It's no secret that Dreamforce is massive. We pack a LOT into four days, with sessions, events, and activities located all across downtown San Francisco. Navigating Dreamforce can feel like a puzzle even for the veterans, but fear not! We're here to help, so let this blog post be your guide...
When people ask, “Where does Dreamforce take place?” many will answer “the Moscone Center.” This is only partly true. Dreamforce takes place in the Moscone convention center but also all over San Francisco, which bring us to our first tip:

Tip 5: Carve out some time to chill at Dreamforest
In the middle of the campus, on Howard Street, is one of the most magical places at Dreamforce — Dreamforest! We’re hosting non-stop fun on Dreamforest all week long, including awesome local bands, opportunities to give back, and a Ho'olau'lea, a Hawaiian culture celebration honoring ancient custom and contemporary sound. Grab a coffee at Base Camp Bistro, reach new heights at the climbing wall, and enjoy some time with the Plum Village monastics. Ready to get educated and give back? Come see stories of people in our community who have experienced homelessness but now, fortunately, have a place to call home.
After the huge success of the past five years of the Dreamforce Music Festival, we are continuing to provide exciting musical entertainment during the conference with 12+ bands taking the stage throughout the week. Check it out from the ground, or head upstairs to the 2nd level viewing deck. Experience amazing bands at the Dreamforest Music Festival, great food, #DFGives activities, Welcome Jamboree, and much more!
Tip 6: Know where to check your coat, where to receive First Aid, and where to find Lost & Found
True Trailblazers are super prepared! Before you embark on your Dreamforce journey, make sure you know where you can check your coat, get help if you're not feeling well, and where to go if you lose something. Here's all the information you'll need:
