TrailblazerDX: The Conference for Salesforce Developers & Admins

TrailblazerDX (formerly TrailheaDX) is a Salesforce event that brings together the “builders” – Salesforce Admins, Developers, and others – to be inspired to innovate within their own businesses using the Salesforce platform and show some #LowCodeLove!

The spectacular show is held annually in San Francisco and can also be attended online via Salesforce+. In 2025, the action-packed event will be taking place on March 5-6. Let’s take a look at what the event offers and some highlights from years gone by.

What Is TrailblazerDX?

While Dreamforce is Salesforce’s flagship event aimed at everyone, TrailblazerDX is aimed at anyone who is actively building on the Salesforce platform. This means the content is focused on Salesforce from a technical point of view – getting deep into Salesforce’s feature demos, the product development roadmap, and exciting announcements – a Salesforce Trailblazer’s dream!

Sessions are split into five ‘tracks’: Developer, Admin, Architect, Community & Ecosystem, and IT Leader – plus a keynote, and other sessions such as Circles of Success, run by Salesforce employees.

TrailblazerDX isn’t just about learning; it’s also about celebrating the vibrant Salesforce community, where you are treated to networking opportunities, access to industry leaders and a chance to blow off some steam, with plenty of casual events going on during the two days.

Trailblazers are also treated to a musical performance – previous years have included Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, and Fall Out Boy!

TrailblazerDX 2025

TrailblazerDX’s registration is now open for 2025 – get March 5th and 6th in your calendar, and make sure to book those tickets!

If you register before January 29, you will be eligible for early bird tickets – making the price of a ticket $199, which saves you $600. Every attendee will also get one free Salesforce certification voucher valued at $200!

Last year’s event was a hit, Trailblazers across the world got to celebrate the power of Salesforce Admins and Developers and learn in hands-on workshops (both in-person and online!). This year, we’re looking forward to more of that energy, especially after the exciting announcements at Dreamforce this year.

Whichever way you plan to attend TrailblazerDX 2025, we know you’ll have a fantastic time connecting with the community.
