Salesforce Einstein, one year on

 

At Dreamforce 2016, we launched Salesforce Einstein – a layer of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities embedded across the Salesforce platform. This year, we’ll be sharing some exciting new AI innovations. Just like last year, Einstein will be everywhere at Dreamforce – including in the dedicated Einstein Observatory – giving you every opportunity to learn how Einstein can help make you and your business smarter.

  

Not-for-profits and tech work hand in hand

 

Not only is Dreamforce the world’s biggest tech conference, it’s also the world’s largest tech conference for not-for-profits, with more than 3000 non-profit attendees converging on San Francisco for the four-day event. For those who attend, it’s an opportunity to be inspired by how technology can expand a not-for-profit’s impact and propel its mission.
