Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce 2025 event in San Francisco focuses on revolutionising customer experience through AI, data, and automation, showcasing industry-leading innovations, certifications, and the integration of human and AI collaboration to reshape enterprise customer success strategies.
Dreamforce 2025, set to take place from October 14 to 16 in San Francisco and virtually via Salesforce+, promises to be a pivotal event dedicated to Customer Success. This year’s gathering positions customer experience innovation at its heart, with a clear focus on leveraging data, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation to reshape how businesses foster deeper, more productive relationships with their customers.
One of the standout moments at Dreamforce will be the Customer Success Keynote, themed “Build Your Agentic Enterprise.” It will spotlight how leading companies are reimagining customer success by blending human ingenuity with AI-powered technologies. Attendees will learn practical methods to enhance efficiency, accelerate business growth, and strengthen customer bonds. The keynote will also feature presentations from three Customer Success Award winners showcasing pioneering real-world applications. Moreover, attendees in San Francisco have the unique opportunity to win an exclusive meet and greet with Emmy-nominated entertainer Kumail Nanjiani, adding a special cultural highlight to the programme.
Attendees can also engage with a curated selection of top Customer Success sessions focusing on Salesforce’s Agentforce—a suite of AI agents designed to transform service and sales operations. Sessions like “How to Build a Scalable Agentforce Center of Excellence” and “How Salesforce Personalizes AI Service with Agentforce” delve into the nuances of implementing AI at scale and crafting bespoke AI-driven experiences for customers. These talks underscore an industry-wide push towards AI integration that combines human expertise with intelligent automation to deliver personalised, efficient service.
Dreamforce 2025 is more than a conference; it’s a comprehensive learning environment designed to sharpen professional skills and accelerate careers. The event features immersive Trailblazer Bootcamps offering deep dives into Salesforce’s Data Cloud and Agentforce specialisms. These bootcamps provide hands-on training to master data ingestion, modelling, AI support for customer experience, and configuring data clouds for seamless AI deployment. Participants have the chance to earn valuable Salesforce certifications across various tracks, including Agentforce for Service Specialist and Data Cloud Specialist, enhancing both knowledge and credentials in the competitive tech marketplace.
Hands-on learning is firmly emphasised, with interactive sessions led by Salesforce experts who guide attendees through building AI agents, connecting workflows, and testing new tools in real-time Salesforce environments. These practical exercises enable participants to directly apply skills to business scenarios, ensuring the learning transcends theory and drives immediate value. As a bonus, those attending in person can enjoy 1:1 expert consultations at the Dreamforce Lounges, facilitating tailored guidance on their AI and customer success journeys.
The broader context of Dreamforce’s AI focus is reflected in Salesforce’s wider strategy. CEO Marc Benioff recently revealed that Salesforce’s deployment of Agentforce AI agents has already allowed the company to reduce its customer support workforce by nearly 4,000 roles without any drop in productivity. AI now handles approximately 1.5 million customer interactions effectively, maintaining satisfaction rates comparable to human agents. This underscores a significant trend in business operations where AI augments human workforces to deliver higher efficiencies without sacrificing quality.
Furthermore, Infosys’s participation at Dreamforce 2025 highlights the event’s emphasis on “Live Intelligent Enterprise” transformation, driven by an AI-first approach. According to Infosys, this strategy centres on using Agentforce and AI to create industry-specific solutions, synergise data and AI for competitive advantage, and develop responsible AI systems that maintain human-agent collaboration. This positions Dreamforce not just as a showcase for tools, but as a platform for discussing ethical AI deployment and sustainable innovation.
Underpinning these developments is Salesforce’s ongoing commitment to advancing AI capabilities within enterprise software. Research like the SCUBA benchmark, developed to evaluate AI agents on Salesforce’s customer relationship management workflows, demonstrates the complexity and critical importance of integrating AI in areas such as software navigation, data management, workflow automation, and problem-solving within customer success environments.
Ultimately, Dreamforce 2025 exemplifies the accelerating evolution of customer success through AI-powered innovation and human-AI collaboration. Whether in-person or online, participants will gain access to rich, actionable insights, hands-on experience, and expert advice designed to help businesses and professionals harness AI’s potential effectively while cultivating authentic, impactful customer relationships.
