Dreamforce ’17 Trail Map: The Best Sessions for K-12

Dreamforce is right around the corner and we are excited to be launching Salesforce for K-12 at the conference this year!
Now that Agenda Builder is live, you can see that there are over 3,000 sessions to choose from. That can be daunting, so we thought we’d give you a rundown of our favorite sessions for K-12. Here’s what we think would make for an amazing learning experience for education leaders at Dreamforce. This list is not exhaustive ― it’s just meant to help you jumpstart your Dreamforce planning.
