    Too many overlapping keynotes I think. I don't see it on the live schedule but wouldn't hurt to check the day of - things change!

Dreamforce is NEXT WEEK! And the Nonprofit Community is showing up BIG! See you there! 

 

Are you heading to Dreamforce this year? Or still thinking about it? More and more sessions, content, meetups and fun for Nonprofits-specifically are being announced... and I'm here to share some of what will be taking place at Dreamforce in September! 

  

Nonprofit Welcome Breakfast + Nonprofit Reception - both on Tues, Sept 15, 2026! Plus other meetups happening throughout the week! 

  

Quick Details:

 

More info:

 

The Nonprofit Welcome Breakfast is back, and it's our favorite way to kick off Dreamforce. Come for the food, stay for the connections. This is your chance to meet other nonprofit Salesforce practitioners, swap stories, and start the conference feeling plugged in and energized. 

 

Next is the Bobablazers Meetup - hosted by the San Francisco Nonprofit User Group x the Salesforce Nonprofit Community x Trailblazer Community. Join for a boba, coffee, and hang time at the Yerba Buena Gardens in the afternoon before the reception!  

 

And then the Nonprofit Reception is later in the evening! On the first night of Dreamforce 2026, we're bringing together nonprofit leaders, Trailblazers, and change makers for good food, great conversation, and a chance to connect with the people who get it. We'll be hosted at Sens Restaurant on the San Francisco Embarcadero. This is your night to slow down, meet your people, and celebrate the work that truly matters. Space is limited, so grab your spot today! 

 

Later in the week there will be a Meetup: Nonprofit Community in the Community Cove (in the main campground). Hosted by Community Members! We've strategically scheduled the meetup to be right before the keynote - so come chat, connect, network then we will stroll on over to the keynote together (we may or may not have ordered POM POMS for a fun walk over together ;)

 

And keep an eye on Nonprofit + Education + Public Sector sessions on Agenda Builder (and more being added!). 

 

Reminder: Nonprofits can still register for Dreamforce at the $399 rate, no code needed, the discount is auto-applied at checkout. See the post with the full registration details

 

See you at Dreamforce! @Education at Dreamforce @All Dreamforce

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - Friday, June 26

 

Hi crew! Back from an amazing time in London at our Community Sprint + World Tour - so great to see so many of our London community last week! Now, let's get back into the swing of things :) 

 

Let's take a look at what's going on in the Nonprofit Salesforce world this week! Chime in on the comments if there are other hot-topics you'd like to share too :)   

 

🔥 Hot topic: SECURITY - heads up, changes are coming SOON!

Hey team, this one is worth pausing on! There's been a really active thread going on the Trailblazer Community (New "Step Up Authentication" for Reports?) started by @Heath Parks all about the latest security and MFA updates - folks have been chiming in with new info as it unfolds. The key thing to know: Salesforce security changes drop on July 1, so now is the time to make sure your org is ready! 

 

Not sure where to start? We've got you:

Don't wait on this one - July 1 is right around the corner! Take a look at the community thread if you want to follow the conversation or share what you're seeing in your own org.

    Thanks for putting this together @Lizzy Roberts! I maintain a calendar of webinars, workshops, etc., for my organization but the info is scattered across trailhead academy, linkedIn, and more. Your work on these posts saves us a lot of time finding them all.

    Olá, pessoal!

    Sou da área de TI com foco em Governança, Riscos e Conformidade (GRC) e, após ler alguns artigos sobre o ecossistema Salesforce, me interessei muito pelo potencial da plataforma. Como sou nova nesse universo, estou com dificuldades para navegar no site oficial e encontrar os laboratórios práticos voltados para iniciantes.

    Alguém que já atue na área poderia me indicar por onde começar? Existe alguma trilha inicial específica ou ambiente de testes recomendado para quem quer entender a lógica de processos e configurações sem código?

    Agradeço desde já pela ajuda!
