dreamforce 2016 Archives

In a White House dinner for Nobel Laureates several decades back, JFK famously said, “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”

No disrespect to JFK, but this year’s Dreamforce, which is only a week from now, could be the single biggest gathering of influential tech and business minds outside of when Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dined together.

Funny thing is, that does not hint even a morsel of exaggeration.

It’s not often that mere mortals like us get to rub elbows (and perhaps, exchange numbers) with industry leaders and trailblazers, scientists and advocates and all the people we look up to such as Marc Benioff, Melinda Gates, Mark Cuban, Tony Robbins, and the head honchos of top companies and startups alike. It’s not often that we get to talk and compare notes with thousands of other people who speak the same jargon. If there’s no adjective that combines mind-blowing and awe-inspiring and electrifying with a dash of humbling, it’s about time they made one. Or they could just turn Dreamforce into that adjective.

Of course, Dreamforce is also the best venue and provides the best excuse to become a sponge and be curious – there are thousands of sessions to choose from and hundreds of hours of keynotes and trainings and workshops it’s like a Disneyland for tech guys and entrepreneurs. Even the rule here is elementary: Be so curious it borders on being stupid. Don’t worry, most participants are too busy learning every bit they can to judge.

Incredibly, that’s not the main reason the Callbox team is invading Dreamforce 2016.

More importantly, the Callbox team would like to take this opportunity to meet and thank our past and current clients for trusting us with their business, as well as win over potential partners who just have a couple of questions to ask. We would really appreciate to get up close and personal with you. So if you want to know about our latest innovations or how we’ve managed to lead the pack in lead generation especially for IT and software, you know where to find us starting October 5th. Don’t worry, we’ll make ourselves – and that includes our CEO, Rom Agustin, himself — available to you.

Coffee and leadgen sound just about right, and they’re on us.

Now, let’s walk the walk. We’re coming because of you, and we’re not asking much except for a minute of tete-a-tete. Who knows, signing up here could be one of best decisions in your life.

“A rock star, a politician, and an entrepreneur walk into a bar…”

No, that’s not an introduction to an oft-heard bar room joke. That’s just a highly possible scenario in one of the most anticipated and participated tech events in the world – Dreamforce. On October 4-7 this year, the streets in downtown San Francisco are expected to swell from almost 200,000 participants not just from California and the US, but all over the world. And yes, some of them are rock stars, political figures, and business leaders.

What is Dreamforce?

Dreamforce is an annual customer conference hosted by Salesforce, a leading customer relationship management (CRM) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider. It is also one of the largest gatherings of sales and marketing and tech people, IT professionals, developers, startups, entrepreneurs, executives, and pretty much anybody, actually, who’s interested in improving their company in terms of systems, processes, innovation, and of course, ROI. It’s a one-of-a-kind customer forum made up of more than 2,000 sessions and hundreds of hours of keynotes, trainings, and demos. Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, Sir Richard Branson, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Foo Fighters, and Bruno Mars have all graced an edition of Dreamforce. Really, it’s part conference, part festival, part concert, and part social gathering.

Why Attend?

The Dreamforce website promises that, “… you’ll learn, connect, and grow. You’ll mingle with thought leaders, industry pioneers, and thousands of your peers, and you’ll walk away with knowledge, connections, and memories that last a lifetime. Best of all, you’ll have the time of your life…”

Great PR job by Dreamforce, but don’t take their word for it.

Be there and see and experience it yourself.

See, the Callbox team is also going to be there. Being one of the most trusted and recognized leaders in B2B lead generation, we thought you might want to personally ask us how we’ve managed to exceed our clients’ expectations year in and year out. Four of our executives, including our CEO, Rom Agustin would relish the opportunity to talk with you about the Callbox brand of lead generation, our vaunted SMART Calling program, the very efficient Callbox Pipeline Lead Nurture tool, or just about anything marketing. If you are or have been a client, we’d also love to meet you there and thank you for the partnership. Coffee’s on us!

And oh, did I mention one of the best live acts in the world is going to be there, too? Yes, U2 (Bono and the rest of the gang) is headlining DF16.

Believe me, I’d happily part with a few hundred dollars in exchange for a week of learning about the industry, getting all the product updates, and meeting like-minded people. Of course, getting a Dreamforce certification plus the possibility of snapping a selfie with Bono could’ve been reasons enough.

The Callbox Team will be there October 4 to 7. Schedule your meetup by clicking on this link:
