The world’s biggest software conference is back. After a 2-year hiatus, Dreamforce is all set to bring together its global community of trailblazers and Salesforce aficionados for three full days, from September 20 to 22. Being a highly anticipated event in the tech world, it provides a perfect platform for you to exchange ideas, insights, success stories, and updates on the latest product releases and industry innovations. Dreamforce also offers its participants many learning, networking, and philanthropy opportunities. This year’s event is memorable for Salesforce, as it marks the 20th anniversary of the Dreamforce saga. For those who cannot make it in person, there is nothing to fret about. The event will also be streamed free on the Salesforce+ streaming service.

So why be at Dreamforce?       

Get the first glimpse of Next-gen ProductsSalesforce that has been a trendsetter in delivering pioneering products for digital transformation. Salesforce’s Customer 360 is the world’s leading CRM solution that seamlessly integrates every department of an organization, such as marketing, sales, HR, IT, etc., by providing a unified view of the customer data. This allows excellent flexibility for organizations to build digital workflows and accessible information sharing across teams.

Dreamforce events over the past several years have showcased some of the finest products that have come out of Salesforce. Dreamforce 2019, for instance, introduced Customer 360 Truth, which intended to build a single source of truth, and Einstein Voice, for enabling voice support. Dreamforce 2020 saw the introduction of Hyperforce, a complete overhaul of the Salesforce architecture. Dreamforce 2021 announced the integration of Slack into Salesforce, the launch of Health Cloud 2.0 for ensuring the well-being of workforces, and Sustainability Cloud 2.0 for tracking carbon emissions, among others. Mark Benioff – Founder and CEO of Salesforce, also announced that as part of its Salesforce ESG – Net Zero Solutions commitments, the company had already achieved its target and was running on 100% renewable energy.

Although Salesforce hasn’t yet announced the details for the launches this year, they have come up with a lot of exciting features and enhancements as part of the Summer ’22 release

• New and improved data connectors provide access to multiple systems, allowing for gathering better insights and making accurate predictions, thereby aiding decision making
• New Sales Enablement features help to improve upon an organization’s training and enablement experience
• Commerce Cloud has come up with a lot of enhancements targeting the Salesforce B2B and B2C Commerce, Commerce Einstein, Omnichannel Inventory, and Order Management
• The developer experience has also been taken up a notch with new updates to the native components, UI frameworks, Apex language, and APIs, among others.

LTIMindtree has been leveraging the Salesforce platform to provide innovative business solutions to our customers. For example, we worked with a leading medical benefits company to provide a superior patient engagement experience with the help of Salesforce Health Cloud and Community Cloud. This allowed the faculty to get a comprehensive view of all patients and their medical history and helped retain patients. We also developed a next-gen customer portal using the Sales and Community Cloud for one of the world’s top global information providers in the aviation industry. The solution provided an integrated, one-stop source of information with an enhanced user experience, leading to better customer retention and improved collaboration at 98% of airports and all airlines.

Get Inspired by trailblazers, leaders, and achievers

Besides the various keynote, product launches, 1,000+ sessions, and workshops, Dreamforce provides a perfect platform for catching up with fellow trailblazers, meeting new people, exchanging ideas, and learning about emerging technology. You will get to rub shoulders with leaders from global Fortune 500 companies and Salesforce employees and experts. It is an excellent opportunity to ask tough questions directly to the subject matter experts, connect to industry veterans, and rapidly expand one’s professional network. Past speakers include hot-shot personalities such as Barack Obama, Al Gore, Will Smith, Stephen Curry, and David Beckham. Salesforce will be sharing its detailed agenda for Dreamforce 2022 shortly. Stay tuned!

Discover the best version of yourself with a bit of fun and charity

If you are part of the booming software industry, then being part of a Dreamforce event should be on your wish list. Not only does it provide exposure to the best and most renowned brands in the world, but you also get to hear and learn from the elite and visionary speakers in the industry. The event also provides you with a rich hands-on learning experience that can skyrocket your career.

The Dreamforce Bootcamp, which starts three days before the main event, provides expert-led learning and a chance to earn the prestigious Salesforce certification. Surveys found that 86% of the attendees learned something that helped solve business challenges and drive innovation.

Dreamforce also allows bringing out the philanthropist in you. The event enables you to imbibe the qualities of equality, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability. UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, Girl Scouts, Children of Shelters, Bay Area Workforce Development, Oakland Unified School District, and San Francisco Unified School District are some of the organizations that have benefited from this noble initiative.

And if you think Dreamforce is only about work and learning, you are wrong! Dreamforce is a celebration of unity and togetherness. People come together, dine, drink, and have a good time. This year, it is Red-Hot Chili Peppers to blow you away!
