- Salesforce Foundation Genius Bar
The genius bar in the Foundation Zone is a place for nonprofits to get advice on Salesforce challenges. Drop by during the week to get your questions answered by Foundation community volunteers, including several folks on our team.
We don’t have a booth because, frankly, we’re not much for standing around in one place (as you can see from our activities above). If you are interested in meeting with us while you are at Dreamforce, drop us a line and we’d be happy to set up a time. Email Brad Struss (brad [at] biggerboatconsulting [dot] com) or fill out our contact us form.
If you are a client who’s attending Dreamforce, look for our email about meeting up to receive one of our Dreamforce Survival Kits. They are not to be missed.
