2. We sat under the stars of innovation to learn about how Northern Trust is blazing trails at the IT Observatory

Attendees sat under the stars in our IT Observatory to learn about how Northern Trust builds a better advisor and customer experience on the Salesforce Platform. Live on stage, the presenters and audience created a live wealth manager onboarding and second customer community app in under 10 minutes with clicks not code. The encore gave the wealth management team responsive superpowers with code by feeding stock data into Salesforce, creating real-time goal and portfolio monitoring, and automating wealth management team processes.

3. Got inspired by the Trailblazers who make IT fun again

We were lucky to interview over 40 amazing Trailblazers on the Salesforce Platform during Dreamforce this year. From fun gifs to a couple interview questions, they were able to have it all. Keep an eye out for our Trailblazer Spotlights coming soon!

4. Learned from Ducati connected bike demos at the Campground

Our Salesforce Platform area in the Campground was full of product demos and theater sessions that piqued all interests. Demos with Ducati displayed the full range of the Platform, even featuring Einstein Vision to identify what kind of glove!

5. Escaped from Codey’s Secret Cabin with a honey-tracking app

Codey’s Secret Cabin escape room was a success! The mission was to help Codey build a honey-tracking app and deliver honey to Earnie Badger on time in under 10 minutes. We had everyone from friends to coworkers to strangers all working together.

6. Build an app (even if know zero coding!) at Camp Innovation

At Camp Innovation, attendees identified real business problems, brainstormed, and built the apps. These Trailblazers built real apps to bring back to their companies! Who knew you would come to Dreamforce not only to learn, but also to get work done?

7. Explored the IoT Smart City at the IoT Grove

Those at Dreamforce got to experience two cities: San Francisco and the IoT Smart City. Powered by myIoT, the IoT Smart City was a mini metropolis featuring eight different demos. A fantastic six-foot Lego Salesforce Tower served as the centerpiece to the whole city. Check out the video to learn about a couple IoT use cases displayed in the Smart City.

8. We Built an App in 5 Minutes on Salesforce Live
