Onsite sustainability at Dreamforce

Attending Dreamforce in person this year? Here are a few steps you can take to reduce your footprint onsite.

Compost, don’t waste. All of our meal packaging is 100% compostable. We have staff posted in lunch areas to help you sort your waste correctly.

Recycle your badge. Salesforce is offering badge and lanyard recycling. Once the event is over, leave your badge and lanyard in the specially designated badge/lanyard recycling bins, and we’ll make sure they get recycled.

Spare the air. We encourage all attendees to walk, take public transport, or order an EV/hybrid rideshare to go to and from Dreamforce at Moscone Center and Dreamfest at the Chase Center.

Bike bliss. Bike valet makes it easy and worry-free to bike to Dreamforce. Just leave your bike at the free bike valet located behind Moscone South.

Behind-the-scenes sustainability at Dreamforce

Here’s a peek at some of the behind-the-scenes work we’re doing to make this year’s Dreamforce more sustainable.

Digital over print. We’ve eliminated almost all printed materials except those provided in interactive sessions such as hands-on-trainings, workshops, and roundtables. We’re replacing printed paper with digital assets, making it easier for you to save and share helpful information while reducing our environmental impact.

We nurture nature. All of the live trees and shrubs at Salesforce events are reused and continue to sequester carbon.

Donation nation. We avoid landfills and support nonprofits through a robust donation program. Additionally, many of our custom built structures will be reused at future Salesforce events.
