A Designer’s Guide to TDX ’24

Looking for design at TrailblazerDX ’24, the AI conference for the AI era? We’ve got you covered. 

The Trailblazer community is coming back together on March 6-7, 2024, in San Francisco and on Salesforce+. We’re in the midst of one of the biggest revolutions in application development. So it’s time to get the skills you need to lead your company into the future.

At TDX, you’ll learn how to accelerate your design and development process and help us build our user experience with AI. Attend any or all of our five design sessions and swing by Camp Design in the Trailblazer Forest for deep dives with our experts in design, usability, and research. 

Excited? We hope so! Here’s a guide for what’s in store for you at TDX ’24 whether you’re joining our AI conference in person or watching on Salesforce+.  

Skill up at Camp Design

Everyone is invited to Camp Design. Participate in activities that will explain the building blocks behind Einstein Copilot, a new generative AI-powered conversational assistant for every Salesforce application. 

While you’re there, influence the future of our user experience by giving feedback on prototypes of products including Salesforce Starter and Einstein Copilot. Your voice matters, so let’s co-create and embrace user research together.

Afterward, your design education continues on multiple stages at the AI conference of the year.

Attend sessions led by our UX designers

In addition to getting the latest product news at the main keynote and sharing your feedback at True to the Core, we’ve got several design-focused sessions for you, too.
