This year's Dreamforce will be a truly remarkable event for B2B and B2C commerce attendees. Whether you're an existing customer looking to optimize your site for faster growth or just getting on board with us and hoping to learn the basics, we've got a range of exciting activities planned.

Commerce Cloud is now in its third year at Dreamforce, and through the recent CloudCraze acquisition, brings together B2C and B2B Commerce as part of the world's #1 CRM. Dreamforce attendees can learn all about how we're streamlining intelligent purchase experiences for both shoppers and business buyers. 

So that you won't miss a thing, we've pulled together a quick guide for an amazing four days of inspiration and learning across all of the new innovations Salesforce and Commerce Cloud now have to offer. 

Discover Intelligent Shopping Journeys and Smart B2B Commerce
This year, you'll see expanded capabilities and innovation around unified, intelligent buying experiences. With B2B Commerce features, teams can better manage seamless handoffs between B2B and B2C, and across marketing, sales and service teams. Artificial intelligence with Einstein helps connect the dots on what shoppers want to inform B2B purchasing.
