Have you heard the news? Dreamforce 2022 — primed to be our most impactful Dreamforce ever — will return to San Francisco from September 20 through September 22, bringing the entire Salesforce community home for our 20th anniversary of Dreamforce. Tens of thousands of in-person attendees and millions online, including on Salesforce+, will come together for three full days of learning, connection, fun, and giving back.
If being part of our epic 20th Dreamforce gathering isn’t enough to convince you to join us this September, maybe one of these six reasons to attend Dreamforce 2022 will do the job.
1. The Future of Nonprofits and Education will be at Dreamforce 2022
Nonprofit and education sector experts. Solutions that work. Transform your career and power your purpose. Join us at Dreamforce 2022 to learn how nonprofits of all kinds are building relationships that drive change, optimizing their resources and growing their impact. And on the education side of things, learn how the most innovative minds in the education sector are building future-ready institutions, scaling faculty and staff impact, and creating powerful learner experiences.
It’s all happening at the 20th annual dreamforce. Register now to join us for all the Dreamforce action on the free Salesforce+ platform.
2. An Epic Welcome Party at an Iconic Venue
Dreamforce is here and it’s time to Party for Good and reconnect with fellow trailblazers in person at the Salesforce.org Dreamforce Welcome Party on Monday, September 19 from 7:00-10:00 PM.
It’s all going down at the iconic San Francisco Exploratorium, an award-winning Bay Area landmark that brings together the best of both of our worlds as both a nonprofit organization and an educational institution. It’s like it was meant to be.
We’re not saying that this will be your one and only chance to party in a venue that was voted one of the ten coolest museums in the world by the New York Times, but we’re saying that you should definitely take advantage just in case. So register now to join the Salesforce.org community and our highlight sponsor, AWS, at — dare we say it — the party of the year.
