On October 4, 2016, tens of thousands of Salesforce aficionados will gather in San Francisco to hear about the future of Salesforce, learn how to best use Salesforce in their organizations, and network with experts across industries at Dreamforce (#DF16). As the largest nonprofit technology conference, Dreamforce is an excellent time to meet with other organizations and learn from their mistakes and successes.

What’s the best way to maximize your time at Dreamforce? Start preparing now! Make a list of who you want to meet and what questions you have, so you’ll know what sessions to sign up for when it’s time for that. Work Dreamforce into your annual budget and be prepared to reserve your hotel room early as they fill up fast.

In the meantime, enjoy my five top picks for Dreamforce 2015 videos to stay motivated in your nonprofit Salesforce success:

  1. Mindfulness Practices that Activate Your Full Potential: This talk on the last day of Dreamforce had the most profound impact on me of anything I learned at Dreamforce. Tara Brach explains how meditation and awareness can make us better colleagues, friends, and humans in easy to understand language. 
  2. #AwesomeAdmin Hacks: Tips and Tricks for Nonprofit Admins: Vered Meir is amazing! You should watch and re-watch this for inspiration and ideas to implement. Fun tip: this is how I learned about and became fascinated by bitmoji. 
  3. Nonprofit Starter Pack: Doing it All on a Shoestring! I love these presenters and how clear they are (and Marc Baizman in particular) that all of these small organizations traded time for money. In other words, if you want to implement the NPSP on a tiny budget, you’ll need to spend a lot of time in the Power of Us Hub, on Trailhead, and leveraging other free resources. 
  4. Jennifer Wobser and Dale Ziegler ‘How to be a(n Even More!) Successful Solo Admin!’ This fun presentation features Jennifer and Dale in cartoon form (and apparently floating on a black background stage) listing a huge toolbox of resources and special strengths you can leverage and bring to the table. 
  5. Dirty Data: the 21st Century Curse with Paul Young (@sfdc_paul) - Strategies and tips for preventing and CLEANING your Salesforce data. Spoiler alert: the speaker goes into detail about CRM Fusion’s DemandTools product, which is free for nonprofits!
