This year at Dreamforce, equality is a prevalent theme. At Salesforce, employee resource groups are an important piece of promoting equality and celebrating diversity within our company. BOLDforce stands for the Black Organization for Leadership and Development at Salesforce. Throughout the year we commit to developing programs to help create education and awareness around diversity and inclusion for our community. Now, we are excited to bring this content to all of Dreamforce.

Here’s our lineup of sessions — be sure to search for them under the “equality” theme in Agenda Builder or click the links below to reserve your seat:

Want an opportunity to network with BOLDforce, while giving back? We are hosting our first Dreamforce Networking and Fundraising Party — and better yet, it’s Prince themed in honor of our late, great legend. All proceeds will be donated to our adopted Oakland school, United for Success Academy, to fund STEM programs and provide opportunities for underrepresented youth.  RSVP to "Purple Dreams" here.
