My Story...

As I mentioned in a previous assignment, last year I was fortunate enough to attend the salesforce convention in San Francisco, CA. Salesforce.com is the worldwide leader in on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) services. I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Dreamforce conference again, and am creating this podcast from San Francisco. As you can imagine after traveling over 51/2 hours via plane with a crying baby on board, driving & checking into the hotel, experiencing difficulty with my Sprint wireless card, and attending the welcome reception I am quite tired L So I will keep this as brief as possible…

For the next three days I plan on attending various administrator training sessions as well as research some of the services and products available through the salesforce partners. The conference also keeps us quite busy with after hour events. For example, tomorrow evening they are hosting a private concert for all attendees with the Foo Fighters scheduled to perform. They also have some great guest speakers lined up. Last year I was fortunate enough to hear George Lucas speak. You would never guess that he is so actively involved with edutopia, a hands on learning initiative (very interesting please check out the link!!). Once again I am looking forward to this year's guest speakers some of which include, Neil Young (Musician), Larry Brilliant (Google.org) and Sheryl Sanberg (Facebook). If you want to see what else I may be up to this week please feel to browse the conference website here.
