On the 23rd of May, thousands of people from all business backgrounds will gather at ExCeL London to discuss the latest tools and innovations available from Salesforce to get closer to their customers. The event is officially sold out, though you can still register to watch the live stream. 

Since World Tour offers tons of inspirational and useful content and resources for a wide range of small to medium businesses, it’s easy to get lost in all the sessions that the conference has to offer. For those lucky to have a ticket, we’ve got you covered with pre-event prep tips, to can’t-miss sessions - so you can make the most of the day.

 

1. Pre-World Tour Prep

 

Assess your current business challenges

Take a few minutes and think through some of the biggest business challenges you’re facing. Write those down so when you have the chance to sit down with a Solution Engineer during a Small Business Clinic, you'll have a solid starting point and can make the most of your time. You’ll be able to schedule a slot on the day, but if you want to make sure you’ve got a spot, contact your Salesforce Account Manager to book a time that works for you in advance. 

 

Give a Demo a Go

The day will be packed with information about Salesforce innovations and tips on how it can help your business. If you’ve never tried one of our core products like Sales Cloud, Pardot or Service Cloud before, check them out here so you have a reference point and know what questions to ask or what sessions you’d be interested in. If you don’t have time to do a demo, do not worry – we’ll also have demos at the event so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to give our products a go. 

 

Download the Salesforce Events App

Prepare ahead of time and bookmark the sessions you definitely don't want to miss on our event app available for download for Android and Apple phones. The app has tons of information but keep reading to find out the sessions not to miss during this years edition of World Tour. 

 

Prepare for the day ahead

It might sound a bit obvious but worth thinking about what you should bring with you to make the most out of the day worry-free: 

  • Pack your phone charger or an extra power pack to make sure your phone makes it through the day. 
  • Bring your business cards along. There will be tons of other businesses attending, making World Tour a prime space for networking between sessions.
  • A notebook is always helpful for taking down session notes or names of the people you meet during the day, particularly if you want to save the battery on your gadgets.
  • Wear comfy, flat shoes. You’ll be doing lots of walking and exploring throughout the day and nothing puts a downer on a conference like sore soles. 
  • Avoid the conference caffeine jitters by bringing a reusable water bottle with you to use and refill during the day.

 

2. When You’re There
