 TAKE THE QUIZ

  Are you a ninja or a novice?

Tip 1: Install the Dreamforce app

The Dreamforce app is your starting point for all things Dreamforce. Check out the latest conference news, find information on Dreamforce sessions, join groups and connect with other attendees via Dreamforce Chatter.  Get the Dreamforce app now from the AppExchange.

Tip 2: Pack you charging cables

A Dreamforce ninja never gets caught without power.  Be sure to pack what you need to keep you smartphone, tablet and laptop going strong.  You lose points for carrying you’re cables in a fanny pack.  Hmmm…actually maybe you get extra points, this guy even has some tape; that could come in handy.

Tip 3: Load up on business cards

Being caught without a business card at Dreamforce is a total fail.  But real Dreamforce ninja’s also have the apps handy that take that messy pile of cards and scan them directly into your phone for easy import back into Salesforce when you get home.  It’s not a myth.  Check out Scan Biz Cards.

Tip 4: Wear your Salesforce best

You can't have Dreamforce swagger without the Salesforce swag. Dreamforce veterans are encouraged to break into the archives and pull out the vintage Dreamforce bags or tees.
