Overview
TrailblazerDX 2026 runs in San Francisco on April 15 and 16, Salesforce's main conference for developers, architects, and administrators. Across the 2 days there are 6 official and community gatherings covering AI automation, testing frameworks, and DevOps practice. Plan the itinerary in advance: the networking mixers have limited capacity, and so does the official celebration at The Masonic.

Key takeaways
Register ahead where the community events ask for it, or for an approved "Request to Join" status. Keep the TDX badge on you for the celebration at The Masonic, and use the shuttles from the main event hub. On the agenda itself, the sessions that repay the time are the ones connecting AI automation, testing frameworks, and everyday DevOps practice. The community events are the less formal setting, and the easiest place to talk directly to platform experts and ecosystem leads.
