All eyes on the AI enterprise
‘Transforming your company into an AI Enterprise’ is a journey paved with valuable knowledge and resources–it is the Dreamforce 2024 theme, after all.

Between 1K+ breakout sessions, 240+ networking roundtables, 150+workshops and demos, and 50+ visionary keynotes, you’ll leave Dreamforce with the confidence to power your organization’s AI transformation.
With so many opportunities to choose from, we’ve selected a few that should be at the top of your agenda:

Fostering connection in an AI-driven world
Even with all the buzz around AI, nothing compares to the value of human connection. Dreamforce 2024 makes it easy to engage with peers working in the Salesforce ecosystem.
At Dreamforest, the grand entrance to Dreamforce National Park, enjoy the immersive surroundings and hands-on giving back experiences with attendees from the globe. Filled with lots of socially shareable moments, Dreamforest is the perfect backdrop for fun and new conversations that you can foster over the course of three days.
Looking for a more technical angle? Don’t miss the Trailblazer Forest, where you can get into the weeds of innovation with the people making it happen. Engage with fellow Traiblazers, including developers, admins, architects, and IT leaders, for a first-hand look at new products and launches. Stop by booth #19 for the opportunity to speak with Own data experts.
If you’re heading to Dreamforce, you could be gaining more than LinkedIn connections–you could win a new pair of Apple Airpods Max headphones. Simply let us know if you’re attending, and you’ll be entered into the drawing.
