TrailheaDX is the event of the year for Trailblazers to discover new ways to build apps on Salesforce, go deep with product experts and get sneak peeks at what’s ahead. And this year, our one-of-a-kind learning event is free and going virtual. We’ll be broadcasting live, interactive, expert-led content across 4 channels on June 25th (Pacific Standard Time).

Whether you’re planning to join in live, host a virtual watch party with friends, or tune in after, you’ll find a lot in store for Salesforce Architects at TrailheaDX ’20.

Let’s take a look at what you can look forward to.

Architect Channel

Salesforce Architects build the future of business. At TrailheaDX, the Architect channel is all about what you need to know now to guide your teams and customers through change. We’ll have product and roadmap deep dives. We’ll talk about design patterns and best practices. And we’ll have straightforward conversations with architects across the ecosystem about the ways our work is changing, and what should be top of mind for architects today.

Check out the full Architect channel lineup.

Join Principal Architect Evangelist Marc Braga for an episode focused on Delivering Value Through Crisis. Marc (and some special guests) will take you through the ways architectural work is changing, and how you can help your teams, companies and customers find ways to thrive in difficult times.

I’ll also be hosting a special Ask the Experts episode, focused on everything you need to know about business continuity. I’ll be joined by a panel of leaders from Salesforce and companies across the industry, to get your questions answered live and demystify this essential capability. We’ll talk about how companies and teams are defining a new normal, and what architects are learning along the way. Send your questions, and we’ll get them in front of our panel on June 25th: sforce.co/TDX20ASK.

We’ll also be sharing important resources and sneak peeks with you in the days leading up to TrailheaDX on the blog. (So stay tuned!)

Trailblazing Together and Innovating Through Change

Even before you dive into the Architect channel, join host Sarah Franklin (EVP and GM Platform, Trailhead, & AppExchange) and special guests for the TrailheaDX keynote. It’s more important than ever to be able to innovate fast, scale with confidence, and empower everyone to build on the platform. We’ll show you how the Customer 360 Platform is your key to success in this keynote packed with special guests, Trailblazers, and product announcements you don’t want to miss. Follow along with a Keynote Watch at Home Guide, which will be published on the Salesforce Developers blog just before the broadcast.

Virtual Expo

You can drop into the virtual expo throughout the day to see on-demand demos and explore Salesforce features. The virtual demo floor will be full of content to help you catch up on what’s new with the platform and Salesforce products. You can also explore how we’re supporting sustainability and get the latest on Trailhead and certification. As always, you’ll be able to talk with and get answers straight from product experts. We’ll also have virtual Circles of Success, where you can grab a spot to go deep into best practices and learn from other Trailblazers.

Admin, Developer and Ecosystem Channels

If what we’ve got in store on the Architect channel isn’t enough, you’ll find even more to explore on the Admin, Developer and Community & Ecosystem channels. Below is a brief look at each channel:

Tune into the Admin channel to learn about the latest innovations on the platform in automation, app building, mobile, security, analytics and more, straight from the product managers who built them.

While tuned into the Developer channel, you’ll learn about the low-code and pro-code resources and tools you can use to develop industry-leading enterprise apps, get the latest guidance on how to innovate through change, and see what’s possible with the Customer 360 Platform, straight from Salesforce product managers and engineers.

Tune in to the Community & Ecosystem channel to learn how to drive your company’s digital transformation, develop faster than ever with the Customer 360 Platform, leverage best-in-class apps and solutions from AppExchange, discover new marketable skills, and earn resume-worthy Salesforce credentials with Trailhead.

And More

We’ll wrap up the live broadcast with a True to the Core special session, followed by a Luminary guest. The True to the Core session is your chance to round out TrailheaDX with Salesforce product leaders. Join Bret Taylor (President & Chief Operating Officer), Parker Harris (Co-founder and CTO), Sarah Franklin (EVP and GM Platform, Trailhead, & AppExchange) and Salesforce product managers for this always lively session.
