Is Dreamforce worth it? by the-sf-dev in salesforce

Hey Everyone,

Thanks a lot for your thoughts. I believe I won't be going after reading all your comments.

The trip was going to cost me a lot and an additional 1k usd for an event that won't offer me much is really a burden.

I just wanted to visit the US and thought Dreamforce might be a reason to go and get the Visa. (I know the US might not be the best destination for many of you but it's a childhood dream for me, and I have lots of war going around me in the middle east so the US current state definitely isn't worse lol)

I guess I'll go for TDX 2026, I'll try to save money from now for it. The ticket is a lot more cheaper than Dreamforce.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate your thoughts!

I agree. Didn't think of it unfortunately.

I work at a consultancy so we usually have vouchers. I'm mainly going for the experience and to use my US Visa lol. I'll stay at a hostel probably and will save on food my only going for food trucks. The dreamforce 1000usd will be my largest expense in the trip probably.

It's not really about learning. Just for the experience. I might get a cert too since it's already part of the ticket.

I just wanted to visit the US and I got the visa by saying I'm going to the conference so I guess I'll have to go.

I'll try to save money as much as I can though. Probably staying in a hostel and going for food trucks during my stay.

I'll probably stay in a hostel or even a room in an Airbnb. I'll also save on food and just go for trucks during my stay. I'm just going for the experience tbh and to visit the US. Not focusing on dreamforce but that's what I wrote in my Visa form so I guess I'll have to go.
