My Take: The Main Event(s)
Gary Lemke, Chief Customer Advocate (September 17, 2012)

By the measure of attendance, Dreamforce is the biggest event of the year in our industry. I know many of you are attending this week in San Francisco. Have a great time and drop me a note with your report (sadly, I won't be there this year).

But there are so many other great events. In fact, we have 20 other events listed right now for your consideration. So if Dreamforce is not your cup of tea, I encourage to check out our list of other industry events.

Such gatherings are always a good chance to learn something new, network with other CRM giants, and just get a break away from the daily grind.

So I encourage you to look at your end of year budget and plan to attend at least one event. It may also be a good time to invest in some of your key employees. Take them with you!

What's your take?

One hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child. - Forest Witcraft
