Dreamforce 2011: Day One Debrief
By: Amanda Nelson
Walking by downtown San Francisco’s Moscone Center revealed an awe-inspiring sight. The massive sea of eager faces blanketed the streets with the blue backdrop of the Dreamforce 2011 color scheme. Yes, it was day one of the world’s largest cloud computing event and a few sessions, demos, presentations and booth visits are already under our belts.
But today’s post is not a recap of those sessions, demos, presentations and booth visits. We’re looking to you to give us your debriefing on yesterday’s kick off day! So use the comments below to write your synopsis. Whether you’re an event staff member, a Radian6er, a customer, partner, colleague or just a Dreamforce dreamer, we want to hear your thoughts. After all, isn’t the social enterprise all about collaboration? Join in!

I had some fun doing a short video of my feelings after my first ever day at Dreamforce! This is about take 30 and the best I could do- sorry about the strange noise as I move things around. Can't wait to hear how everyone else enjoyed the day! http://youtu.be/GFtmAi4ad3o
Dreamforce kicked off to an amazing start. The interest at the Radian6 booth was incredible with everyone being very impressed with the capabilities of Radian6. Lot's of people were very engaged in the platform and were eager for more information.
The sheer size and energy of Dreamforce of amazing. The keynote this morning only added to that!
What an amazing experience! I feel proud to be part of the Salesforce organization and to have the priviledge to participate in this incredible conference, having the opportunity to partake in the dialogue and the terrific conversations with folks from around the globe!
It's been an amazing experience and a whirlwind! I love engaging with the Dreamforce community and hearing all the comments and feedback. Keep on sharing, folks!
Having an amazing DF11 – the keynote today was amazing. Angela Ahrendts Neil Young, MC Hammer. Benioff is such an inspiration. Right now the panel being hosted by David Alston has been very enlightening! Gary Vaynerchuk is so witty in his observations of social media – and so right!
This is my 3rd DreamForce conference with Radian6 and it just keeps getting better.
LOVED Benioff's Keynote today! The commentary on cloud computing, tablets, and CRM was though provoking. Shame to see Microsoft offering switching incentives and Oracle walking the streets with "#1 CRM" clouds on the eve of this event though. #classy
This is my first Dreamforce. Hard to put into perspective there are 45,000+ registered attendees here. The sessions and speakers have been just amazing. Having the opportunity to meet new people, collaborate with my peers, some of whom I haven't met until now has been priceless. A first class conference without a doubt. Well done Salesforce!!
Truly incredible experience! It's amazing to see how many people are involved and excited about social media and social enterprise. This is my very first year coming to Dreamforce and I've been blown away. I can't imagine what next year will be like. (Seriously, Neil Young!!)
Loving Dreamforce11 so far. The sessions are interesting, excitement is in the air and there's a street party tonight. What more could you ask for in a conference?
