Dreamforce is definitely not an "AI event". I know that Salesforce themselves are billing it as an AI event, but nobody in attendance considers it an AI event, including Salesforce themselves. They announced some new platform called "Agentforce", which seems to be a rebranding of some existing AI features with some new vaporware thrown in for good measure. [1] The audience for Dreamforce is mostly non-technical (managers, sales, etc), and they are mostly there to drink a little Salesforce kool-aid, meet up with other industry contacts, and enjoy a free trip to SF on the company tab. I went one year with a couple of coworkers, and we spent 80% of our time at a local restaurant that Salesforce had rented out and turned into an open bar. Check out the keynote to get a sense of what Dreamforce events are actually like [2]. Yes, that is Jim Cramer sitting in the front row and high fiving Mark Benioff. Definitely ripe for mockery, and I imagine Mulaney's set went over well with a lot of the attendees too, who are probably getting pretty tired of Salesforce's dog and pony show after a couple days at Dreamforce, and are looking for some release.
