Salesforce events are always a hit among all Salesforce and Cloud enthusiasts. Where Salesforce India is growing at a fast pace, there’s a lot happening around the sphere with continuous opportunities evolving in the Salesforce ecosystem here in the Asian sub-continent. Salesforce is the host of the biggest ever cloud event – Dreamforce, in the world. And with Dreamforce being such a breathtaking event, any Salesforce powered event has with it a lot of expectations.
JDF ’17 – Jaipur Dev Fest 2017, held on 1st of April, 2017, was one such event organized by highly experienced and innovative team of Salesforce evangelists and MVPs – Gaurav Kheterpal, Durgesh Shoot, Bhawani Sharma, Ankit Arora and Abhinav Gupta. A bunch thanks to the team for getting it all done so amazingly.
What was the theme?
Being one of the first of its kinds, the event marketing started with just the right pace and target audience. We, at Signity, too were personally approached and having looked at the wonderful agenda and plans, we quickly agreed for the sponsorship! Being held in Jaipur, the event had a spicy Indian flavor of Rajasthan. Everything from the logo to the collateral and the website had that aroma.
