Amber Boaz

Dreamforce Ready with Amber Boaz
Amber & Brian talks about how to get Dreamforce Ready. Don’t take Brian’s advice to simply register for Dreamforce, get a hotel and transportation and simply just show up.
Listen to Amber who gets started the day after the previous Dreamforce:
- Compression Socks – Save your feet
- Don’t overload on sessions!
- List your top things to learn at Dreamforce & priortize
- Plan with your Team – You don’t all have to go to the same sessions. Split up, take notes, and share afterwards!
- Plan time for the expo
- Plan time for parties
- Plan Time for naps!
- Bring portable charging batteries and/or a power strip
- Leave the laptop at the hotel
- Use Evernote to take notes – since it works offline – or bring a notebook & pen
- Do not buy new shoes right before Dreamforce – break them in!
- Wear comfortable walking shoes.
- Shipping your dirty clothes home & packing the swag is perfectly acceptable
- Shipping books/media from Salesforce? Let the shipper know you shipping media – may get a discount!
- Put your Twitter Handle on your bag/namebadge
- And many many more – but you have to listen!
Another great suggestion from Amber is to do a Dreamforce retrospective. What worked? What didn’t work? What can you do next year?
