#DF14tips

Come Prepared

• Be able to articulate your desired business outcomes

In a nutshell, be able to describe who you are, what you do, and what you are trying to achieve. You will be asked more times than you can count.

• Agenda Builder

Understand your goals for the conference and find related sessions

Don’t wait until the last minute

› But if you do….

• The small stuff

Wear comfortable footwear!

Don’t lug your laptop around if you don’t have to

Get a back-up battery pack

Take a small multi-plug

Pick up your pass early, or wait on a long line

#DF14tips

Be Open

• Get Uncomfortable

Leave the familiarity of your co-workers

Challenge yourself with new Salesforce topics

• Visit the MVPs

Check out the Community Zone

Ask the Experts

• Explore the Expo Floor

Dictate the conversation

#DF14tips

Don’t Over Do It

• Space sessions out appropriately

Don’t do back to back sessions that are in buildings across town

Give yourself time to reflect

Don’t forget to eat!

• Keep it Professional

Don’t be “that guy/gal”

› You are representing your business

• Sessions are Recorded

Youtube is your friend

#DF14tips

Be Mobile, Be Social
