Every year, Salesforce hosts the largest software conference in the U.S., Dreamforce. This year we are so excited to attend and hear from inspirational and informative keynotes, network with fellow trailblazers (and attend musical performances!) to brush up on our Salesforce skills.

With over 3,200 sessions from a wide array of topics it is impossible to attend all, and very difficult to decide which sessions are the most beneficial. To help highlight a few sessions that stood out to us, as a sales organization and lead generation-focused consultancy, we have compiled 5 sessions that we are looking forward to at this Dreamforce 2017.
