The best part of Dreamforce was the time I spent with Nonprofit peeps. There were over 500 of us at the conference, out of the nearly 5,000 nonprofits that I’m told are now using Salesforce (C3 was number 400something). Tuesday night, the Foundation hosted a nonprofit networking event at the Starlight Room.
