Toronto Salesforce Developer Group

🎤 The TND27 Call for Speakers is Open! 

It’s been a little while since our last update here, but planning for True North Dreamin’ 2027

is moving along — and we’ve officially reached one of the fun parts: building the agenda. 

True North Dreamin’ returns to Toronto on April 6–7, 2027 at the Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel, and speaker submissions are now open through November 15, 2026

. 

We’re looking for speakers from across the Salesforce ecosystem to share practical knowledge, experiences, ideas and lessons learned with the community. Topics can include the Salesforce Platform, AI, Tableau, Slack, MuleSoft, Professional Development/Career, or just about any related topic in between.

Session formats include:

• 20-minute sessions
• 50-minute sessions
• 1h20 hands-on training sessions

You don’t need to be a seasoned conference speaker to submit. If you’ve solved an interesting problem, learned something others could benefit from, or have an idea you think would make a great conversation, we’d love to hear from you.

Speaker offers are expected to begin going out around

For those travelling internationally, we know that coming to Canada can involve some extra planning. Selected speakers who require supporting documentation for a visa application will be supported through that process.

You can find the full submission guidelines and submit your session here:

We’re looking forward to seeing what the community brings us for TND27! 🇨🇦

LAST CALL to Help Shape TND 2027

We’re still looking for feedback on where TND27 should take place within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area and we’d love your input! 

If you haven’t filled out the location survey yet, there’s still time. But don't wait too long. The Survey closes May 31st.

One question we’re getting asked a lot:

“Why is True North Dreamin' staying in the GTA again next year?”

The short answer: sustainability and growth.

As a fully volunteer-run event, it’s difficult to finish one conference and immediately pivot to planning in a completely different part of a country, especially one as large as Canada. Staying within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area for another year helps us:

💙 Build a stronger financial foundation for the future

💙 Reduce operational stress while we improve and grow the event

💙 Begin planning TND28 earlier and more strategically

💙 Build stronger local volunteer and organizational support (wherever we plan to go next)

💙 Create a more sustainable long-term path for expanding to other regions in future years

We absolutely want TND to continue growing across Canada over time. This is simply the most realistic and responsible next step as we continue to build the event.

Thanks for all your feedback, ideas, and support so far! 🇨🇦

A Successful Two Days at True North Dreamin' 2026! 

True North Dreamin’ 2026 has wrapped, and I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to this amazing community 💙 

Over the two days, we saw exactly what makes the Salesforce ecosystem so special—people sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and making new connections.

From practical, real-world sessions to the conversations happening in between, the energy throughout the event was something special. 

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, spoke, volunteered, and supported TND26. This event is 100% community-driven, and it really shows in the way people show up for each other. 

Even though the event is over, the conversations don’t stop here. I hope you’ll continue to stay connected, share what you’ve learned, and keep building on the relationships you started. 

We’re already starting to think about next year (yes, already), and one of the biggest decisions is location.

If you’re in the Golden Horseshoe/GTA area—or planning to attend again—we’d really appreciate your input.

Go to: Location Survey

If you were there, what stood out to you? Favourite session, moment, or takeaway? Was there a speaker that made you think, "I could do this too"? Share it here to inspire others.

And if you missed it, hopefully we’ll see you next time 😊

📝 True North Dreamin’ 2026 is Just 9 Days Away 🇨🇦

We’re officially into the final stretch for True North Dreamin’ 2026 — just 9 days out.

***A quick note for speakers and sponsors: there are a few upcoming deadlines on

At this point, most of the event is set — sessions, speakers, sponsors, and the many little details that make it all come together.

Speaker profiles are live, the session list is full, the agenda is live, and it’s much easier now to see what the two days will look like.

We’ve also been sending important updates to attendees, speakers, and sponsors over the past couple of weeks. If you’re planning to join us in Toronto and haven’t seen those, please check your inbox (and spam folder), or let us know so we can resend.

Things are starting to move very quickly. 

Sponsors are preparing, speakers are finalizing details, and attendees are sorting travel, hotels, and schedules. It’s no longer “next month”. It’s right around the corner.

🚀 New Video Alert! | Salesforce Summer '26 Flow Enhancement 

🗺️ Map Values in Flows Using Global Flow Resources — and it's a game changer! 

If you've ever struggled with hardcoding picklist values or managing label-to-value mappings inside Flows, Summer '26 has a beautiful solution for you. 

In my latest video, I walk you through: 

✅ How to create Global Flow Resources for value mapping 

✅ How to wire these resources directly into your Flows 

✅ A complete end-to-end demo inside the Salesforce Automation App 

💡 Why does this matter? 

Before this enhancement, maintaining value maps across multiple Flows was painful — changes had to be made in every single Flow. With Global Flow Resources, you define it once and reuse it everywhere. That means less maintenance, fewer bugs, and cleaner architecture. 

Whether you're a Salesforce Admin looking to level up your Flow game or a Developer building complex automation, this feature will save you hours of rework. 

🎯 This is a must-watch if you: 

👉 Build or maintain Flows in Salesforce 

👉 Want to write cleaner, more scalable automation 

👉 Are preparing for the Summer '26 release 

📺 Watch here:

🚀 The Salesforce Summer '26 Treasure Hunt is ON! 

Salesforce Summer '26 is just around the corner, and I’ve been digging into the pre-release environment to find the hidden gems you need to know about! 💎 

What’s inside:

✅

Radio Button groups, Batch Size control, and the "Expand/Collapse All" feature (a huge time-saver for complex flows!).  

✅

Direct visibility into field access within the Object Manager.  

✅

A first look at this major new addition to the Salesforce ecosystem.  

✅

Real-time approval notifications to keep business moving. 

Why watch?

Staying ahead of the release cycle means you can start planning your roadmap now. These features aren't just "cool"—they are designed to reduce technical debt and improve the end-user experience.

📝 We also shared a new blog post this week. 

A look at what a typical day at True North Dreamin’ can feel like — from sessions and keynotes to the conversations in between. If you’re still deciding or just starting to plan, it’s a helpful way to picture how your time might unfold. 

If TND has been on your radar, this is a good time to start locking in plans.

And for those considering sponsorship — please note that inclusion in certain printed and on-site materials (such as t-shirts, lanyards, and signage) depends on upcoming production timelines, so we may have to offer alternate benefits for sponsorships received after April 5th.

More to come next week as we head into April.
