Dreamforce 18 in San Francisco is less than a week away. And while there will be a number of focal points—from CRM and customer service to marketing and ecommerce—social media will have a more robust presence than what we have seen in the past few years, which makes us excited to see what is in store.

If you’re a social media marketing professional, you might be wondering which sessions at Dreamforce will be best for you. While there are a ton of courses to choose from, there are a select handful that I think will be the most insightful based on the maturity of the social strategy being presented, the context provided, and the Salesforce products used in deployment.

But first, I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out the session I’m hosting on at noon Thursday (9/27), Getting Social: Extending Service Cloud for Social Customer Care. Social customer service is becoming more and more popular, with customers continuously turning to social media to engage and communicate with brands. During my session, I’ll show you how you can create a streamlined social customer service solution leveraging Social Studio and Service Cloud that will enable you to better solve your customers’ needs. If you’re considering a more advanced approach to social, be sure add my session to agenda builder and check out my social session recommendations below!
