‘Twas the night before Dreamforce, and all through the San Francisco Bay,
Not a stage light was flickering, no mic on delay,
Epic moments were prepped throughout campus with care,
In hopes that Trailblazers soon would be there!
That anticipation in the air can only mean one thing: Dreamforce is back! Thousands of Trailblazers are coming to San Francisco to learn, build, and celebrate together. Whether it’s your first Dreamforce or a reunion with lifelong friends, consider this your guide to finding your people, making the most of the Community, and celebrating 20 years together.
What’s coming to Dreamforce 2026
There’s a lot to celebrate with the Trailblazer Community at Dreamforce this year:
The Community Cove is 2x bigger: Our home base has doubled in size to give you more room to connect and collaborate.
Luminary Speakers: Hear directly from visionaries, experts, and industry leaders including Parker Harris! Visit the Trailblazer Theater for world-class insights right in the heart of the Community Cove.
20 Years of the Trailblazer Community: We’re celebrating two decades of Trailblazers learning from one another, opening doors for each other, and building this incredible community together. Join us on Howard Street on Tuesday, September 15th from 5-6pm to mark this incredible milestone.
The Community Cove
Located on level 2 of Moscone West, this year’s Community Cove features two dedicated community networking spaces, inspiring sessions at the Trailblazer Theater, hands-on opportunities to give back, and a special chance to share your feedback on an exciting new community announcement. You can also create your personalized Trailblazer Card to collect and connect with peers across campus.
Pro Tip: Use the “Community Speaker” filter in My Agenda to easily discover sessions presented by fellow Trailblazers.

Tips from Trailblazers
Dreamforce days are long, so take care of yourself along the way. But don’t just take it from us, here are Salesforce MVPs’ pro tips for navigating the event:
- “Don’t forget the number one reason to attend an in-person event is the people. Make time in your schedule to stop, network and hang out with other attendees. These connections can be the most impactful and memorable part of the conference.” – Monica Sandberg
- “Make sure to book the hands-on sessions you like ASAP; they are really useful.” – Sally ElGhoul
- “You can’t teleport. Schedule time to walk across the Dreamforce campus in between sessions.” – Becka Miller
- “Sneakers are a must, you are going to get your steps in, and your feet will thank you later.” – Nicole Pomponio
Stay Connected All Year Long
Dreamforce can feel short, but the Trailblazer Community is active all year:
- Local groups: Find Trailblazer Community meetings near you.
- Community-led Conferences: Catch Dreamin’ events near you throughout the year.
- Salesforce Communities for everyone: Expand your network across the entire ecosystem.
Dreamforce may only last a few days, but the connections you make here can last much longer. So lace up those comfortable shoes, zip up your Trailblazer hoodie, leave a little room in your agenda for the unexpected, and come find your people. We’ll see you there!
