At Dreamforce '17, we're celebrating our Trailblazers and their soaring productivity! We've spent years building Salesforce Lightning to be all about driving end-user productivity. In fact, customers who have moved to Lightning are reporting, on average, a 41% lift in productivity. That's huge! So we're adding a bit of magic to the Lightning Zone and Campground. You'll want to check out all of the amazing Lightning activities that we have in store for you, see the hundreds of killer Lightning features that we've rolled out since Dreamforce '16, and get primed on making the move the Lightning. Let's get to it!

Check out the Lightning Zone on the 2nd floor of Moscone West. This year, the theme for the zone is “Lightning Launchpad!” Lightning Launchpad is all about helping our customers take their business to the next level and soar to the highest levels of productivity. We'll have an immersive multi-player digital game where you can soar over a national park and collect simulated Trailhead badges! We'll also have a few Lightning Experience and Communities customization activities in our Lightning Customization area within the zone. You won't want to miss all the learning, fun, Lightning swag, and selfie opportunities at Lightning Launchpad.

OK, now I know what you're thinking. You're already excited about Lightning and want to learn how to make the move. We've got you covered. Over a dozen Lightning Ambassadors will be available at the Lightning Consultation area within Lightning Launchpad to help you plan your move to Lightning and arm you with a plan. Trailblazers who complete a Lightning Consultation will receive a Lightning-branded kite—fun for all ages! Planning to camp out at the Sales or Service Lodge throughout Dreamforce? Not a problem.
