Salesforce is hosting its annual extravaganza, Dreamforce. From November 19th-22nd, attendees will receive invaluable insights, updates on the latest technology, and networking opportunities that feel more like meeting up old friends. Here are the sessions we're most excited for.
Tuesday, November 21, 11 AM - 11:20AM
While we're always excited for this annual conference, we're particularly excited about this year's Dreamforce as we will be introducing our newest Salesforce app: Volunteer Management and Screening (VMS). Nonprofits have to manage donations, recruit volunteers, and so much more to make their mission a reality. Volunteer Management and Screening is our solution for Nonprofit Salesforce users. With VMS, nonprofits can quickly create volunteer needs, easily recruit volunteers, and compliantly screen volunteers-- without ever leaving Salesforce! Volunteer Management and Screening takes volunteer management to the next level, giving nonprofits more time to focus on their mission. Attend our Dreamforce session, "Introducing VMS - Recruit, manage, and screen volunteers within Salesforce," to learn more about our VMS and its solution.
In addition to our introductory session of VMS, Dreamforce will host over 3,000 sessions (yes, really!). So, to help you navigate this year's conference, we thought we’d highlight some additional sessions we’re most excited for.
