Our fourth annual TrailheaDX Salesforce Developer Conference brought together Trailblazers from around the world for a celebration of community, inclusion, and equality. The 2-day event was packed with reunions, awesome learning sessions, out-of-this-world speakers, new and familiar faces, and a very special surprise musical guest.

Attendees were also treated to new ways to learn, earn, and connect with Trailhead — not to mention the announcement of groundbreaking new Salesforce technology. (Looking for the accompanying Trailhead badge? We’ve got you.)

But even though TrailheaDX has officially wrapped, there’s no reason for the party to stop. That’s why we’ve compiled this handy list, packed with ways to keep your learning adventure going strong!

1. Quest on with #Trailshred

TrailheaDX rocked! Ready for the encore? Scream hello to our latest quest: Trailshred. Now you can add metal-tastic sound effects to your org while entering to win awesome merch (enter by midnight on August 7, 2019). Righteous!

2. Join a Global Gathering

Experience the best of TrailheaDX! Join your local Trailblazer Community for one of 175+ TrailheaDX Global Gatherings. Learn from the best TrailheaDX and Summer ’19 release content, connect, have fun, and give back together. Find a meeting near you.

3. Create a culture of learning at your company with myTrailhead

The myTrailhead sessions at #TDX19 were buzzing! myTrailhead is a world-leading learning experience platform that enables you to leverage the magic of Trailhead with your own brand and content.

Check out all the details on how you can empower your learners then join the conversation in the myTrailhead Trailblazer Community group.

4. Become Salesforce-certified

So many Trailblazers rocked the certification sessions last week. Now, more than ever, the value of becoming Salesforce-certified is real. And to many employers, certifications are just as desirable as experience.

“Companies that did not return my emails 6 months prior are now chasing me with offers. And my professional network has doubled in size over the past year.” — Amnon Kruvi, MVP and 14x certified

Take the leap and get started (or build!) on your Salesforce certification journey. Check out our credentialing blogs for inspiration and remember to shout out on social via #CertifiedPro so we can celebrate with you.

5. Get active in the Trailblazer Community

6. Take a Trailhead Academy class

8. Help drive change in your community with BAM!

To address the equality gap in education, we call on our #SalesforceOhana to join our BAM learning movement.

To Be A Multiplier, you need to pay it forward by amplifying and empowering those around you–whether it’s your team at work, your book club, your kids in high school, your sports team, or your friends and family.

Just imagine — if you share your Salesforce skills and knowledge with 10 people and they inspire 10 more, and so on and so on, the ripple effect can be epic.

BAM! It’s time to bring education and opportunity to everyone and drive the change you want to see in your community.

9. Customize your own Astro with Trailmoji

With the new and improved Trailmoji app, you can now customize Astro to make them anyone you want them to be. You can even put dancing Astro, Cloudy, or Codey in the room with you!

Create your own adventure — download the app from the iOS App Store or Google Play today.

Done all nine? Great work! Next stop? Dreamforce 2019. We can’t wait to see you there. In the meantime, check out The Trailblazer for all things Trailhead.

Happy Trails!
