About this event

☀️ Summer, Salesforce & Smoother Deployments

Join the Charlotte Salesforce community for an evening of learning, networking, and summer fun at Divine Barrel Brewing!

Enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres, connect with fellow Salesforce professionals, and hear from a Flosum engineer about how to make Salesforce releases more reliable—and a lot less stressful.

🎲 Take the Gamble Out of Salesforce Releases

Salesforce releases can sometimes feel like a roll of the dice. When everything works, nobody notices. But when a deployment fails, the ripple effects can impact your users, your data, your deadlines, and even your reputation.

During this session, we’ll explore the realities of Salesforce release management, including why deployments become so complex, where teams commonly struggle, and what separates reactive release processes from mature, dependable DevOps practices.

Whether you’re a solo admin wearing every hat or part of a larger Salesforce team, you’ll leave with practical ideas for reducing deployment stress, improving change management, and building a more resilient release strategy.

Bring your deployment horror stories—we all have at least one!

Topics will include:

  • Why Salesforce deployments are more complicated than they seem

  • Common release management pitfalls and risks

  • Strategies for improving deployment confidence and visibility

  • Building toward DevOps maturity in the Salesforce ecosystem

  • Q&A with a Flosum engineer

🌴 RSVP Reminder

We have limited seating and a limited event budget, so please only RSVP for the in-person event if you are confident you can attend.

Please avoid cancelling unless you are ill, have been exposed to an illness, or have an unavoidable conflict. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event are difficult to backfill and may still impact our event costs—and possibly my personal finances!

No-shows are strongly frowned upon.
