Inspirational Quotes from the Luminaries of Dreamforce

Over the years, some of the world’s most inspiring people have taken to the Dreamforce stage. And this year is no different, as another host of visionary speakers have been announced to open our eyes to industry trends and to tell us how they use Salesforce to connect with their customers in new ways.

This year, we can expect insights from Marc Benioff, (Chairman and CEO of Salesforce, Jessica Alba, (Founder of The Honest Company), Susan Wojcicki (CEO of YouTube) and George Colony (CEO of Forrester), to name but a few. (See the full list here).

As we look forward to another action-packed, fun, buzzing Dreamforce in just three weeks’ time, we thought we’d be remiss not to reminisce on some of the most inspirational and thought-provoking quotes from some of the great minds of last year’s Dreamforce for you to enjoy.
