1. Small Business Keynote: The Path to Your Best Business
Head to Moscone West and join our Salesforce Small & Medium Business executives to celebrate small to medium-sized business leaders like yourself who’ve brought their passions to life in unique ways. You’ll hear from trailblazing small businesses like PepTalkHer using Essentials to win and keep more customers, and ZeroCater who’ve scaled their sales, service, and marketing teams with Salesforce. You’ll also be part of a live recording of top-rated podcast “The Journey” by Mission.org, where we’ll discuss how you, too, can get on the path to your best business. Plus, for every attendee that joins us in-person or shares the livestream online, we will donate a meal to someone in need.
