Hello! Dreamforce newbie here. I’m arriving early Monday 9/19. Anyone know how early check-in works and if there are any networking events/spaces/whatever taking place early that day? Also welcome any newbie tips (I’m a little intimidated tbh) and events I should check out. I’m in the partnerships space so would love to mingle 😌

Early check ins have opened on Sunday or Monday in the past. They’ve not yet released the locations for reg desks, but the nearby Marriott Marquis, the St Regis, the Hyatt Regency have all had desks in past years

I’m not sure about on-site stuff on Monday, but overall there is ecosystem stuff going on. SFDC themselves have trainings and workshops on Monday, meet and greets, and in the evening there are definitely events. We were informed about these by our Partner Alliance Managers, so not sure where you can find it publicly

A great resource is salesforceben.com/Dreamforce
Look for “Complete Guide to Dreamforce” and “Ultimate Dreamforce Parties and Events”

Have a plan!
Use the sessions calendar (it’s up now!) to pick the things you want to see. Build yourself a schedule and have clear goals, because once you’re there, it becomes much more obscure what is going on at any given time, making it difficult to make decisions on the spot. If you intend on meeting people you already know, it’s best to email them now to ensure you land on their calendar

Lastly, don’t get as drunk as the Salesforce employees

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?
