Midwest Dreamin’ is a community-led, community-run event. It’s organized by regional Community Group leaders who bring a ‘super community group’ to the midwest for learning, inspiration and networking. This year, Midwest Dreamin’ delivered over 40 sessions ranging from hands-on training to engaging Demo Jams to emotional detox, plus keynotes from Kris Lande and other Salesforce leaders.
During this exciting event in the windy city, we asked customers how AppExchange solutions helped overcome a business challenge this year, and what topped their favorites. Here’s what fans of AppExchange in the midwest had to say.
