What is CenCal Dreamin’?

This inaugural event is being created to establish a Salesforce User Community in Central California. There are currently events held in Northern California and Southern California but nothing that targets the users between Sacramento and Bakersfield.

Who Should Attend?

Is your organization using Salesforce? Are you an Executive or Manager interested in ways to make Salesforce more effective or increase user adoption within your organization? CenCal Dreamin’ is for you.

Are you the Salesforce Admin (or perhaps the “accidental admin”) and want to learn more about customizing Salesforce so that it better fits the needs of your organization? CenCal Dreamin’ is for you.

Are you interested in specific Salesforce products such as CPQ or Email Automation? CenCal Dreamin’ is for you.

What’s Included?

Registered attendees will select from one of four offered tracks — Executive/Manager, Admin (Beg), Admin (Int/Adv) or Specialty — and attend topic-specific Breakout Sessions that will directly address areas of interest to your role in your organization. Each track will include three breakout sessions. Coffee will be offered throughout the day and registered attendees will enjoy a full lunch, afternoon snack and a happy hour to network and celebrate all that we will learn.
