Hey, Salesforce Developers, we are excited to announce that the Call for Participation (CFP) for TDX 2026 is officially open!
TDX is the must-attend event for the global Salesforce Developer community, uniting thousands of technical professionals to explore the latest in Agentforce, data, core platform, vibe coding, and Slack. Presenting at TDX gives you a powerful opportunity to share your expertise with one of the world’s most engaged technical audiences, and position yourself as a leader in the Salesforce ecosystem.
The developer track is seeking compelling, high-quality session proposals that inspire and teach others by showcasing your expertise through deep technical dives, real-world implementations, and innovative solutions. Whether you are an experienced speaker or new to the stage, we invite you to share your unique perspective and contribute to the community’s collective knowledge.
The TDX 2026 Call for Participation is open from December 10, 2025 to February 13, 2026.
Explore topics for your session
To craft a great submission, your proposal should include one or more of the following key topics:
- Technical deep dives that demonstrate your expertise and experience, covering a specific feature, a solution you built, or a passion topic supported by your personal experience
- Latest Salesforce innovations that allow you to share your experience
- Pilot or beta experiences that you’ve gained with upcoming features and changes
- Solutions built on well-known and established technologies such as Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Flow
- Use cases demonstrating cross-cloud content are very powerful as most real-world implementations and solutions span several clouds (e.g., an integration between the Salesforce Platform and Slack)
Choose a session format
You can choose from the following session formats to submit:
- Breakout sessions (40 minutes): These sessions are held in dedicated rooms and offer a larger audience capacity. This long format gives presenters ample time to dive deeply into their topic, and to take live questions from the audience. We recommend 35 minutes for presentation delivery, and five minutes for questions and discussion. Up to three presenters may deliver a breakout.
- Theater sessions (20 minutes): These sessions feature technical solutions and expertise, as well as solution demos. Conducted on the show floor in open theaters, they do not allow for audience questions, but instead are an opportunity for the presenter to share knowledge. There is a maximum of two presenters in these shorter sessions.
Submit your proposal
Submitting a TDX session proposal is a simple, step-by-step process. Here are some guidelines for defining your session and filling out the submission form.
- Review the Call for Participation form before starting your submission, so you can carefully think through each field. Remember: every piece of data you submit helps the technical reviewing team understand your session’s potential for success. They’re looking for clear stories, real-world relevance, and great takeaways. To maximize your chances, make sure that your proposal clearly outlines the challenge, your solution, and the technical lessons the audience will gain.
- Craft an authentic and meaningful title and abstract.
- For the title, provide an overview of the topic that you will present to a technical audience (developers, admins, or architects). Make it very clear to attendees what they’ll learn. Tip: Start with a verb and include the name of the product or technology.
- Example: Utilizing Parallel Subscriptions to Help with Your Agents

- For the abstract, provide a short paragraph that dives deeper into what your session is going to cover. Be creative! What are you going to explain? What are you going to build or demo? What will your audience take home with them and share with their teams? Tip: Accuracy and clarity are more important than creative writing. Be careful with AI-generated titles and abstracts, as they can feel inauthentic and impersonal.
