Agenda

Check-in and networking
Welcome, Announcements, Introductions
Keynote - "Customer Panel: Salesforce & Marketing Cloud Vision and Innovation"	Join representatives from the University of Minnesota, the University of St. Thomas, Capella University, and St. Mary's University as they share their experience and answer questions about their journey with Salesforce & Marketing Cloud.
Break
Session 1
"Admin Tips and Tricks" (Chris Verbracken, Salesforce.org)	In this session we will walk through some tips and tricks for improving the Salesforce experience for both Admins and Users. We will talk about topics such as inline commenting, renaming fields, extending process builder functionality, and recommendations for awesome tools to assist you in your day-to-day work.
"So, Now What?" (Cameron Aisenbrey, Iowa State University)	It takes time to build and implement Salesforce for your organization, but once Salesforce is up and running, what comes next? Join Iowa State University to discuss Phase Two of their implementation as they transition from simply using Salesforce to the challenges of product maintenance and development, campus expansion, and keeping up with it all.
Break
Session 2
"Events for the Connected Campus" (Thad Dahlberg & Ryan Blake, University of St. Thomas)	Events are a common denominator for all partners on a college campus. What isn’t common are the tools or processes utilized to manage and track their event registrants, creating discrepancies in data and more work to sync the data the college’s Student Information System (SIS). We’ve developed a tool, utilizing the Salesforce Platform, that is bespoke to our campus partners allowing them to create, customize and bring their registrant information into our Student Engagement System, Salesforce. Learn about why we decided to custom build and how it serves our campus partners in Admissions (Grad and Undergrad) and Alumni with the opportunity for current student events as well.
"Success in Advancement with Salesforce" (Jim Hubert, Redpath Consulting Group)	Finding new donors, growing gifts from existing supporters, building alumni engagement, and managing the back-end of fundraising requires a lot of attention to detail. This session will give you an overview of how Salesforce can help you accomplish these goals and will include an overview and demo of the new Salesforce Gift Entry Manager (GEM) application.
CumulusCI and SFDX, Not Just for Developers (Nick Lindberg, University of Minnesota)	We all are likely familiar with using sandboxes to build and test our Salesforce instances. New functionality now exists to develop using SFDX. SFDX is a modern developer experience that is source-driven, meaning you have version control. Combined with Salesforce.org's CumulusCI which is an automation layer that sits on SFDX, it can be a really powerful tool for anyone developing on Salesforce. And yes, this includes admins. This session will showcase what is SFDX and CumulusCI and how an admin can find value in using SFDX and CumulusCI.
