Dreamforce ’17 Trail Map: 4 Perfect Days for Nonprofit Admins & Developers

Foundations facilitate change by providing critical resources. Making this change happen can be really difficult when you’re working with antiquated technology systems, spreadsheets, or loads and loads of paper. Salesforce can help foundations of all types do what they need to do from managing the grants application process to advanced analytics that allow you to make data-informed decisions and understand the impact of programs as a whole. And everything in between!

Find out how at Dreamforce. There will be close to 3,000 sessions at DF17 and only 4 days so now is the time to plan your schedule with Agenda Builder. Here’s what we think would make a pretty perfect four days of content at Dreamforce for those of you who work at foundations. This list is not exhaustive ― it’s just meant to help you think about how best to take advantage of all this conference has to offer.
