“There are networking opportunities galore”

Dreamforce is the largest gathering of the Salesforce community, and it’s your opportunity to make connections and share best practices. Whatever your role, company size or industry, the community is ready to share their knowledge, skills or a Dreamforce lunch with you. These could be potential partners, employers, employees, mentors or simply kindred spirits. Relationships are built morning and night throughout the event. Dreamforce is designed to connect you to people you can learn from, both in the online Dreamforce community prior to the event, and with the many networking events throughout the conference. Between the Welcome Reception, the Dreamforce Gala, the Dreamforce Plaza activities, and many more, you will have so many opportunities to spend time with your peers and learn from their experiences.

The Dreamforce society doesn’t end with the conference. Online and offline communities are created to continue networking opportunities and the sharing of knowledge and information.
