Did 2019 sneak up on anyone else? The fact that we’re already midway through January is blowing my mind! If you’re like me, you might be playing catch-up right now—frantically finalizing goals and professional development plans for the year.
It’s okay. We’ve all been there. And better yet, I’m here to help.
If Salesforce is a key part of your team’s workflow, you should consider attending a Salesforce event in 2019. There are many Salesforce-focused events to choose from throughout the year, and they take place in various cities across the globe. These events are great for learning more about the popular CRM and connecting with fellow Salesforce users.
If you’re not sure where to start with planning your 2019 Salesforce event attendance, you’re in the right place. I’ve compiled a list of Formstack’s top picks for 2019 Salesforce conferences—four hosted by Salesforce and four hosted by community members.
Take a look to see if any of these events are a good fit for your team:
