The Salesforce World Tour Warmed Up a VERY Snowy Windy City

in Cloud, Events

The Salesforce World Tour warmed up a VERY snowy Windy City! Another stop on the Salesforce World Tour was a huge success because of all of you who attended: great content, awesome demos and a whole lot of energy.

Didn't catch the Chicago Salesforce World Tour? We've got you covered! Check out our highlights, and even better, highlights from our attendees.

Thank you to everyone for an incredible show, where we brought the energy of Dreamforce and the spirit of giving back to Chicago. We love having our customers, partners, MVPs and friends together in one place. And luckily for everyone, the morning started out strong!

A great day to be at the https://t.co/h0Q4cxhnXv World Tour Event! It's a fabulous event! #salesforcetour. pic.twitter.com/4GyboRkLnR

The Salesforce World Tour main keynote with Mike Rosenbaum was preceded by an awesome pre-show with crowd favorite Peter Coffee, Julie Hansen, and special guests. Salesforce always goes all out.

Getting ready to start the #SalesforceTour keynote. Crazy about @salesforce ❤️

#SalesforceTour keynote in the round. Reminds me of Yes at the amphitheater in (maybe) 1977.

Before we continued, everyone took a moment to recognize the dire situation in Belgium, and lended best wishes to those affected.

Thanks @Salesforce for the moment of silence to start the #SalesforceTour - great to see what's most important! pic.twitter.com/YfUt6fXVXD

The audience was brought back to the excitement at hand, enjoying some raucous tunes from Destination Chaos, a band that is part of one of our favorite foundations, Little Kids Rock. And boy did they rock!

What a great way to kick off our #SalesforceTour in Chicago with #DestinationChaos!! These kids are KOA!! #KindOfAwesome

Mr. Rosenbaum highlighted how successful companies are innovating with new technology and connecting with their customers in new ways. The keynote also included major new announcements, customer product demonstrations, and discussions with industry thought leaders on the future of our industry.

The Salesforce World Tour Cloud Expo was the vibrant center of the event. We had Salesforce demo stations with brand new live demos, and, of course, our awesome cloud partners joined in on the fun.

Really love @SteelBrick's scratch off game at the @salesforce Roadshow! And not just because I won a tshirt. #SalesforceTour
