3. Dreamforce seems to be in full gear currently. Can you give us a sneak-peak into your speech at the event? What topics are you mainly looking forward to digressing onto?
I’m not speaking at Dreamforce, however, you should be sure to discover new products and get hands-on with the technology of tomorrow. Attend sessions, workshops, and keynotes, plus hear insights from the experts. Then camp out with thousands of demos and solutions from both Salesforce and partners.
4. What differentiates Dreamforce from other mainstream marketing technology events?
Dreamforce has grown into so much more than a conference — it’s an experience like no other. From inspiring keynotes and sessions to visionary thinking to discovering the future of technology to actually changing the world, it’s a truly empowering four days and an event you won’t want to miss.

Four days of high-energy learning, inspiration, equality, and fun.
From global leaders to entrepreneurs to scientists, every speaker is thought-provoking and every attendee leaves San Francisco a little more inspired. Some of the renowned speakers we have this year include, Barack Obama, Tim Cook, Yo-Yo Ma, Emilia Clarke among many others.
5. What do you think should be the main takeaway from DREAMFORCE apart from bonding and sharing collective ideas of great market minds?
