V5 Digital shares 20 Fun Facts to Celebrate 20 Years of Dreamforce.
The V5 Digital Team will virtually join Salesforce’s 20th Dreamforce, hosted annually in San Francisco.
V5 Digital is a leading Digital Marketing Agency based in Windhoek, Namibia - serving Customers around the Globe - and proud to be an official Salesforce Partner and Dreamforce follower.
Since its inception in 2003, Dreamforce evolved into far more than just a technology conference. It’s an unparalleled experience that brings together the entire Salesforce community, including partners, customers and fans. From inspiring keynotes, groundbreaking innovation, and the hottest musical performances, Dreamforce leaves attendees feeling inspired and motivated to build the future of technology.
Instead of having to pack our bags and make our way to San Francisco with our 170,000+ closest friends, we experience the magic from the comfort of our couches this year. For the third time in its 20-year history, the event will also be streamed on Salesforce+,
a new streaming service for live experiences and original content series—think Netflix for businesses. From being early adopters of Twitter during #DF08 to making its Salesforce LIVE broadcast debut during #DF10, this has been a decade long vision in the making. You can catch the Dreamforce 2021 highlights here.
