Is Dreamforce 2025 your first? We’ve got four tips to make your experience unforgettable.

Dreamforce isn’t just another conference — it’s three days where bold innovation, fresh ideas, and the Salesforce community come alive, and there’s nothing quite like experiencing it for the first time. With more than 1,500 sessions, inspiring keynotes, hands-on experiences, and countless networking opportunities, there’s so much to dive into no matter your role or industry. With a little preparation, your first Dreamforce can become a game-changing experience.

As you get ready to join us October 14–16, 2025, at Moscone Center in San Francisco, here are four tips to help you navigate Dreamforce like a seasoned Trailblazer.

1. Build your personalized schedule with Agenda Builder

With so much happening at Dreamforce, you’ll want a plan. Agenda Builder is your go-to tool for creating your customized Dreamforce schedule. 

  • Filter sessions by role, industry, or Salesforce product
  • Save must-see sessions and bookmark others to revisit later 
  • New this year: Reserve your seat at your can’t-miss sessions and hands-on trainings
  • Sync everything to your personal calendar

Pro Tip: Kick off your week at the Dreamforce First-Timers Meetup on Tuesday, October 14, at 8 a.m. PT in Yerba Buena Gardens. It’s the perfect way to meet fellow newcomers and start the week with fresh connections.  

2. Stay organized with the Salesforce Events app

The Salesforce Events app (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play) is your on-the-go guide for Dreamforce. With it, you can:

  • Access your personalized agenda anytime
  • Get session details, speaker info, and live updates 
  • Navigate with Interactive Maps of the Dreamforce campus 
  • Use your headphones to listen to live session audio from your phone
  • Book time with experts and even check meal schedules

Think of it as your all-in-one Dreamforce companion, essential for staying on track during your epic three days. 

3. Make meaningful connections

Networking at Dreamforce goes beyond quick introductions. Some of the best ways to connect include:

  • Ask the Expert sessions for one-on-one product guidance
  • Braindates, where you can join peer-to-peer conversations or start your own topic 
  • Agentforce Consultations, where you’ll design your own AI agent with an expert 
  • Campground demos and Learning Labs for hands-on learning and product deep dives 

Pro Tip: Sync your LinkedIn profile to the QR code on your badge to make in-person networking seamless.

4. Embrace the adventure

The key to a great first Dreamforce is to embrace the adventure and give yourself space to discover unexpected moments.

  • Be open to new connections and spontaneous conversations
  • Explore every corner of campus — you never know what you’ll discover
