Meanwhile, in Salesforce Land

September 2017

Dreamforce comes ever closer and full conference passes sold out on September 23rd — a mind-boggling 44 days before the event.

Community

The second French Touch Dreamin’ took place on the 14th and Lauren Toyet was Dreamin’ in Paris.

The big community story of September, sneaking in on the 30th, was India Dreamin’ — overtaking Midwest Dreamin’ at it’s first attempt to become the largest Salesforce community event in the world with over 1,400 registrations. My fellow MVP Francis Pindar attended and wrote a post on his experience.

The London Salesforce Developers held a meetup at Accenture covering CPQ and Einstein turning one. The videos should be up in October so I’ll put links into the next update.

René Winkelmeyer posted Using Einstein Platform Services within Force.com — I used René’s wrapper around Einstein Vision for Not Hotdog — Salesforce Einstein Edition so I can vouch for how useful his work in this area is.

The SalesforceDX #DontStopDeploying challenge took place — sadly it’s finished now, but you can still earn the Trailhead badges and learn more about the new Salesforce developer paradigm.

The Salesforce Developer Marketing team broadcast a webinar from Salesforce Tower via Facebook Live on The Developer’s Path into the Salesforce Economy, hosted by Developer Analyst James Governor (monkchips) of Redmonk.

We lost the Chief Love Officer, Koa on 1st.

28 MVPs were added on 18th.

Cloud Excellence Awards on 20th — Brightgen were highly commended in the cloud support category.

Marc Benioff turned 53 on 25th.

Forward Looking Statement

BrightGen’s Winter 18 Release Webinar on 4th October.

Winter 18 hits production orgs 7th/14th weekends.

Dreamforce is just over a month away — 6th November!
