It's no secret that the Salesforce Trailblazer Community is a force to be reckoned with. With over 2.9M members, it's one of the best places for Salesforce customers to connect with other community members, learn, find inspiration, and blaze trails together.

But do you know about Trailblazer Community Groups? These groups are community-led, and a great way for customers to meet online and in person, to network, share ideas, and learn how to get the most out of Salesforce. Currently, there are:

  • Over 180k Community Group members
  • Over 1k Community Leaders
  • Over 700 Community Groups
  • across 72 countries

Community groups gather year round, and this holiday season was no different. Here are four ways Trailblazers across the globe are celebrating a year's worth of learning with their community groups.
