The Developer’s Guide to TrailblazerDX 2024
The Trailblazer community is coming back together on March 6-7, 2024 in San Francisco and on Salesforce+ for TrailblazerDX 2024! Join us to learn the skills you need to build applications for the AI era.
Generative AI is revolutionizing app development, creating the most significant shift and opportunities for developers in decades. With 300+ technical sessions and hands-on workshops over two exciting days, you’ll learn the skills you need to build copilots, the new class of generative AI-powered Salesforce applications, as well as how to leverage the latest platform features, directly from product engineers, architects, and fellow developers.
In addition, you’ll have the chance to get up to speed on Einstein 1, purpose-built for the AI era. TDX ’24 will also feature a can’t-miss lineup of industry leaders at this world-class learning event.
Whether you’re planning to attend in person or watch on Salesforce+ , this handy guide will help you get the most out of your TrailblazerDX experience.
TrailblazerDX Main keynote + True to the Core
Two things you won’t want to miss this year are the TrailblazerDX main show keynote and the True to the Core session.
Every Developer Is an Einstein: The Future of Development Keynote
The Keynote is your opportunity to join Parker Harris, Salesforce Co-Founder and CTO of Slack, and guests to learn how every developer is an Einstein. See how customers are using CRM + AI + Data + Trust to build incredible customer experiences.
If you’ll be attending the event from home, the entire keynote will be live-streamed on Salesforce+ (with American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation available if needed).
True to the Core
Join Parker Harris, product executives, and product managers for a one-of-a-kind question-and-answer forum about our product roadmap. Those attending from home will be able to watch True to the Core live-streamed on Salesforce+ (with ASL interpretation available if needed).
Visit Einstein Lookout to get hands-on with Copilot
Claim your bragging rights by becoming one of the first developers to get hands-on with our newest product, Einstein Copilot! After learning all about how you can use it in the keynote, visit Einstein Lookout to deep-dive into demos of prompts, actions, and more, then get hands-on with the product yourself.
Einstein Lookout is also home to the #AI Arcade (powered by Heroku ), where you’ll solve code challenges with the assistance of an AI companion; Trust Terrain, where you can watch demos on trust and security; and CRM Crest, where you’ll see how Copilot integrates into our most popular Customer 360 apps.
Einstein Lookout is your one-stop shop for all things Copilot, located at the front of the Trailblazer Forest, on the second floor of Moscone West.
Technical sessions for every attendee
We have over 300 in-depth technical sessions lined up for you at TDX ’24 that span the entire Salesforce ecosystem. There are so many great sessions to attend, that some of them will be repeated to ensure that the most popular ones are available more than once. Several sessions will also be recorded to watch on-demand on Salesforce+ .
Here are just some of the highly-anticipated sessions you can expect to see at #TDX24:
There will be 31 breakout sessions, 40 theater sessions, and three deep-dive panels on the code track, with even more AI content in the AI Theater (located in Einstein Lookout) and three repeating sessions back-to-back throughout the event on Einstein Copilot, Prompt Builder, and Data Cloud.
