You should subscribe for the full episode, but here are a few takeaways from our conversation with Michelle Blair.
By Trailblazers, for TrailblazersMichelle is a part of the Trailblazer Community team, which helps millions of Salesforce users around the world come together and learn. I brought her on the pod to tell us about community conferences and how you can find an event near you.
Salesforce community conferences are created by Trailblazers, for Trailblazers. As Michelle shares, over 40 events are happening this year around the world, and they offer a great opportunity to connect with other people in the community and learn more about Salesforce.
Get personal at a Salesforce community event near youWhen you think of Salesforce events, you probably think of Dreamforce or TrailheaDX. These events are huge and offer so much. But all of those choices can get a little overwhelming. The cost can also be a challenge. I remember exactly how much budget I had for attending conferences when I was a solo admin—it was $0.
If you've ever felt that way, Michelle recommends that you give community events a try. Because they're volunteer-organized, they have a more intimate, personal, inclusive feel. It's easier to talk to speakers and make those connections. You can also find one within driving distance so you don't have to take a flight or book a hotel.
Most importantly, the quality of content and professional networking opportunities at community conferences is top-notch. Michelle and her team have put together a handy-dandy calendar so you can easily find a community event near you.
Get involved in the Salesforce communityMichelle's team is hard at work making Salesforce community events even better. They offer sponsorships to help with affordability and are connecting organizers with keynote speakers and Salesforce engineers. This year, they're bringing several hands-on workshops to community events to take your learning to the next level.
