The TDX 2026 Call for Participation is Now Open

Your TDX 2026 Moment Starts Here: Submit Your Session

By

Every year, TDX brings together the builders—the admins, developers, architects, IT leaders, and Slack pros who aren’t just imagining the future of work; they’re actively shaping it. And TDX 2026 is already on track to be where the technical content gets sharper, the demos go deeper, and the ideas you hear on stage spark real change the moment you’re back at your desk.

Today, your chance to help shape that content officially opens.

The TDX Call for Participation (CFP) is live now and will remain open until February 13, 2026.

Whether you’re architecting with Data 360, leveling up automations, stretching Agentforce into new patterns, or solving the kind of complex business challenges only this community truly appreciates—we want to learn from the work you’re doing. This is your moment to show what’s possible and help others level up through real-world experience.

👥 Who should submit?

If your day-to-day includes building, scaling, optimizing, or implementing anything across the Salesforce Platform, we want to hear from you. This includes product owners, engineers, solution engineers, technical and enterprise architects, admins working deeply in Flow, data, or AI, developers across Platform, Slack, MuleSoft, and beyond—anyone with hands-on technical experience others can learn from.

If you’re solving problems, improving systems, or helping teams use Salesforce more effectively, you’re exactly who this CFP is for.

🎬 Session types

There’s more than one way to motivate and inspire others with your work.

Breakout sessions (40 minutes)

Breakouts are the best fit when your topic needs space to breathe. They’re ideal for deep dives into architecture, integration patterns, and complex implementation stories that benefit from audience interaction. Most speakers plan for around 30 minutes of content and reserve the final 10 minutes for questions, discussion, and connecting with attendees who want to go deeper.

Theater sessions (20 minutes)

Theater sessions are fast, focused, and built for impact. This format shines when you’re demoing a specific product capability, walking through a concise solution pattern, or highlighting a technical insight that lands best when you get straight to the point. While there’s no formal Q&A, presenters typically stay afterward on the show floor to continue the conversation and answer follow-up questions.

🎯 What we’re looking for

Most of this year’s technical content will come directly from the CFP. We’re prioritizing sessions that help practitioners skill up quickly, especially in:

  • Agentforce
  • Data 360
  • Platform (Flow, metadata, Apex, integration patterns)
  • MuleSoft
  • Slack (automation, apps, extensibility)
  • Cross-cloud solutions that tie it all together

This is not the year for high-level overviews. This is the year for real implementation depth.

The strongest submissions tend to include clear technical patterns, hands-on demos or architecture diagrams, honest lessons learned, practical approaches others can adopt, and innovations that push the platform conversation forward. If your solution required a whiteboard, a clever workaround, a late-night insight, or a “wait, hear me out…” moment—that’s a great sign.

💡 Why submit?

Speaking at TDX is an incredible experience, but the impact goes far beyond the stage.

Impact: Your story helps thousands of builders solve real problems.
Growth: Teaching others sharpens your own thinking.
Visibility: TDX is where great technical work gets noticed.
Community: You’ll meet people who share your passion and curiosity.

Sometimes the session you give in April becomes the solution someone needs in August. That ripple effect is real.

📅 Key dates

CFP Opens: December 10
CFP Closes: February 13
Acceptances: Session pre-acceptances will be sent on a rolling basis while the CFP is open, with all final decisions communicated in March.

Submitting early never hurts.

If your session is accepted, we’ll guide you through the session preparation process, which includes coaching, content development support, deck reviews, and rehearsal time.

🔧 Access speaker support and resources

Once your session is accepted, you and any co-presenters will receive an email prompting you to confirm your participation in the Content Portal. This is where you’ll manage your session details and officially commit to presenting at TDX. You’ll also be added to a speakers-only Slack channel—a dedicated space for updates, deck templates, presentation best practices, and the resources you’ll need to deliver a strong session.

All presenters receive a complimentary speaker pass to TDX. If you already purchased a pass, you’ll receive instructions on how to request a refund or transfer it to someone else.

🗓️ Review the submission selection timeline

After you submit a proposal, you’ll be notified of your session’s status in March, 2026. If your session isn’t selected, don’t lose momentum—there are many opportunities to share your expertise at Trailblazer Community Conferences and Trailblazer Community Group meetings throughout the year. Great content always finds a home.

🚀 Ready to start your submission?

Here are prompts to help you shape an idea:

  • What technical challenge did you solve that others regularly struggle with?
  • What pattern, integration, or data architecture do you wish you had learned sooner?
  • What did you learn the hard way?
  • How is your team using Agentforce or Data 360 differently than most?
  • What future-state solution or idea could inspire the community?

If your first reaction is, “I’m not sure anyone else has done it quite like this…”—that’s usually the one to submit.

👉 Submit here

Ready to submit your session? We can’t wait to see what you bring to the community this year. Let’s build content that keeps delivering long after TDX wraps.
