Find the Navigators at Dreamforce

We’re on the eve of Dreamforce, and with only three days in the conference this year, everything is EVEN MORE PACKED than normal. But shorter or not, we’re still like kids on Christmas Eve here at Navigators, and we can’t wait to rip the wrapping paper of this year’s biggest Dreamforce event! Here’s a rundown on when and where you can catch up with the Navigators at Dreamforce 2023. 

Before Dreamforce

Before the curtain goes up is a great time to catch up with friends and enjoy all the kick-off events when your feet aren’t sore yet. Here’s our picks to get this party started:

Sercante Welcome Bash @ the Pink Elephant

You probably heard about Sercante’s big party last year – between the champagne wall, the costumed performers, the basement dance floor and the rooftop snacks this was THE event of the year. You can always trust marketers to throw the best events! We wouldn’t miss it.

PepUp Tech “Dress to Impress” Hip Hop Karaoke @ Pandora Karaoke

This annual party has been running since (we think) 2019, and this year it’s back with the best theme yet. Come to celebrate the 50th anniversary of HipHop in your 80’s best and give to a great cause while you’re at it. Hayley is practicing “I Will Survive” and doesn’t care if it’s the wrong decade and genre.

Community Leader Breakfast @ Salesforce Tower

Fuel up leaders! Calling all Community Group Leaders to RSVP for a power-up with the Salesforce Trailblazer Community leadership. Dustin will be here reppin’ the LA Nonprofit Group. We expect the gnosh will be primo at the Tower, too. 

Main Keynote

We’re mostly leaving out the sessions in this roundup in favor of the parties, but I think we can all agree this is THE part of the year! We won’t miss it, and Hayley will be trying to recreate her iconic 2022 Keynote pic… (IYKYK!)  

Nonprofit Community Reception @ Sam’s Grill & Tavern

We think this one might be a first. Desserts plus non profit leaders, MVPs and partners?  Count us in! This one is space available and reservations are closed, but like a lot of Dreamforce events, folks RSVP but don’t make it, so it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area Tuesday night. 

OwnBackup After Dark @ 667 Howard Street

Keeping the 80’s theme going, the San Fran 80’s Tribute Band Tainted Love will be providing the jams to go food and drink in this pure fun event. 

Wednesday, Sep 13th

#bobablazers Dreamforce @ Spaces

Back again with your afternoon pickup, Jenh and her squad will be slinging boba and making new friends, all to benefit Maui. Pro tip: check out the BobaBlazer T-shirts just for the event. 

Military Trailblazer Meetup @ Community Cove

Check your agendas and swing by the Community Cove networking spot in the Trailblazer forest to catch Hayley with her second family. You can meet and network with transitioning military, veterans, military spouses, allies, and leadership to learn what Salesforce military is all about. 

Dreamfest: FOO FIGHTERS !!!

Duh.

Thursday, Sep 14th

10th Anniversary Amplify DF Breakfast @ Julia Morgan Ballroom

This year is the 10th anniversary of Amplify, so push yourself out of bed after Dreamfest and come breakfast with this pioneering group. Hayley got her Admin cert under the tutelage of an Amplify study group way back in the day, so she never misses it!

Newbie Bacon Breakfast @ Sears Fine Food

Speaking of Dreamforce traditions, calling all first timers and first time allies! Here’s another annual tradition, this year benefiting Project Night Night, helping homeless children. There’s no friendlier event to meet new friends and enjoy, what else, BACON. You may even catch a glimpse of organizer Eric Dreshfield in his new bacon-bedazzled jacket from Midwest Dreamin.

Merivis Mixer @ 654 Mission

Here’s another eye-opener that’s a new tradition for Merivis. This group of vets, spouses, and allies has had a long track record of great mixers, but this year they’re hosting a breakfast mixer in grand Texas style – Breakfast Tacos! 

Michaelforce Cigar Shindig @ Cigar Bar and Grill

It’s our very first event sponsorship! For our first outing as sponsors, we’re joining the sponsors of this iconic Dreamforce event. Come join us for this End-of-Dreamforce social and maybe puff a Navigators branded cigar with Dustin (non smokers welcome too)!

Will we see you at Dreamforce?

If you see us out and about, come say hi, and get your very own Navigators sticker.
