It’s hard to explain just how big Dreamforce is if you have never been. Salesforce’s annual conference in San Francisco is one of the biggest tech events in the world, and it is truly massive. Over 170k attendees converge on the city for a week, completely occupying San Francisco and the surrounding areas.
Starbucks locations in downtown can have up to 20 minute lines, and taking an Uber all the way to your session? Nah, you might be better off getting out a few blocks away and walking.
Dreamforce consists of over 2,700 sessions and workshops with keynotes delivered by renowned speakers from all walks of life, including business, politics, tech, sports and more! And of course, Dreamforce is the hub for all things Salesforce, making it an essential experience for developers, consultants, admins, customers, app builders and partners.
