Dreamforce 2011: too many attendees but Oracle is worried

Source: Mike Rosenbaum, VP Platform, Marketing and Operations

Dreamforce 2011 San Francisco attendees

  • 44,000 registrations 
  • 30,000 attendees 
  • 2,700 C-level executives and Vice Presidents 
The crowds are staggering - really there are just too many people, which is negatively impacting the experience. However, the sheer volumes show the rise and rise of Salesforce as a company. 

The sessions are good and provide useful insights. 

Amazing to see Oracle outside on the street flying balloons to say they are number 1 for CRM. I would say this is a lead indicator that Oracle are worried about their future as they slip further behind the cloud leaders. 

Salesforce is really attracting the business community as the tech heads are being relegated to a minority group. Sanity at last as business takes ownership of technology.
