Dreamforce isn’t just a tech conference. It’s the Super Bowl of Salesforce. The Oscars of AI. The Coachella of cloud computing. And if you’re heading to San Francisco October 14–16 (or tuning in via Salesforce+), we’ve got your back with the only guide you need.
Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, this year’s Dreamforce is a whole new beast. With Salesforce going all-in on Agentforce and AI, the stakes and opportunities are sky-high. Here’s what you need to know before you touch down in the Bay.
First: What Is Dreamforce?
Dreamforce brings together more than 180,000 Salesforce professionals, customers, developers, architects, marketers, and executives in San Francisco and online. Over three days, attendees can expect 1,000+ sessions, keynotes, workshops, and networking opportunities, plus a few surprise celebrity appearances.
You’ll see real AI in action, learn what’s next for Salesforce, and leave with new ideas, new contacts, and practical tools you can put to work right away.
What’s New This Year?
This year’s Dreamforce is all about putting AI and solutions like Agentforce to work across the business.
Here’s what to watch:

- Real-time data integrated into daily operations
- The next stage of the Agentforce platform and how it’s being used

- Stay near Moscone for easy access and shorter days.
- Check Salesforce’s preferred hotel list when you register.
- Look at Airbnb or hostels if you’re on a budget but still want to stay central.
- Consider staying outside the city and using BART to commute
Wherever you land, book soon. Prices will only climb as October gets closer.
Don’t Forget the Parties
Dreamforce doesn’t end when the sessions do. The evenings are packed with energy, music, and networking.
- Dreamfest – The main event: a massive concert with an A-list performer (past headliners include Metallica, Foo Fighters, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers).
- Pop-up parties are unannounced events and surprise performances that happen throughout the city.
- Partner events like ours are curated gatherings built for real conversations, great food, and meaningful connections.
If you’re coming to Dreamforce, come ready for both the business and the after-hours.
Final Tips from Team Perficient
- Plan ahead. Have a schedule but leave room for spontaneous moments. They’re often the most valuable.
- Pack smart. Bring a backup charger and shoes you can walk in all day.
- Don’t forget the livestream. If you’re tuning in via Salesforce+, you’ll still get high-quality content and key announcements.
