Connect with us on social

There are tons of opportunities to connect with Desk on social channels. Get excited about a few of the highlights:

• Find the blowfish! We’ll be posting on Desk’s social pages where to find our blowfish, which will be swimming…er…roaming around the Dreamforce campus. Snap a selfie with it and post to Instagram and Twitter using #GoneBlowfishin and/or post to our Facebook Desk page, and you could win an ever-trendy Herschel fanny pack. Also, the first group of people to find the blowfish each day will get a blowfish-shaped flash drive. The secret is that 5 of these drives will have a purple ticket downloaded on them – this means you’re the grand prize winner and get a Herschel backpack stuffed with really nice things!
• The Small & Medium Business Launch Pad: We’ll have an actual rocket ship at the Launch Pad where you can snap your photo inside the porthole. See a live stream of everyone’s pictures in our mission control theater if you use #SMBlastOff.
• #DeskatDF14: Follow Desk on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest info on sessions, contests, parties, the Small & Medium Business Launch Pad, and the Desk demo booth.
