Day 2 recap: Muy Bueno + Bruno Mars
This is my 3rd year at Dreamforce. And yes – it does look like the biggest software conference on the planet. So after another busy day on Monday (w/ social media, meetings, booth duty and Certinia Community day), day 2 started off with a bang at the Hillary Clinton keynote and ended with an amazing performance by Bruno Mars in City Hall!
- One on one chat with Hilary Clinton and Klaus Schwab – Bring technology to the global masses and the importance of keeping the internet open. (She also avoided questions about her potential run for the big seat in 2016.)
- Hula music and the beach boy kicked off the keynote in front of thousands of attendees
