Drop by and ask questions about updates to the products you use every day, and discover new ones that will help you build better apps, faster. You can also give experts direct feedback about product roadmaps! Plus, new for 2018 you can stroll through the Tree of Integration, where we’ll demo how to connect your Salesforce apps in new ways; for example with MuleSoft.

Robotics Ridge was a big hit at TrailheaDX, and it’s back and better than ever for Dreamforce! This is a fun opportunity to see first-hand how different Salesforce technologies — including Lightning Platform, IoT, Platform Events, and Heroku — can work together and power a manufacturing line…of robots!
