What to bring to Dreamforce

Well, if you told me in 2010 that I would be attending Dreamforce 4 times in row (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015), I would have called you crazy. However, over the last 4 conferences, I have learned quite a bit about what plan, pack, and do to make one of the most intense weeks of your life a little easier. Are you attending Dreamforce this year? If so, here are my recommendations:

Halo MCC Launch/My Love Affair with Halo

not so sterne photography, joe sterne, halo, beechwood, cleveland, microsoft store

This past week I got to attend the Halo: Master Chief Collection midnight launch at the Microsoft store in Beachwood. While I didn’t pick up my copy there (preordered from Amazon), I did want to experience the joy that is a midnight launch party again.  Why would I attend a midnight launch of a game during a “school night”? The answer lies roughly 11 years in the past.

Last week, I boarded a plane with a few of my coworkers and flew back to my former home (San Francisco) for one of the largest conferences that city can hold- Dreamforce. This was an culmination of months of top-secret work that a variety of coworkers and I worked on to build something completely new. It is called Prototype Playground- a place where the enterprise could see what we are learning about and creating when it comes to wearable technology. During the conference, it was a huge hit. As the dust settles, we discovered what we pulled off was nothing short of astonishing.
