And the star of the show this year? AI agents. Yep, the buzzword is real—and it’s about to reshape everything. Whether you’re a seasoned Dreamforce veteran or a first timer wondering how to prepare for Dreamforce 2025, this ultimate checklist is your passport to plan your experience better.
What is Dreamforce? Why is it a big deal?
If Salesforce has a personality, the Dreamforce event is its annual BBQ, TED Talk, and rock concert—rolled into one. It’s the world’s largest software conference, bringing together 180,000+ attendees (in-person and now virtual) for a transformative week.
Why does it matter? Dreamforce is where Salesforce unveils its product roadmap, debuts groundbreaking solutions and CRM features that empower users to deepen their expertise. It’s less “vendor pitch” and more “community celebration,” offering wild networking opportunities and a window into future trends.
Over the years, it’s become the barometer for where enterprise tech, AI, sustainability, and customer experience are headed—and it defines what’s next in business.
What’s Special This Year?
The Salesforce Ohana is already buzzing with excitement about the Dreamforce 2025 agenda, and most of us are eagerly looking forward to witnessing how AI agents will take the center stage this year. From sales to service, marketing to ops, Dreamforce 2025 is showcasing how AI agents (hello, Agentforce!) are stepping up as true team players across the business.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

2. Real-Time Data in Action
