Hendrik Verbeek: What do the AppExchange & Guide Dogs Have in Common?

Investigating AppExchange solutions should be the first place to look when there's a requirement for new Salesforce functionality.

Hendrik Verbeek will be able to explain exactly what the connection is between guide dogs and Salesforce's AppExchange. Hendrik will share with us Blind Low Vision NZ's story, showing just why the AppExchange should always be your first port of call when you're considering new functionality. There will be puppies. And savings. Many savings!

Hendrik, who'll be dialling in from Auckland, will share with us how he and Blind Low Vision NZ discovered an existing app on the AppExchange that ended up saving them many thousands of dollars.

**There will be a certification voucher to give away - you will need to be dialled in to be in the draw!**

Our usual Wednesday Zoom slot, 12 noon 1st July. All Ohana welcome, please check spam for Zoom link info on the morning.

**BREAKING NEWS!**

Trailhead Academy have just announced a platform developer 1 bootcamp!

Remember the admin bootcamp - that was so popular with our #SFWelly Ohana? Now there's a developer version...

Register by July 31 and pay $199 USD instead of $900 USD, which includes a PD1 certification voucher, usually $200 USD.

Trailhead Virtual Bootcamp for Platform Developer I is a blended, prescriptive, expert-led training program that gives you a 6 week plan to learn what you need to become a Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I.

Twice a week, you will have the opportunity to tune in and review each week’s learning with your instructor and the chance for Q&A with fellow students. The instructor sessions (30-minute Q&A on Wednesdays and 90-minute review on Fridays) start at the same time every week (but note this might mean Thursday and Saturday NZT). If you register for a program that lists a scheduled start time of 4:00 p.m., all instructor sessions for the 6-week program will start at 4:00 p.m.
