Luxe Buffet Lunch	Gourmet “Luxe Buffet Lunch” is served, prepared by Culinary Chefs - Sponsored by Perficient
Salesforce Career - What a Journey!	Jigna Khatri will share her Salesforce journey with all of you. She started very fresh in Salesforce, but She was curious and motivated to learn. Like many of you, She faced obstacles—confusing concepts, failed attempts, and moments of self-doubt. But she kept going by using the right resources like Trailhead and superbadges to build both confidence and skills. She will talk about what worked for her, how she stayed consistent, and how she finally landed her first role. Her goal is to give you honest tips that can help you prepare for certifications and grow in your own journey. If she can do it, so can you!
Balancing Demands	Jaemi Loeb - Sometimes, becoming a Salesforce admin wasn't really part of the plan. Suddenly, you find yourself fielding all kinds of requests and you feel like you can't say no. And yet, you're the one who is actually responsible for Salesforce, which means you sometimes need to say no. How do you balance competing demands and unclear lines of authority? In this session, we'll learn and practice techniques for evaluating requests and generating useful requirements while keeping your colleagues and leadership happy.
Agentforce Implementation at Salesforce	Hear the real and current experience of a Salesforce Business Analyst working with Agentforce solutions- from a fast, but focused pilot enablement, to developing capabilities, aligning with compliance, and working through job displacement fears within the business. Learn how Salesforce partners internally across product, business technology, process experts, and operations teams in a constantly developing agent landscape. Converse and connect during Q&A- bring your ideas and insights as we consider how SDR Agent is being realized at Salesforce and how that can translate across the ecosystem!
Implementing 4Ds	Lakshmi Akella - Perficient Enterprise Solutions Director, a seasoned Salesforce Center of Excellence Leader will present several Fortune 2000 Salesforce & Perficient Customer Success stories. Join us for an enlightening journey through the 4Ds: Discover / Design / Develop / Deliver. Insights will include each Salesforce "solution stack" that was implemented, industry alignments, best practices, challenges that were met and resolved, and business outcomes that resulted.
Network Reception	Begin an on-prem Social Hour with Open Bar featuring craft beers and wine - Sponsored by Perficient
