Yesterday, our Research Associate and I attended the Dreamforce Expo in San Francisco. It is an annual conference by salesforce.com. There were a lot of people and everyone seemed very excited to apply social media concepts to sales, marketing, and production. Here are a few pictures from our adventure:

The room was filled for the keynote speech. Must have been over 40k people! |

The cloud allows you to expand your services without having to install any actual software. |

There were a lot of cool booths with great giveaways like these Dippin Dots! |
Dreamforce gave me a lot of insight in applying social media in order to market to potential prospects, and learn more about your current customers/clients. I also learned a lot about cloud computing and what is possible with the existing platforms that are out there. As I learn more, I can't wait to share the information with everyone.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
