But my friend, you need to plan and plan well to make the most of this event. But not to worry, we’ve got your back. In this guide, we’ll make sure to equip you with everything you need before this exciting event. So, without wasting a second, let’s jump right in. In the meanwhile if you want to connect with us, we are right here.
Define Your Dream Goals
First things first! Let us be very clear about what exactly you want to achieve from this very event before you hit the Dreamforce floor running. Whether it’s networking with the who’s who of your industry, learning about the newest Salesforce updates, or finding solutions to your toughest business challenges, make a list. Keep it handy as your Dreamforce navigator. After all, you don’t want to end up like a clueless kid in a candy store.
Schedule like a Pro; Improvise like a Boss:
Dreamforce kind of feels like going to a humongous buffet—all those sessions, workshops, and keynotes are there! So do yourself a favor: scope out the agenda in advance on the website or in the app, then block out those must-attend sessions. Here’s the real trick: leave space for spontaneity. You don’t know which session you may find that will really blow your mind or whom you might run into who transform your career. Be flexible.
Networking as if you mean it, but keeping it real
Okay, let’s be real: Dreamforce is a networking paradise. But, really, it isn’t about how many business cards you collect—though we do have to say, Dreamforce business cards do look sort of sweet. Think about who you really want to connect with before the event and drop them something friendly. Get involved in the networking events buzz and join the social media chatter. Remember, this is all about real connections. So be real, have some fun, and let the conversations go.
Got Questions? Bring ‘Em On!
Got a few questions burning? Good! Attending sessions or speaking with vendors is fine, but having a couple of incisive questions at the ready will turn decent interactions into great ones. Think of a couple of thorny problems you’re facing and what kinds of answers you’ll need to help you get past them. You’ll walk away with insights that really will be game-changing.
Let Business Be Automated
Think about it: the Dreamforce app is almost your event BFF. Use it to track changes in sessions, communicate with fellow attendees, and make sure that nothing falls through the cracks in your agenda. Of course, be sure to bring along your favorite note-taking app to jot down all those “aha” moments. Let tech handle the logistics so that you can really live it.
Take Care of Your MVP: You
Dreamforce is high energy, but you really don’t have to run yourself ragged. Stay hydrated, grab some zzz’s, and take time out when you need to. A little self-care goes a long way in keeping you sharp and ready to take on whatever Dreamforce has in store. So, you can pencil in some downtime like a pro.
The After-Party: Following Up Like a Champ
The event may be over, but the magic doesn’t need to stop there. Take a minute and follow up on those new connections—or at least skim through your notes. Share all your lightbulb moments with key team members out there and turn them into action. Take a minute and write down some of the key takeaways noted and monitor your progress—no other way to keep that Dreamforce momentum going.
Conclusion
One such fantastic event, Dreamforce 2024, is going to be full of learning and networking opportunities, among many others. So, with all that in front of you, make the best use of your time at the event by planning ahead of time and keeping these small tips at the back of your mind. The trick for a successful Dreamforce experience is twofold: a little prep and a little flexibility. Happy planning, and see you all at Dreamforce!
