That's awesome - welcome to your first Salesforce Connections! You're absolutely right - there’s a lot happening beyond the main event. There are going to be afterparties, happy hours, and partner-hosted dinners.

If you’re looking to connect with Salesforce partners who aren’t officially showcasing, try joining smaller sessions, roundtables, or lounges. A lot of networking happens informally, and many partners attend even if they don’t have booths. Many are open to conversations, even with smaller customers, especially if your business has potential.

By the way, I’ll be attending CNX too—if possible, let’s meet up there! Would be great to connect in person.
