As this Dreamforce comes to a close, I was looking ahead to next year and realized that the first day of DF15 is on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year). This is a major conflict for the Jewish community. And there are many of us - from customers to partners to SF staff - for whom this will be prohibitive from attending next year.
@Julie Liegl - can you help / explain?We received tremendous amount of feedback, especially considering that only 10%-20% normally respond to surveys.
Here are the highlights:
Almost 200 responses
19% missed at least 1 day of DF16
27% didn't attend DF16 due to Rosh Hashanah
74% of the people who attended the full event felt that they were inconvenienced by the scheduling conflict.
46% said that they will not attend DF17 due to the conflict
I shared this info with Marc Benioff earlier this week.
