Down Under Dreaming : Sydney Edition / a salesforce community led event

Australia’s largest Salesforce community event returns!

After the inaugural sold-out Down Under Dreaming: Sydney Edition last year at Taronga Zoo, we are delighted to be back for 2018 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 26 July.

This year’s event will have more breakout sessions and more room for all Trailblazers in attendance. There will be sessions across admin, developer, business and equality topics as well as inspiring keynotes. See below for a first look at our speakers with many more to come.

Proudly Supporting

Raising Funds For Families Living With Breast Cancer

Through generous support from attendees and sponsors of Down Under Dreaming Sydney 2018, we plan to raise awareness of the support and great work McGrath Foundation does to make life that little bit easier for individuals and families experiencing breast cancer.

Your support will help the McGrath Foundation raise money to place specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses wherever they’re needed, right across Australia- for free.
