Kia ora and welcome to 2020! We are starting the year as we mean to go on, with monthly Trailblazer community group meetings planned, so for the first time ever, we are kicking off SF Welly's year's events in January.

Fujitsu are kindly hosting us as we kick off 2020 for SF Welly, come and join the local Salesforce Ohana for a light lunch in Fujitsu's offices, centrally located on The Terrace. 

Dreamforce 2019 was held in San Francisco in late November. This was too close to the extended Kiwi holiday season for us to have been able to report back to everyone on what happened there prior to Xmas, so join us on January 30th for our annual post-Dreamforce Global Gathering event, which will primarily be focused on Dreamforce. You will hear from some #SFWelly locals who attended Dreamforce, and find out about their experiences. Also hear about the major Dreamforce announcements, and of course enjoy the usual Wellington networking. There will be a swag pack for all attendees (*while stocks last* - so don't be late!). Salesforce have also granted us an amazing THREE certification voucher to give away (yes, THREE - and these are also valid for the more expensive designer certificates), and there will also be other prize draws, including two backpacks.

I will be able to share with you at our meeting the exciting news about our very own New Zealand Salesforce Trailblazer community organised event - Kiwi Dreaming. All going well, this will be held in Auckland on May 7th - watch out for the official announcement coming soon.

Ahead of our Global Gathering event on January 30th I would like to encourage you to hold the date Wednesday 4th March and plan to get across to Sydney for the largest annual Salesforce free event in the ANZ region - Sydney World Tour (**registrations now open, be in quick: https://www.salesforce.com/au/events/worldtour/syd20/overview/).

As at all our SF Welly events - ALL SALESFORCE OHANA WELCOME - you don't need to be currently connected to the Salesforce ecosystem. We warmly welcome students and those wishing to know more or keen to find a role within the Salesforce  ecosystem.

Any registration issues or general queries please email me anna.loughnan@trailblazercgl.com - I am always happy to help out with any requests.
