Last Minute Dreamforce Planning? Don’t Forget These 3 Pro Tips!

It’s here. Dreamforce 2023 has arrived and it’s set to be huuuge.?

In fact, it’s so big on every level that it’s easy to get paralysed by choice. With 1500+ speakers, 75+ AI thought leaders, 6+ activations, before you even get to the entertainment (like Foo Fighters at Dreamfest!), it can be hard to know where to start with creating your schedule.

Of course, Dreamforce is all about lining up your personal and professional interests with what’s on offer, so all it takes is a bit of planning to create a schedule that’s unique to you.?

So, here are some last minute tips on how you can get the most out of DF23 whether you’re attending virtually or in person.

PRO TIP 1: GET PERSONAL

It pays to put a bit of time into planning out your three days.?

With so many speakers and sessions to choose from, it can be an event in itself trying to narrow down your selections to a serviceable number.?

Luckily, Salesforce have you covered with their Dreamforce Quiz . In only three questions, you can get personalised recommendations to inform your agenda, with sessions and activities based on your interests, industry, and role.?

PRO TIP 2: DREAMFORCE IN YOUR POCKET

Once you’ve settled on your agenda for the event, make sure you stay abreast of your schedule. If only there was an app to make this easier…

You’re in luck! The Salesforce Event app has been specifically designed for this kind of assignment. It allows you to create and check your schedule, receive personalised recommendations, and keep event updates and other DF23 resources at your fingertips.

PRO TIP 3: GET MINGLING

We all know how powerful face to face conversations are. Dreamforce is also one of the best networking events on the Salesforce calendar, so it’s a great opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and peers old and new.?

But when there are literally tens of thousands of people at an event, you don’t want to leave it to chance — otherwise networking and connecting at Dreamforce can end up a bit like ‘Where’s Wally?’.

Again, thankfully, there’s an app for that! Braindate organises your Dreamforce Meetups so you can organise one-on-one or group Meetups, through topics that interest you.??

ENJOY YOU DREAMFORCE!?

Now that you’re sorted to get the most out of your DF23 experience, don’t forget to enjoy yourself.

And a special mention to make a note in your schedule for Dreamfest on Wednesday night where rock legends Foo Fighters will be playing. From past experience, it pays to get in early as space will be limited!

I’ll be around, so be sure to get in touch if you want to catch up and chat about all things recruitment.?

Also, I’m co-sponsoring the infamous Cloud Crowd event on Monday night at Foleys for our Australia/NZ friends this year. If you’re going too, drop me a message and I'll see you there!
