The whole community is coming back together on March 7 and 8 in San Francisco and on Salesforce+ for TrailblazerDX (TDX) ’23! Join us and discover new ways to build success now with Salesforce.
During these two exciting days, we’re blurring the lines between learning and fun by bringing admins, developers, architects, partners, entrepreneurs, and IT leaders together to immerse themselves in a world-class learning experience that explores how to build apps on Customer 360, integrate with MuleSoft, connect with Slack, and power analytics with Tableau.
Excited? You should be! Here we’re sharing everything that’s in store for you at TDX this year, whether you’re attending in person or watching on Salesforce+. We’ve put this handy guide together for you to get the most out of your TDX experience.
The best part of TDX? It’s an opportunity for you to learn, connect, have fun, and give back. It’s the ability to have a quick hallway conversation after a session that was mind-blowingly awesome. It’s the laughter over lunch with newfound friends. It’s the chance to ask speakers and Salesforce experts in person about a question that has you stumped.
Below is just a sneak peek of what TDX ’23 has in store!
Learn: There will be 200+ technical sessions, product demos, expert-led workshops, and hands-on learning—perfect for whether you build with clicks, code, or both. You can also expect 1,000+ certification opportunities!
Connect: 25,000+ Trailblazers will come together online and in person to share best practices, tips and tricks, and more.
Have Fun: Expect community gatherings, fun, and games, plus an epic Trailblazer Celebration party.
Give Back: You’ll even find volunteer opportunities, knowledge sharing, and mentorship. Leave the community a little better than you found it.
Now, let’s get into more of the good stuff. Here are some sessions you can expect to see at TDX ’23.
The biggest things to look out for this year are the TrailblazerDX Main Keynote and True to the Core.
