✨ Call for TDX '24 Networking Sessions ✨ 

This year, we are excited to provide a meeting space for Trailblazers to host community networking by bringing together groups to connect on topics of interest. If you were at Dreamforce 2023, the #CommerceCrew meetup hosted by @Kyle Montgomery @Shane Smyth @Steve Holsinger @Thomas Theunen was something special.

Please fill out this form if you would like to lead a Community Networking session at TDX '24. Deadline for submission is January 26 5pm PT. All submissions will be reviewed and approved by the Trailblazer Community Team. They will be in contact with more information once your submission has been reviewed.

💡What kind of sessions are we looking for?

• Networking sessions to connect a group of Trailblazers around a common interest. Since Trailblazers will be attending from all over the world, think globally rather than a specific community group or region.
• Think networking (conversations) rather than content/presentations.
• Groups that promote open conversations, rather than private or vulnerable conversations (due to the nature of the space)
• In the spirit of sustainability, please do not bring swag. We will not be able to store items (other than personal belongings during the session) at our space.

❗Keep in mind:

• Sessions will be about 30 minutes each, with time allocated between sessions for transitions
• The space can hold up to 70 attendees. We will provide furniture and mics, but will not be able to provide a monitor, food and beverage, etc.
• While we appreciate your leadership in holding a session, we will not be able to provide speaker passes or comp codes.
