Dreamforce is only 18 days away (What? Are we the only ones with a Dreamforce countdown clock?!), and we’re getting super pumped. The Pardot team is extra excited about bringing back one of our favorite community spaces, The Pardot B2B Marketers Cafe at The Grove.
Tell me more. What’s this Pardot B2B Marketers Cafe all about?
Glad you asked! The B2B Marketers Cafe at The Grove is a unique community space at Dreamforce, designed for B2B marketers to recharge, refuel, network, and see exclusive sessions designed just for them. Throughout the week we’ll have sessions, birds of a feather breakfasts, yummy free food, and other opportunities to connect with your B2B marketers in a casual setting. The B2B Marketers Cafe is located at The Grove Yerba Buena, directly across from Moscone at the corner of Mission and Third.
I’m definitely stopping by! What’s on the agenda?
The B2B Marketers Cafe is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during Dreamforce. Along with amazing sessions from B2B marketing leaders and influencers, we’re also serving up all-day eats from The Grove’s incredible menu (a personal favorite is the Lavender Lemonade!). There will be fresh content every day, so stop in and see us throughout the week.
