🤝 Why This Event Matters

Transitioning from military service can feel like stepping into the unknown—but you’re not starting from scratch.

Your experience already includes:

  • Leadership

  • Operations

  • Problem-solving

  • Systems thinking

The Salesforce ecosystem provides a way to translate those skills into meaningful, sustainable careers—and this community is here to help you do it.

🔥 Our Goal

We want every veteran and spouse who attends to leave with:

  • A clear understanding of what’s possible

  • A path they can follow

  • Connections they can rely on

And most importantly:

Confidence in their future

🙌 Come As You Are

No experience. No pressure. No expectations.

Just bring your curiosity—and let’s build the next chapter together.
