Onsite sustainability at Dreamforce
Attending Dreamforce in person this year? Here are a few steps you can take to reduce your footprint onsite.
Pot succulents to help grow a local school’s garden. Join Salesforce and Neighborhood Forest at Dreamforce Gives on Howard Street to help pot succulents that will be gifted to a local school’s new garden.
Don’t let your leftovers be a waste. All of our meal packaging is 100% compostable. Confused about which bin is for what? Don’t worry, our ‘bin-credible’ Green Angel volunteers are hanging out in lunch areas to help you sort like a pro.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Once the event wraps, please leave your badge and lanyard in the designated recycling bins. We’ll handle the rest!
Spare the air. Whether you’re strolling, hopping on the bus, or cruising in an EV, we encourage all attendees to take more sustainable transportation to get to and from Moscone Center and the Dreamfest.
Trade up, don’t throw out. Skip buying new swag — head to the Earthforce-led Swag Swap on Thursday, 9/17 at Yerba Buena Gardens from 8am-10am. There, you can trade pre-loved Salesforce gear for something new-to-you. It’s your chance to score a vintage tee, a retired stuffy, or other one-of-a-kind Salesforce gear while keeping items out of the landfill.
Behind-the-scenes sustainability at Dreamforce
Here’s a peek at some of the behind-the-scenes work we’re doing to make Dreamforce more sustainable.
Pixels over paper. We’ve ditched the printer for almost everything except for hands-on workshops and roundtables, making it easier for you to save and share content while also reducing our environmental impact.
Tree-mendous news. Our leafy friends aren’t just at Dreamforce for the vibes. All of the live trees and shrubs you see at our events are rented for Dreamforce and given a second life afterward, keeping the air fresh and the planet happy.
Sustainable swag is the best swag. Instead of cluttering your suitcase with things you don’t need, we prioritize digital treats and unforgettable experiences. If you’ve got your heart set on something physical, you’ll have to head over to Earthforce’s Swag Swap (see more in the onsite sustainability section above!) or earn it through engagement in an event activity — and sustainably sourced, high-quality materials are prioritized.
Sharing is caring. We avoid landfills and support nonprofits through a robust donation program. Plus, our custom event structures are built to last and many make a comeback at future Salesforce events!
