Wow!
For us, and all of our great events that you attended, it was “double wow!”It’s hard to come up with one word to describe Dreamforce ’14, but “wow” is about as close as we can get. With over 100,000 attendees, 1,400 sessions, speakers like Hillary Clinton and Tony Robbins and Neil Young, and great entertainment from Bruno Mars and The Beach Boys, it was just amazing all around.
Our Open Lounge was packed for every session all week long (see the session slides here), and there was never a moment without a meeting between professionals who truly see the value in being informed. Even better, the weather was amazing from The Open Lounge’s rooftop patio, and I think we wore out the photo booth.
Our Opening Night Soiree over at Novella was, in our opinion, definitely the top-level event of Dreamforce. The VIP room was packed, while the line to get in stretched out the door the entire night. Good thing we had a DJ violinist to keep the energy high and the dance floor full. The Inny Awards were also a red-carpet-worthy event as well!
Big thanks to our Soiree sponsors: Marketo, ON24, LeanMD, LeanData, Knowledge Tree, and Captora for helping to make the Soiree such a top-notch event.
At our over-sold, packed-to-the-gills VIP Pre-Gala Party, the energy was over the top. Over the bar, the amazing Napa Valley wine flowed at the tasting, while the DJs pumped out the beats to get the crowed jazzed for Bruno Mars. Everyone had a great time, and as we asked attendees how they like it, I think we heard the phrase, “super fun” about a thousand times.
Of course, we also focused on business with our booth at the Dreamforce expo, and had an amazing turnout there as well. Our booth team listened to thousands of great stories from attendees who were looking for ways to better equip and inform their sales and marketing—and other—teams.
And, our sunglasses giveaway was a definite bright spot (ha!) for attendees.
But enough about all of that. What we really want to do is send a big THANK YOU to everyone who attended one of our events, stopped by our booth, or just chatted with us on the Dreamforce floor. We sponsor events like these to help you learn a bit and have some fun, but also so we can meet you, listen to you, and learn from you.
InsideView helps you work, informed. We know that our products rock, but we also know that, to keep them rocking, we need you to help us stay informed as well. We appreciate you stopping by one, or all, of our events, and we hope that you learned something and had some fun in the process.
Again, from the bottom of our very tired, very appreciative post-Dreamforce hearts: Thank You!
