Be prepared for TrailheaDX!

TrailheaDX is just around the corner. Take a moment plan for this reimagined experience.

What is TrailheaDX?

Salesforce is bringing TrailheaDX (TDX) to your living room, bedroom, bathroom… they’re bringing it to you, all round the world! TrailheaDX ’20 will be a virtual experience that Trailblazers from every corner of the world can tune in to learn, connect and share. This year, TDX ‘20 includes demos, customer testimonials, latest technology information and releases, Q&A with experts, networking opportunities, exclusive announcements from Salesforce, and a broadcast from a special guest. SO MUCH STUFF?!... How do you plan and prepare?

Sign up!

Signing up to this, now virtual, experience could not be easier. Head over to https://www.salesforce.com/trailheadx/ and click ‘Register now’...

That is it! You’re in! You now are officially part of TDX’20

Whether you are an admin, developer or architect there is something for everyone. This might be the only chance to attend TDX for free, so make the most of it!

Blaze the Trailmix

Salesforce Admins: Get Ready for TrailheaDX '20 #TDX20 Trailmix - https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/users/teamtrailhead/trailmixes/get-ready-for-tdx20-admin - explains the ‘must know’ topics in preparation for the event. From how to sign up to some of the most talked about features which you might expect to hear more about, the Trailmix is a good starting point to get the TDX excitement flowing!

Read the Blogs

Three very interesting and useful blogs/articles to sink your teeth into are the following:

• https://admin.salesforce.com/blog/2020/trailheadx-2020-for-admins
• https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2020/06/trailheadx-20-for-developers.html
• https://medium.com/salesforce-architects/trailheadx-20-for-architects-779d4f795552

These three articles talk about the three main categorisations you can expect to see at TDX. Admon, Developer and Architect. TDX ‘20 will have these categories as channels in which you will find specific topics, experiences and sessions. Find out which each will involve and know where you want to be on the day!

Ask the Experts

Getting involved with the community at any event is all part of the greater experience. Join the TDX ‘20 chatter group where you can submit your questions, ready for the day. Who knows, you may get a spotlight and your question answered live! - https://success.salesforce.com/_ui/core/chatter/groups/GroupProfilePage?g=0F93A000000LpLS 

Create your Agenda!

Last but by far no means least… create your agenda! Head back over to Trailheadx where you will now be able to click on ‘Schedule’. Here you can see EVERYTHING! Now, I am sorry to break it to you, but it’s going to be almost impossible to attend everything… so, where you see a session you think you may want to attend, click the star and add it to your agenda. Add as many as you want! 

When you are done, head over to ‘My Agenda’ and you’ll see everything you have marked. Be sure to check out the two links on the left sidebar. These allow you to add your newly favourited events to your calendar and keep it synced. iCal, Google Cal, Outlook? Salesforce has you covered. On the day, you may join an event and it not be what you expected, if you have marked more than one session for that time slot, you’ll be able to quickly see the other sessions you were interested in and quickly hop to that room without missing too much!

Get Social!

Finally, shout about it. Get onto Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Chatter, hashtag TDX or TDX20 and let the world know what you’re watching and what you’re enjoying!

These events are all about learning and networking but ultimately the best result is to share what you have learnt!

Knowledge is power but knowledge shared is more valuable. Don't conquer others for self gain, inspire others to join you in your quest to learn.
