If we had to pick one word to describe Dreamforce 2019 it would have to be “epic”. Anyone in the Salesforce community knows that Dreamforce parties provide some of the biggest networking opportunities of the year! With so many insanely cool Salesforce events taking place all week, we were lucky enough to host one of them at Computer Futures HQ – and if we do say so ourselves – it was pretty awesome. Our San Fran office was home to one of Stephanie Herrera’s legendary Salesforce Saturday hangouts that brought together 200 faces from the Salesforce community – but of all the epic Dreamforce parties – this one was something extra special.
Stephanie, Salesforce MVP and VP of Salesforce at Computer Futures, is known in the Salesforce community for many things. But what we love most about her is the way she’s always able to motivate, engage, and educate the Salesforce community. And she invited some extra special VIP guests to form a superstar panel who shared their thoughts on how to build a community:
- David Liu– Founder of SFDC99 – Salesforce Technical Architect, Google
- Ben McCarthy– Founder of Salesforce Ben, Managing Director, EMPAUA
- Gemma Emmett Blezard– Founder of Ladies Be Architects, CEO, Architect Club
- Rakia Finley– Founding Partner, Copper & Vine
- Hector Perez Jr– CRM Strategy and Platform Lead, Amazon Web Services / Founder & Board Member, Merivis
- Sheldon Simmons– Salesforce Consultant, PolSource
