Product Industries Pricing. Salesforce's venture arm is an investor in Automattic. Last week, Salesforce held its annual Dreamforce conference, with most of the sessions taking place virtually. Benioff said about 1, people congregated in person at the event in San Francisco. At the conference, the last one before the pandemic, more than , people attended. So it was great chatting with her. She had some really, really great insights about how she works at such a huge organization using Einstein Analytics and Tableau, and really what that specialization looks and how admins can really benefit from thinking about using some of those same approaches and strategies.
So that was really fun. But Mike, I think we had another podcast that both you and I were pretty excited too. Mike Gerholdt: I did, and I also offered up, it could be your favorite podcast too. I mean, what a way to fire up the awesome admin community in the new year, because Woodson dropped not only that, but he also dropped that he is a former admin.
I always love learning about super senior exacts who started as Salesforce admin. I highly encourage everyone to listen to it if you have not already. Mike Gerholdt: Yes. I mean, at some point, it being January and all, at some point we will have interviewed someone who will be president of the United States that was a Salesforce admin.
I have to believe that, right? Peanut butter and jelly. Gillian Bruce: Well, that was a lot of great content that we had, Mike. I still want to keep this fun vibe going for the beginning of What else you got? Mike Gerholdt: Well, I think we kicked off talking about video so we can end this portion talking about video.
Gillian Bruce: I mean, I was enjoying the Essential Habits marathon, so those deep dives that Mark put together are pretty amazing and help with all of the things you need to know to be an awesome admin. Mike Gerholdt: Yep. I concur. I thought that was the must watch videos for us in January. So then the fun thing, if you listen to the December pod, we wrapped up December and all the topics of what we enjoyed or binge watched.
Mike Gerholdt: And at home participation is encouraged, so we will give you a few seconds to think about it and just randomly shout out your answer. Gillian Bruce: Yeah, make sure you shout it really loud so people around you get really confused. Or you could put a little Twitter video together of us answering. I would enjoy that.
That would make me happy. Okay, so Gillian, I have three questions for you, all of which are, I want to know what you think which happened first, and of course I got to queue up the answers here. So Gillian, which happened first, the AppExchange or Visualforce. AppExchange launched in , and the development of Apex Visualforce and more happened in What a great segue from the Woodson Martin podcast, by the way. Mike Gerholdt: Okay, Gillian, second question.
Gillian Bruce: Well I just missed one of these as an employee by about a year or two, so I know for sure Dreamforce happened first. But I was shocked to find that Dreamforce happened in , and that was actually what helped launch the IPO.
I missed it by way more than what I thought. So nevermind. I still got the answer right. Mike Gerholdt: Dreamforce annual convention was held at the Westin Hotel in San Francisco in , and then coming off that had 8, customers and numerous potential investors. Salesforce held an initial public offering in Here we go. All right, so then ending on a fun note, because we love musicians and I think one of these is your favorite band, which happened first, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Metallica playing at Dreamforce?
Gillian Bruce: Right, before they became the house band. I very vividly remember this moment in the basement at… Well, the basement. In the big hall at Moscone, And it was for sure, my man James and Metallica rocking the house with the worst acoustics possible.
It was one of my best experiences ever. Mike Gerholdt: Ding, ding, ding, ding. So you went two out of three. That was in front of-. Gillian Bruce: Yeah, the Chili Peppers, they were in the front of city hall with the cool light show on the facade of city hall. It was pretty awesome. I miss concerts. They were the first returning band. So for those of you quiz [crosstalk ]-. The largest of them is "Kyoto. Meeting spaces accommodating six to 10 people are most frequently used at Salesforce.
This is exclusively for use when top-level executives visit from overseas. It comprises six rooms, each incorporating a meeting space. It features a video conferencing system facilitating communication with any number of countries all at once. There are several on the same floor. It's a comfortable space conducive to fruitful discussions.
The glass is translucent, however, so participants should not get too relaxed. Each floor is equipped with this multi-purpose area. The area boasts a color scheme specially created by designer Donald Kohn.
Unlike the other floors, the space features a very sophisticated color scheme. The column color, however, is the same as the one employed on the 12th and 13th floors, to underscore the overall sense of connection.
Emphasis was placed on creating a relaxed environment, and one can see across the space as there are no high partitions employed. This is an open space established in one portion of the corridor. The walls are comprised of whiteboards which can be used freely by employees. The space was developed on the concept of "a place for adults to play" and is not divided, encouraging all to use the space as they wish.
As the name suggests, this is a place for employees to gather and discuss strategy while standing. This room is ideal for very short, focused discussions. And, as you might expect from a company such as Salesforce that relies on speed, employees generally look to finish meetings that are scheduled to take half an hour in 10 minutes.
These are seats for one person attached to the wall. They were specially ordered and equipped based on requests from staff members. As the sidewalls are rather deeply recessed, one can sit in one of these seats and not be seen by others. Designed on the premise that people will bring their computers and work here, these seats may increase going forward depending on the frequency of use. This is the 'evolved' version of the same space on the 12th and 13th floors.
With the objective of having this serve as a multi-purpose space, furniture is equipped with tires and it is easy to keep clean. The space also features a kitchen and dishwasher, allowing the hosting of parties and other gatherings. The Shop on the 11th floor includes a recently established "Foundation" area, where the company's CSR activities and achievements are displayed. Instead of packing items for donation in cardboard boxes, we pack them in glass-paneled cases to further illustrate the activities in which the company is involved.
