Kenny Rogers just dropped in to find out what condition his condition was in. Thankfully Einstein has his mobile handy and uses it to differentiate Kenny’s measles from his prickly heat. Enough of hotdogs, let’s get real.

Using the Einstein Vision API we’ll create a custom, cross-platform, offline-enabled mobile app that can identify various skin conditions. We’ll look at Einstein models, training, REST API and using all this from an image capturing mobile device.

GDPR is looming, but do we really know as SFDC developers / administrators or partners what real steps we should be taking?

There is a lot of documentation out there explaining what GDPR is, but it’s more difficult to understand how we should be designing SFDC solutions to be compliant.

This session will explain how to approach the new EU law concerning personal data processing (GDPR) in your Salesforce org. Cut through the misconceptions and myths, and hear about practical and pragmatic approaches.

Platform Events opened the door to native event-driven software architecture. As developers and architects, we now need to rethink our applications’ architecture to take advantage of this new paradigm.

In this session I will present how Platform Events impact existing and new architectures. You will learn about new solutions for external system integrations, module and package decoupling and extending standard platform features.

Salesforce Quick Actions and Global Actions are very useful and can be used in many different ways. Of course there are the basics of replacing URL hacks with Actions but they can now do so much more! From replacing Web to Lead and Web to Case in Communities, to showing key details and visual indicators to your users and all the way to building modular lightning pages! New features in Winter 18 and Spring 18 will be shown. You will definitely want to go back to your org and create a few Actions after this talk.

Although Lightning has been around for several years, there are still many developers who primarily use Visualforce and Salesforce Classic to get things done. I know this because until recently I was one of them.

This talk is for developers out there who are looking to take their first steps into the world of Lightning, and want to know how effectively to make the transition. I will cover some of the practical lessons I learned while completing my first lightning project, and talk through creating components, working with JavaScript and SLDS, and the differences between the frameworks.

Salesforce DX is transforming the way we customize orgs and build apps, but Salesforce has never asked developers or admins to use command line tools before.

In this session you’ll get a primer for the basics of command lines, how they work, and hands on demonstration of common and powerful commands and functions, along with a few Salesforce DX features that will benefit admins and developers alike. You’ll walk away ready to tackle any command line problem as you learn that if you’ve ever written a formula field, you can just as easily use a command line.

Being offline needn’t mean being unproductive. In this session I’ll show how to use the Salesforce Mobile SDK with offline support to allow users to complete simple training modules regardless of whether they are on or offline. Put the commute to London to good use.

With all the talk about Allies in Tech, some are still curious:

• What does it mean?
• How do you BE one?
• What do I do?

IF you have these questions, then this session is for you!

We all work in a very diverse world and sometimes inadvertently do not put our best feet forward. This session will review inherent bias, where it comes from, and tactical ways to recognize and overcome our biases to be better allies to all of those around us. You’ll leave this session with a few working tactics to take back to your own environments.

Pardot or Marketing Cloud? The choice isn’t as simple as B2B or B2C.

Join Salesforce marketing experts and MVPs Chris Zullo and Stephanie Foerst as they explain the differences (and similarities!) between Salesforce’s marketing tools as they go head to head in duelling marketing content creation.

This session is for any Salesforce Admin who appreciates the power of custom page layouts in Classic and is excited to learn the possibilities in Lightning Experience.

Let’s open an investigation into page layouts in Lightning Experience, inspecting the source for each panel and component to ensure that we’re making the most of new features, and still leveraging the work already done in Classic.

Training very often falls to the Salesforce Admin to deliver, but we may not all be experienced or natural teachers.

In this session I will talk through why well planned and delivered training will lead to higher levels of user adoption and I will provide guidance for new admins, or those new to training, in how to plan and deliver successful end-user training.

Stakeholders come in all shapes and sizes, levels of ability, and have different motivations in the context of a Salesforce implementation.

Handling this madness is key to successful implementation. Learn how to quantifiably say ‘no’, how to deal with tricky stakeholders at any level up to CEO, and come out the other end with a great result – with recent examples from my experience.

What happens when you finding yourself taking a leap for what you think is a great opportunity and the landscape changes multiple times? Do you freak out or embrace the change? Does the thought of making large changes fill you with anxiety? Large changes have always made me anxious but after making a series of them and ending up in a place that was not ideal for me, I took control and opted to stop, reflect and decide on a new path.

Come on my journey and see how my time out helped me find perspective and a new path.

Apps like DreamHouse or Pure Aloe are great showcases of what you can do as a developer by connecting several bits of the Lightning Platform. Base Lightning Components, Platform Events, Heroku, Salesforce DX, and others are just some of the examples of what you can and should use.

Let’s dive together into the world of connecting those bits. Lots of code will be shown – and maybe also a wig.

Do you have a legacy Salesforce instance built in classic that you’d like to migrate to Lightning? And do you wish somebody told you what (potentially costly) mistakes to avoid and ensure stability and robustness?

I will walk you through tips, tricks and strategies acquired from real-world migration projects.

Working in tech we are being bombarded with claims about AI. There are many conflicting views. Will we be living in utopia or become extinct as the movies would have us believe.

In this short sharp thought provoking session we will step through some of the recent commentary and Emma will share her thoughts from across industries to inspire you to form yours.

When a sales team is commissioned to hit tough targets their admin responsibilities might be the last thing on their mind. The customer journey from sale to invoicing and account management can get affected. I’ll talk through how Implementing Salesforce CPQ and DocuSign brought visibility and control to internal processes and the lessons we learnt.

In today’s world of multiple best-of-breed SaaS apps, everyone understands that integration is a critical box on the IT checklist. But what has to be considered in your integration approach that will help drive your overall success? Integration is a funny thing: In a perfect world, no one knows about it. No one talks about it. But everyone reaps its benefits. Done correctly it provides incredible upsides to the entire project, but if done poorly can herald the destruction of a project just as quickly.

This is for anyone who has questions or wants to share experience around data integration.

Data and application silos create process inefficiencies from lead generation to revenue management, and have a definitive impact on the customer experience. Many businesses today are looking for an “all-in-one” solution for their business apps. They understand Salesforce has the potential to become a fully integrated, comprehensive, cloud-based business solution to manage their complete Lead-2-Cash and Procure-2-Pay processes.

We’ll look at steps to transform finance and accounting on the Salesforce platform to: Accelerate business processes by avoiding the need to re-key data. Gain a complete 360 degree visibility into your business. Real time analytics for faster decision making.

Your employees are consumers too—they fly on JetBlue, ride in Ubers, they shop on Amazon, they stay at high-end hotel chains and pay with American Express. On a regular basis, they’re interacting with companies that deliver some of the best customer experiences. But when they come to work, do they find the same levels of excellence from your service desk?

In this session you will learn how to: Deliver service to every employee through one service desk. Extends beyond IT to support all business departments. Gain ITSM and CMDB functionality out of the box from with Salesforce

If it’s not in Salesforce it doesn’t exist” — right?

Wrong.

With thousands of new SaaS applications popping up, not to mention GDPR sensitive data, API-enabled services, on-premise systems, databases, excel spreadsheets, custom applications, mobile apps, etc., business-critical data is everywhere and much of it is invisible to Salesforce.

Showing how everyone using Salesforce can employ a user centred UX/UI approach to all aspects of Salesforce config/development from internal orgs to enterprise level applications which can lead to real business value and change, from increasing customer bases, reducing inefficiency and increasing revenue through simple easy changes everyone can make.

Many admins have made custom metadata records to configure apps written by devs, but some have gone further—creating types as part of their own low/no code solutions.

We’ll talk about some ways people are doing this today and then dive into our plans for the future of code-free custom metadata use.

JLINC Labs has launched the “JLINC Contacts” Salesforce app to allow admins and developers to have a simple solution for the difficult problem of GDPR personal data permissioning.
