What. A. Dreamforce!

We hope your week in San Francisco was as eventful as Odaseva’s! It was wonderful to meet everyone who stopped by our booth, watched our speaking sessions, attended our Lunch & Learns and Coffee Connects, and of course our jam-packed Happy Hour.

The Foo Fighters invited Odaseva’s VP of Product Engineering, Raphaël Fonrouge up on stage during Dreamfest to close out  “Everlong,” one of their top songs!

Raph has been in a Foo Fighters tribute band in Paris for years, and it was one of his life's dreams to play with them. Thanks in part to Salesforce, that dream came true!

Watch the video here.

A dream come true.

Food and drinks and friends at our Happy Hour
