It’s the first day of Dreamforce and it’s starting out to be awesome. With keynotes from Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com; Julia Hartz, Eventbrite; John Collison, Stripe; Boylon Slat, The Ocean Cleanup and so many more, plus the 135,000+ attendees here all over San Francisco, it’s pretty exciting.
However the level of douchbaggery that goes with any show like this increases with a huge increase in attendees. You know the guys who’ve been buzzing around big events like the Salesforce event for years that think they’re super awesome and they’ll tell you just how awesome? “I’m speaking at the blah, blah, blah keynote, here’s who I am and what I do and I don’t give a rat’s ass who you are and what you do.” Those types. Ewe! Spoke to one a day ago, like that, and when I tried to get a word in edgewise to actually introduce myself, he just kept on steamrolling me. I did break out “Oh great to meet you too; my wife here was the first partner ever of Salesforce.com at VerticalResponse, yeah the most downloaded app for years and years I’m sure you remember her.” No response, don’t even think it registered with him. Wait, did I just become one of “them”? No.
But, how does he know we couldn’t be a great partner or customer?! Isn’t the point of these shows to network and make deals?
Anyhoo, along with those types, there’s lots of really cool people and a ton of awesome new apps to see. Plus, some great and familiar faces like our friends at Salesforce, InsideView, Campaign Monitor, VerticalResponse, Zuora, & Full Circle Insights.
We’re lucky enough to be asked to speak tomorrow on Salesforce’s new Lightning App Builder 
built on the Salesforce 1 Platform. One of our engineers was able to build Dasheroo as a component right in the mobile version of Salesforce which is really slick. Way to go Alex! We’ll be at the Marriott Marquis on 4th St. in San Francisco at 8 am Wednesday the 16th. Check out our fancy press release here. This is an expensive show so we’ve got to get the most out of it.
