Virtual TrailheaDX 2020 for Admins

By

Salesforce is bringing a completely reimagined experience to you. TrailheaDX ’20 will be a one-of-a-kind virtual experience that connects makers, builders, doers, and dreamers looking to improve their Salesforce skillset. This year’s event includes exciting new demos, customer testimonials, content episodes featuring the latest technology, Q&A with product experts, awesome networking opportunities, special announcements from Salesforce executives, and an unforgettable broadcast featuring a luminary speaker.

TrailheaDX. It’s new, it’s virtual, it’s live.

We’ll be broadcasting live, interactive, expert-led content across four broadcast channels on June 25, starting at 9 am (PST). Those channels include Admin, Architect, Developer, and Entrepreneur. Tune into the Admin Channel to hear from your favorite product managers, who are excited to share the latest innovations on the platform for #AwesomeAdmins. Together, we’re going to build apps fast, automate with clicks, drive insight through analytics, and go mobile all while delivering security at enterprise scale. Watch the sessions, learn the latest, and queue up your questions for our experts.

You can also check out the virtual expo to explore Salesforce features, what’s new with the platform, our cloud products, how we support sustainability, and, of course, the latest on Trailhead and certifications. You’ll get information and answers straight from some of the people who help create the features and products themselves by interacting directly with them via a Q&A system.

Whether you’re planning to join in live, host a virtual watch party with friends, or tune in after, you’ll find a lot in store for Salesforce Admins at TrailheaDX ’20.

Plan Ahead

We recommend you do some planning using agenda builder before the event to make your experience awesome:

  • Think about your knowledge gaps. Is it Einstein, Commerce Cloud, MuleSoft, or Quip? What products or features are you less than familiar with?
  • What do you need to know? Will you be implementing Communities in the upcoming year or integrating with more systems? If so, look for the Communities segment that will give you best practices and implementation tips.
  • Mix up your segment viewing! At TrailheaDX this year, we have 20-minute segments, ask the expert sessions, demos, and so much more. Make sure you make time to check out each.
