Can you believe it? Dreamforce is just 5 short weeks away! Whether you’re a newbie or a repeat attendee, Dreamforce can be overwhelming (in the best way).

2. Be on the lookout for the latest news and updates.
In addition to your trusty Survival Kit, there are a lot of resources to keep you updated on the latest with DF16. Be sure to subscribe to Road to Dreamforce, a weekly web series that airs live every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. EDT/ 11:00 a.m. PDT. And if you really want to stay on top of things, set up a Google alert for “Dreamforce.”

3. Be active on social.
Get the conversation going on Twitter, Facebook, and heck, Snapchat! Use the hashtag #DF16 to throw your voice into the ring and start connecting with other attendees. And be sure to follow and tweet at @SalesforceOrg and @Dreamforce.

4. Replenish your business card supply.
You’re going to be in the presence of hundreds of thousands of potential LinkedIn connections (and maybe even some new IRL friends)! Make sure you get a fresh stack of business cards printed so you won’t be forgotten amid the hustle and bustle.

5. Meet Astro.
And last but not least — meet Astro! Astro is our beloved, trailblazing mascot, who loves to dress up in different costumes. You’ll be seeing a lot of this technophile around Dreamforce, so it’s good to become acquaintances early!
