It might be my eighth Dreamforce, but each year seems to bring more and more excitement to the experience. For example, I’ll sit next to someone I don’t know at a session and find tons in common. I’ll go to App Bash for the first time. I’ll meet up for happy hour with friends I haven't seen since the last Dreamforce. I’ll meet a partner and learn all about their technology in a Demo Jam. These end up being some of the best moments of any Dreamforce experience — moments that I like to refer to as "appyness," or pure joy.
And if you’re an app fan (like me), then we’ve got thousands of reasons to experience appyness at Dreamforce, including 25+ AppExchange sessions, 8+ Demo Jams, 20,000+ AppExchange swag giveaways, $10,000 in prizes, 20+ Appyness Street Team members, an exciting keynote, and one huge party.
Here's a quick list of where you can find your own appyness at this year's Dreamforce:
Appyness is Trailblazin’ hot sauce
Just as you look for a bottle of hot sauce to give your food a lift, you head to AppExchange to give your business a boost. AppExchange is the Salesforce Store, the smarter way to extend the world’s #1 CRM. We’re bringing the store to life at Dreamforce in the AppExchange Den. You can shop around and check out everything the AppExchange Den has to offer:
Come to the AppExchange Den for your Trailblazin' hot sauce. It's pure appyness, one saucy serving at a time.
Appyness is prizes
It's time for some quick questions and big money — $10,000 in prizes, to be exact. The Appyness Street Team of customers and partners will be all over campus, as well as stationed at lodges (such at the AppExchange Den) to give out $100 to those who answer short, fun questions. To join in:
AppExchange is also tweeting the questions each day of Dreamforce, so those watching online can experience the #appyness, too. (See the full contest rules for details.*)
If you love a challenge (and prizes) then you’ll love Dreamforce Quest. While details are still being finalized, come by the AppExchange Den and you could unlock an Appy plush doll and t-shirt!**
Appyness is giving Appy a new look
If you're lucky enough to get your hands on an Appy doll, be sure to give her a shirt she can call her own. Our featured partners are giving away shirts for Appy in the Expo Hall. Head to their booth and ask to find out how to get one. Here are the partners giving away Appy shirts at their booths:
