Dreamforce '16 was incredible! Over 171,000 people, from 83 countries, registered to attend the largest gathering of Customer Trailblazers in San Francisco. We had over 15 million people joining us online, and for the first time, we hosted 125 viewing parties globally! We couldn’t have done any of this without our phenomenal community–Dreamforce couldn’t have happened without YOU.

We delivered 25+ keynotes, 3,300 breakout and theater sessions, and featured world-class speakers: Melinda Gates, Robin Roberts, Tony Robbins, Marc Cuban, Chris Sacca, will.i.am, Shahrzad Rafati, Billie Jean King, Rep. John Lewis, Lilly Ledbetter, the Kelly Brothers, U2 & 20 monastics from Plum Village.

Not to mention our new combined Cloud Expo with 400+ partners, the rocking Salesforce Campground, along with the new Trailhead Zone, Lightning Lookout, Einstein Discovery Center and our Line of Business Lodges, all while raising money for (RED) and the Global Fund to help create the first AIDS-free generation in Africa.

We celebrated you, our Customer Trailblazers, and brought the amazing Trailhead theme to life across the campus.

This year, we delivered the first-ever Fortune CEO Series at Dreamforce with top CEO's including Sir Richard Branson (Virgin Group), Mary Barra (General Motors), Brian Moynihan (Bank of America), Bernard J. Tyson (Kaiser Permanente), Jean-Pascal Tricoire (Schneider Electric), Jeff Dailey (Farmers Insurance) and more, along with the first-ever Forbes Philanthropy Summit and we took the Women & Equality Summit to a whole new level with a broad stance on our core Salesforce value of Equality.

Thank you to all of you, our Customer Trailblazers, for making this Dreamforce so memorable!
