time. Rather than just springing the news on you — because we know that Admins have busy lives too — we are giving you a quick heads up on our Call for Presentations timeline so you have as much time as possible to start thinking.

On June 1, 2017 we will launch the Call for Presentations for the Admin Track at Dreamforce. The complete submission process will be outlined on June 1, 2017 when it goes live. That will be your chance to submit your idea for a session and possibly be chosen to speak at Dreamforce this year.

What you can start doing right now!

Do you have an idea or topic that Salesforce Admins should learn about at Dreamforce? Now is the time to start perfecting that idea and collaborating with friends on a topic. Think about the topics that you are most knowledgeable about and what type of presentation you would want to give. Maybe you only want to give a short theater presentation, maybe you want to tackle a bigger topic and give a breakout session presentation.

Contact your Salesforce Admin friends. Many presentations are given with a co-presenter, that way each of you can provide a unique perspective. Start brainstorming with them on topics that you could present together.

Let’s look back at 2016…

Last year, we had amazing sessions created by you the Salesforce Admin for the Salesforce Admin. You can view the entire track on here. To get your creative juices flowing we’ve pulled some of the most attended and fun sessions for you to watch.

One of our most attended Advanced Admin sessions was Admins: You can code too.

Steve Molis and Geoffrey Flynn taught Admins about the 8 Reporting Formulas Users Don’t Know to Ask for in one of our Intermediate Admin sessions.

And as Admins, we had a lot of fun in our Effective End User Training for Lighting Experience session.

Look for more details to be announced on June 1, 2017. In the meantime, enjoy the videos and start brainstorming!
