It’s happening! On May 16-17th, thousands of Salesforce professionals from all over the world are coming together for the 1st Virtual Dreamin conference, with the purpose of sharing knowledge, getting together and having a great time – all good reasons to attend! Almost like Dreamforce, except that Virtual Dreamin is organized by the community.
There are plenty of great sessions coming up and it can be hard to choose which ones to attend. To make it a bit easier, here’s a list of must-attend sessions for you. These sessions put an emphasis on soft skills rather than technical knowledge – after all, soft-skills are what differentiates the great from the good. Many of my recommended sessions are part of the Architect track, but trust me, they are helpful regardless of your role.
Note: These sessions are targeted towards soft skill excellence, ones that have takeaways you can apply right away and have received consistently great feedback from attendees in the past.
