With so much excitement this week leading up to the big event, where do you share and connect about it? Many of you are already on Twitter, so be sure to use #AwesomeAdmin and #DF19 when you tweet about anything Dreamforce related. Additionally, you can like this tweet to subscribe for updates all week long while attending Dreamforce remotely or in person. If you’re not on Twitter yet, now is the perfect time to jump in! It’s an incredible tool to find and connect with #AwesomeAdmins from all over the world, and it’s a fun place to participate in discussion.
Another easy thing to do before arriving in San Francisco, or during Dreamforce if you plan to attend remotely, is to follow the Dreamforce Roll Call and Dreamforce for Admins Trailblazer Community Groups. These online groups at trailblazer.salesforce.com are spaces dedicated to Dreamforce, the Salesforce Community, and #AwesomeAdmins. We love them and use them frequently because they are full of Admins who are ready to help you out, make a new friend, and celebrate all the things that make Admins amazing!
Whether this is your first Dreamforce or you’re a seasoned pro, this tip is a surefire way to get connected: Don’t be afraid to stick around after the session you’re attending (or presenting!) to ask a question or provide answers. Often, this is a great chance to meet and interact with speakers and community members who are your peers. Take this opportunity to discuss any further questions you have IRL, and be sure to exchange information—at least Twitter handles and emails—so you can follow up.
One easy tip for making networking a breeze? Follow the advice of a Dreamforce pro, Admin Evangelist Mike Gerholdt. Over the years, he’s shared many helpful pieces of practical knowledge. For instance, bring business cards, a pen, an extra charge cable and battery pack, and a light snack with you in a small bag or waist pack (don’t bring your backpack unless you really, really need it!). Lending one of the items above to another conference-goer in need is an easy icebreaker for striking up a conversation. You never know who you’ll have a chance to connect with while at Dreamforce, so come prepared and ready to put your best foot forward.
