I went a few years back when this tour was just launched. I enjoyed the Lightning components deep-dive by Greg Rewis and his team. It’s a a 2-day workshop by Salesforce, designed to teach you about Lightning Experience and how your business can benefit from it. First day conceptual, second day hands-on!
Very helpful. My results: Soon after, I made a video: Salesforce lightning benefits for sales AEs and Managers/ and am now a ‘Lightning first’- Salesforce Consultant.

MAY
MAY 6, 2019 | PHILADELPHIA, US – Philly Force. My Twitter friend and conference founder, Alexandre Sutherland, inspired me to mention also this Salesforce Community-led Conference individually here. The full-day affair is mostly geared to Salesforce Developers (they’ll have things of interest for other Salesforce professionals who prefer not to code).
MAY 23, 2019 | LONDON, UK – Salesforce World Tour London. The first time I went to a World Tour event was in Milan, Italy. If felt like a summer party, in a ball room. In subsequent years – like for the last 5 years – I have been going to the London World Tours.
The first event in London was small! – Just marginally bigger than Italy’s ballroom affair. The Heron Tower was still called that instead of Salesforce Tower. A long time ago.
Things grew fast. Last year, London World Tour was popping! A sold-out event. Brimming with information, inspiration and networking opportunities. I got quite a lot of answers from the Health Cloud experts there, which I put to good use. Thank you. The annual Salesforce World Tours are highly recommended events, and I’m sure there is one in a city near you. Tweet #Salesforcetour and you’ll get your answers.
