Hi ,

When you encounter a project the size and magnitude of Dreamforce, you hope you’ve addressed every detail, gathered the best talent and skills for the job, and tapped into the most creative and effective ways to connect with a message people are looking for at the event.

I can proudly say that each of those goals were realized this week.

Months of thought and preparation went into providing creative resources and thoughtful SWAG for Simplus guests. It was enough to fill a house. Here I am driving my car from my home in SoCal to San Francisco.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Our Senior Event and Marketing Manager, Wayne Bulsiewicz, was happy to see that his vision and planning conveyed a professional, streamlined, and welcoming experience for guests at our venues.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”35284″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”35283″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Meet the Dreamforce Concierge Crew:

Spencer Bugg (Videographer), Burke Anderson (Campaign Manager), and Jason Osmond (Campaign Manager) made sure booths and venues were stocked, videoed, and ready to rock and roll. They also spent some good quality time developing curated schedules for our guests.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]It was important to us that our PowerUp Party last Monday had everything a professional needed to charge up and kick off the week in style!

Last Dreamforce, Annamaria walked up to the Simplus table at this very same event. She is a military spouse in the wonderful Salesforce Military program and came to us with zero Salesforce experience having worked running a homeless shelter in Salt Lake City. I texted our EVP of PS at the time and told him we had found our first bootcamp candidate. Fast forward one year and we literally couldn’t survive without her on the managed services team.”
