8 Reasons to Get Excited About Dreamforce – Reason #2

Gordon Evans Nov 13, 2009

Dreamforce is coming... in a matter of days, we’ll all be living the dream. Are you ready? We’re here to help. Check back each business day for a preview of conference activities, so you can start planning your Dreamforce agenda today.


8 REASONS TO GET EXCITED ABOUT DREAMFORCE

Reason #2: Healthy Planet, Healthy People


Healthy planet

Less paper, more biodegradable or sustainable materials, recycling stations, and encouraging public transportation... these are only a few of the ways that the Dreamforce team is working to minimize the environmental impact of Dreamforce.

We’d love for you to help! Take advantage of recycling and composting stations throughout the conference center, and quench your thirst at a water station—no need for plastic bottles. If you ride your bike, we’ve got valet bike parking. Plus, bikers and public transportation commuters can enter to win a hot new bike. Find out how we can work together towards sustainability.

Healthy people
We want you to feel good and stay healthy at Dreamforce and beyond. To help prevent H1N1 flu (swine flu), remember to wash your hands often, use tissues to cover coughs and sneezes, and don't touch your eyes, nose, and mouth. For more details on H1N1 flu prevention, visit the CDC's Web site.

Run in the cloud
Join us (early) Wednesday, November 18 at 6:45 a.m. for a 5k Fun Run, co-sponsored by Salesforce.com Alliances and Accenture. Register in the lobby of the Marriot Marquis, right across from the Moscone Center at 55 4th Street and get your blood pumping!
