When we set out to pick the most inspiring keynotes from Dreamforce 2017, we had no idea how hard it would be to narrow our list down to only seven.
Across the 4 days and countless sessions that spanned this year’s event, many different inspiring speakers and topics graced our stages. From technology innovation, to equality in the workplace, to real examples of companies changing our world for the better, our attendees and Trailblazers couldn’t help but leave feeling energized and inspired. Speakers like Ashton Kutcher, Jenna Bush Hagear and Barbara Pierce Bush, and Ginny Rometty contributed their unique insights and perspectives on many of the most challenging problems we face today.
Whether you were able to attend Dreamforce or not, these seven keynotes are ones you’ll want to watch (and re-watch) again and again. You can find all of the amazing keynote content from Dreamforce here, but if you only have time to check out a few, we suggest you start with these:
Ashton Kutcher, the co-founder of Thorn, passionately discuss technology’s role in ending child sexual exploitation and trafficking. This is one you don’t want to miss. You expect to be signing up to help after watching this.
A favorite from the Equality Summit, this keynote features acclaimed actress Natalie Portman talking about the future of gender equality in the workplace. You’ll hear why she thinks we need a “boss school for girls” and more.
Another highlight from the Equality Summit, this keynote begins with Salesforce’s Director of Global Equality, Molly Ford, telling her story about why representation matters to her, followed by an inspiring talk with actress Taraji P. Henson about how she’s changing the face of entertainment through powerful leading roles.
The CEO of IBM sits down with Marc Benioff for a big-picture conversation on the future of technology and its impact on business and society. You won’t want to miss their opinions on artificial intelligence and other emerging tech trends
Compassion is becoming a more accepted and important part of our lives — both professionally and personally. This keynote has everything you need to know about compassion, empowerment and activism (and how to integrate these qualities into your own life).
Hear from four disruptive startup CEOs — including Nirav Tolia of Nextdoor, Sallie Krawcheck of Ellevest, Jeff Lawson of Twilio, and Tan Le of Emotiv — who are doing many amazing things, including blazing new trails for how business connect with consumers in innovative ways.
Last, but certainly not least, is Marc Benioff’s opening keynote, all about the Fourth Industrial Revolution. You can’t get the full Dreamforce experience without watching this one, complete with real examples of our leading brands are transforming the future of customer success.
We believe the holidays are a great time to rest and spend time with loved ones. However, it’s always important to keep you mind sharp so you can return to the new year with new ideas and fresh perspectives. So, cozy up with a blanket and some hot cocoa and let these keynotes help you get there.
We’re over halfway done with our “12 Days of Trailblazing” holiday blog series, but it’s never too late to catch up on previous posts you may have missed. You can explore them here:
