Good morning and welcome to our live blog covering Dreamforce 2023!
Salesforce's annual conference is always a highlight of the B2B technology calendar, and we're here in San Francisco to bring you all the news and updates.
So what are we expecting this year? Short answer...AI, and lots of it. Salesforce has always been at the forefront of AI innovation, so we're expecting a whole heap of AI to help its customers around the world.
Dreamforce 2023 doesn't actually start until tomorrow (Tuesday 12 September), so this is "Day 0" - where the final touches are put on before the big launch.
That means we're busy prepping too, but we've also been out and about on an early-morning coffee run, and the Moscone Center is getting fully Salesforce-d.
Today's opening keynote is due to kick off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, and you can follow it live on the Dreamforce website here.
As usual, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff will lead proceeding, but we're expecting a host of special guests, and for AI to play a central role.
Speaking of AI, we've already had a look at some of the big news to come out of Dreamforce this morning - the company has released Einstein 1, a supercharged AI platform that brings together data from all your various platforms to create intelligent and useful suggestions.
You can read our full article above, but the launch is a key indicator that AI is going to be a major theme at Dreamforce this year.
We're through security, and into the Dreamforce "campgrounds". The crowds are already huge ahead of today's schedule kicking off in about an hour and half - but for now, we're heading to the press room for coffee and a pastry to fuel us up for the keynote.
