This is my fifth year on the AppExchange team at Dreamforce, and I’m more excited than ever because we’re mixing it up; bringing a mix of new solutions, sessions, Demo Jams, and more to #DF19.
Your AppExchange mix is the go-to set of pre-built solutions and consultants that, together, help you power your business. “AppExchange continues to integrate with, and bring forth, the latest technology, and we will be talking about that more at Dreamforce,” shares Woodson Martin, EVP of AppExchange, during the recent Road to Dreamforce (watch it below).
Plus, we’re bringing much of this experience online throughout the week, so you won’t see FOMO in this ingredient list.
Here’s how you can find your perfect mix of solutions, and how to mix it up with Appy at Dreamforce.
Find the right mix of new solutions
The AppExchange Landing, located in Moscone West, includes lots of ways to learn about the newest AppExchange solutions and consultants. In fact, we’re excited to share some new solutions joining AppExchange around Dreamforce time, and we’ll be talking about that exciting mix onsite at the AppExchange Landing, and online.
Stop by the AppExchange Landing to:
- Learn how to extend Salesforce with AppExchange solutions
- Explore apps, Lightning components, bolt solutions, Lightning data, consultants, and more
- Get 1-on-1 consultations to find the perfect AppExchange solutions for your department and industry
- Create your custom mix of AppExchange solutions and consultants that are good enough to eat (for real!)
- Learn about AppExchange and the latest and greatest solutions throughout the week in the AppExchange theater

Mix with others and win $50
The AppExchange Street Team of customers will be all over campus, as well as stationed at lodges (such as the AppExchange Landing) to enter customers to win $50 to those who get spotted and tweet. 150 customers will win online and across the Dreamforce campus. To participate, follow us (@appexchange) on Twitter and tweet with:
- A photo showing your love of AppExchange (that could be a screenshot of your fav app, a pic with your Appy plush, a selfie with the Street Team, or any other fun ideas!)
- Your favorite app (what’s in your mix lately?)
- #Appy (#DF19 would be great too, but not required!)
Big thanks to FormAssembly, Fonteva, NC Squared, Dun & Bradstreet, Fujitsu, and OwnBackup for making this sweepstakes possible.*
If you love a challenge (and prizes) then you’ll love our bonus stop on the Dreamforce Quest. While details are still being finalized, come by the AppExchange Landing and you could unlock an Appy plush keychain.**
