Process Automation Revisited: From Chaos to Structure, Paweł Dobrzynski (@PDobrzynski), 201 level
Declarative automation is a great tool that helps automate processes without using the code.
But as your system develops the growing number of workflows start to interfere and things do not always go as expected. With the recent introduction of record triggered flows, the landscape changes even more, and admins should revisit their approach to process automation.
In this session we will walk through the best practices of building flows, and present some tips and tricks on how to avoid common mistakes. You will also learn how you can organise your flows to effectively manage the increasing complexity and keep your automation predictable.
10:00
Having serious fun with lwc-datatable and Large Data Volume, Christian Knapp (@ch_sz_knapp) & Christian Menzinger (@chris_menzinger), 201 level
Interactive data-tables are awesome and a challenge – LWC’s lightning-datatable is no exception. It has many, useful features, lots of documentation and can handle various use cases from working with single fields to several records.
Loading Salesforce records with a fixed set of fields and a fixed set of column labels is straightforward and quickly done.
What about the next level, though? Loading a related list for example? Sortable. Searchable. Displaying the table in the user’s end language, with translated columns and values, too, where supported. Scanning a Large Data Volume like 70.000 records.
This talk will not provide a solution. It will focus on the path to a possible solution: Given all these requirements, where do I start? Where and how do I get test records? And 70k! Should sorting happen in the datatable or should Apex do the lifting? Which APIs do I use? When? How often? Where? Why?
Join us for a bit of code and lots of serious, honest experience sharing.
10:00
Three pillars and Seven specializations – Product Development Outsourcers Program in a nutshell, Jakub Stefaniak, 101 level

Managing Complexity in Salesforce, David Felkel, 201 level
Complexity kills – Simplicity is robust. There is a strong correlation between the size of an org and its complexity. The more complex your org becomes, the harder it is to maintain and the costlier your development endeavours become. But where does complexity come from and how can it be avoided?
10:00
Real-time personalization at scale by Salesforce CDP and Interaction Studio, Ekaterina Obolenskaya (@EkatObolenskaya) & Samuel Liska, 201 level

Intro to the Nonprofit Success Pack, Trish Perkins
Salesforce gives ten free Enterprise Salesforce licenses to qualifying nonprofits all over the world.
Sometimes, just encountering Salesforce for the first time can feel overwhelming for a nonprofit that has, heretofore, relied on spreadsheets or simple databases to keep track of their work.
Trish has been working with this NPSP package since its first iteration, and enjoys taking her clients through a “Kick the Tires” session– a walkthrough of what comes with the package, including some features that many nonprofits don’t know they need or want.
We’ll walk through our engagement with a contact, Minnie Mouse, and all the ways that she and her family are involved in our organization. Our tour will take us through Fundraising, Program Management and Volunteer Management. We’ll look at the basic Nonprofit Success Pack objects.

Salesforce DevOps Maturity Matrix, Anna Walach, 401 level
How mature is your release process? We would like to think that we have almost forgotten about the times when state-of-the-art release process involved only ANT, few sandboxes and version control system. The truth is, many Salesforce projects still do not care about sfdx cli, are reluctant to try out scratch orgs and automated testing is considered too much hustle. In the modern world, an efficient DevOps strategy is key to an agile, but robust release process.
Not many materials exist to help set up advanced Devops process for Salesforce. Come and learn about what are the different areas that should be considered when designing a great release process, but also what are the different stages of advancement for each of those areas. Do you need to develop everything in-house? Or maybe use some existing frameworks? Or maybe there are feature-full solutions that you can just deploy? Let’s discuss methods that can be applied in different environments to find out the best strategy to get from where you are now to reach a desired ambition level of improvement and efficiency.
11:00

Combining EDA & API-led Connectivity through MuleSoft for integrating Salesforce with multiple ERPs, Marcelo Caponi, 201 level
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) has been widely adopted for companies looking to accelerate their digital transformation. These companies realized that batch-based, point-to-point Integrations slow down the business and leave a technical debt. EDA improves the ability to react to changes in real-time and improves the overall customer experience. API-led connectivity approach unlocks data through APIs allowing companies to create a composable business. In this session, I will share how to integrate Salesforce with multiple ERPs by combining EDA & API-led Connectivity through MuleSoft.

How to work with risks in Salesforce projects?, Tomáš Holý (@enehanosolution), 201 level
When it comes to risks, everyone usually knows that we need to care for them during the project, but how, when, and what is the main purpose is harder to understand. So let us focus on catching how risks impact the project price. How they differ project by project.
I will also compare risks in agile to traditional models giving you examples specifically for Salesforce projects. Last but not least is managing risks in Bodyshop or Fixed Time & Fixed Price contract model.
Do not underestimate risks in your projects. It is a key factor for successful delivery.
11:00
The tooling Api demystified, It is not only for developers, Doria Hamelryk (@doriahamelryk), Fabrice Challier, 201 level
We all know that moment when you are running a Salesforce project for a couple of months (or even years), and we need to do a configuration review.
Which field is not used anywhere, which permission set is assigned to which user, do we have duplicates in our custom labels…
Tricky right?
What if you had the opportunity to retrieve all this info with just a query.
And be sure, Admins will use it even more than developers
11:30
Business analytical craft in context of Salesforce implementation, Jan Zámostný, 201 level
Should we follow the general business analytical approach on Salesforce projects? Should all BA’s be BABOK certified? Is business analysis a different job when implementing SF?

Do you like these questions, and have many more?
Let’s try to find answers together!

Database periscope: an alternative to custom fields, Igor Chtivelband, 201 level
Business decisions taken by Salesforce users are often made based on data coming from other systems (e.g. data submitted by customers through the company website). To facilitate these decisions Salesforce teams have to configure additional custom fields and plug them into data pipelines. This is a tedious process that might be frustrating, not only for developers, who have to maintain myriads of custom fields but also for the end-users, who have to wait weeks until a new field with the desired data appears in their layout.
Recently I have realized that there are two types of entity attributes in our Salesforce organization: those that trigger automatic events (e.g. email dispatch) and those that are observed by human eyes only. The latter attributes do not have to be BROUGHT into Salesforce, it is enough if they are only SHOWN there.
That is why in Billie we have developed a generic Lightning Web Component, named “Database periscope”, which is placed on an Account/Contact/Opportunity object and which shows data directly from the backend database to the end-user. When a record is opened in Salesforce by a user, this component issues an asynchronous call-out with the data request, receives JSON with all the available attributes and presents them in a grid.
This component saved us many hours of development and gave internal stakeholders access to data in real-time.
In my presentation, I would like to explain step-by-step how a similar solution can be built and discuss its advantages and limitations.

Recurring Revenue: Custom pricing models against standardized billing tools, Michal Mach, 201 level
Have you experienced issues with measuring recurring revenue in Salesforce? The goal of my story is to show reasons why small and medium-sized companies keen on a custom development for their own pricing models. Moreover, if companies continue to grow, they are looking for a standardized billing solution such as Salesforce Revenue Cloud (CPQ + Billing). The question is why?
First, I will introduce the topic by definitions of recurring revenue and this type of business. Then, I mention the specific reasons why some companies choose their own solutions in Salesforce and custom pricing.
Subsequently, I compare why this approach is not suitable in the long term and how the choice of a standardized billing tool (including Salesforce Revenue Cloud) helps the companies grow further.

Process Automation Revisited: From Chaos to Structure, Paweł Dobrzynski (@PDobrzynski), 201 level
Declarative automation is a great tool that helps automate processes without using the code.
But as your system develops the growing number of workflows start to interfere and things do not always go as expected. With the recent introduction of record triggered flows, the landscape changes even more, and admins should revisit their approach to process automation.
In this session we will walk through the best practices of building flows, and present some tips and tricks on how to avoid common mistakes. You will also learn how you can organise your flows to effectively manage the increasing complexity and keep your automation predictable.

We all know that moment when you are running a Salesforce project for a couple of months (or even years), and we need to do a configuration review.
Which field is not used anywhere, which permission set is assigned to which user, do we have duplicates in our custom labels…
Tricky right?
What if you had the opportunity to retrieve all this info with just a query.
And be sure, Admins will use it even more than developers

What (and why) Admins need to know about Unit Testing, Julio Fernandez (@julipool) & Dorian Sutton (@dorianDBass), 201 level
Sometimes, Salesforce changes can have side effects that are hard to predict. As a Salesforce Admin you need a range of detective skills to investigate confusing behaviour and cryptic error messages.

Salesforce DevOps Maturity Matrix, Anna Walach, 401 level
How mature is your release process? We would like to think that we have almost forgotten about the times when state-of-the-art release process involved only ANT, few sandboxes and version control system. The truth is, many Salesforce projects still do not care about sfdx cli, are reluctant to try out scratch orgs and automated testing is considered too much hustle. In the modern world, an efficient DevOps strategy is key to an agile, but robust release process.
Not many materials exist to help set up advanced Devops process for Salesforce. Come and learn about what are the different areas that should be considered when designing a great release process, but also what are the different stages of advancement for each of those areas. Do you need to develop everything in-house? Or maybe use some existing frameworks? Or maybe there are feature-full solutions that you can just deploy? Let’s discuss methods that can be applied in different environments to find out the best strategy to get from where you are now to reach a desired ambition level of improvement and efficiency.

Combining EDA & API-led Connectivity through MuleSoft for integrating Salesforce with multiple ERPs, Marcelo Caponi, 201 level

API-led connectivity approach unlocks data through APIs allowing companies to create a composable business. In this session, I will share how to integrate Salesforce with multiple ERPs by combining EDA & API-led Connectivity through MuleSoft.

Database periscope: an alternative to custom fields, Igor Chtivelband, 201 level
Business decisions taken by Salesforce users are often made based on data coming from other systems (e.g. data submitted by customers through the company website). To facilitate these decisions Salesforce teams have to configure additional custom fields and plug them into data pipelines. This is a tedious process that might be frustrating, not only for developers, who have to maintain myriads of custom fields but also for the end-users, who have to wait weeks until a new field with the desired data appears in their layout.
Recently I have realized that there are two types of entity attributes in our Salesforce organization: those that trigger automatic events (e.g. email dispatch) and those that are observed by human eyes only. The latter attributes do not have to be BROUGHT into Salesforce, it is enough if they are only SHOWN there.
That is why in Billie we have developed a generic Lightning Web Component, named “Database periscope”, which is placed on an Account/Contact/Opportunity object and which shows data directly from the backend database to the end-user. When a record is opened in Salesforce by a user, this component issues an asynchronous call-out with the data request, receives JSON with all the available attributes and presents them in a grid.
This component saved us many hours of development and gave internal stakeholders access to data in real-time.
In my presentation, I would like to explain step-by-step how a similar solution can be built and discuss its advantages and limitations.

Recurring Revenue: Custom pricing models against standardized billing tools, Michal Mach, 201 level
Have you experienced issues with measuring recurring revenue in Salesforce? The goal of my story is to show reasons why small and medium-sized companies keen on a custom development for their own pricing models. Moreover, if companies continue to grow, they are looking for a standardized billing solution such as Salesforce Revenue Cloud (CPQ + Billing). The question is why?
First, I will introduce the topic by definitions of recurring revenue and this type of business. Then, I mention the specific reasons why some companies choose their own solutions in Salesforce and custom pricing.
Subsequently, I compare why this approach is not suitable in the long term and how the choice of a standardized billing tool (including Salesforce Revenue Cloud) helps the companies grow further.
Finally, I stick out key benefits of the Salesforce Revenue Cloud choice and when to use it appropriately.

IoT Accelerator for Salesforce, Jan Malý, Michal Skrbek, Michal Bilíček, Charlie Isaacs, 101 level
World of IoT is a maze of proprietary solutions that are usually designed to address a problem in silos – you can have an alarm system application that reads the sensors and notifies the user in case of an issue while another standalone application is focused on the heating system only.

Modern JavaScript: Explain it like I’m an Apex developer, Edith Valencia-Martinez (@edith_mxuk), 101 level
Are you an Apex developer who is excited about the LWC framework, but at the same time is confused by the modern JavaScript required?
Maybe this session can help!
During this session, we will go over the JavaScript language from the point of view of an Apex developer, focusing on the differences between the two languages and the frequent confusing areas and pain points.
This session is ideal for those familiar with Apex and who have little or no experience with JavaScript.

Having serious fun with lwc-datatable and Large Data Volume, Christian Knapp (@ch_sz_knapp) & Christian Menzinger (@chris_menzinger), 201 level
Interactive data-tables are awesome and a challenge – LWC’s lightning-datatable is no exception. It has many, useful features, lots of documentation and can handle various use cases from working with single fields to several records.
Loading Salesforce records with a fixed set of fields and a fixed set of column labels is straightforward and quickly done.
What about the next level, though? Loading a related list for example? Sortable. Searchable. Displaying the table in the user’s end language, with translated columns and values, too, where supported. Scanning a Large Data Volume like 70.000 records.
This talk will not provide a solution. It will focus on the path to a possible solution: Given all these requirements, where do I start? Where and how do I get test records? And 70k! Should sorting happen in the datatable or should Apex do the lifting? Which APIs do I use? When? How often? Where? Why?
Join us for a bit of code and lots of serious, honest experience sharing.

How to work with risks in Salesforce projects?, Tomáš Holý (@enehanosolution), 201 level
When it comes to risks, everyone usually knows that we need to care for them during the project, but how, when, and what is the main purpose is harder to understand. So let us focus on catching how risks impact the project price. How they differ project by project.
I will also compare risks in agile to traditional models giving you examples specifically for Salesforce projects. Last but not least is managing risks in Bodyshop or Fixed Time & Fixed Price contract model.
Do not underestimate risks in your projects. It is a key factor for successful delivery.

Run End-to-End Tests with the UI Testing Model (UTAM), Phillipe Ozil (@PhilippeOzil), 201 level
Testing apps is critical to ensure quality and there are different types of tests such as unit tests, integrations tests or end-to-end tests. Join this session to learn about end-to-end tests and discover the UI Test Automation Model (UTAM). UTAM is an Open Source solution built by Salesforce that lets you run UI tests on any kind of app. We’ll walk you through a practical example with a Salesforce app and you’ll learn about the key features that make UTAM a game changer for UI testing.

As a Salesforce Developer I will… – 7 Ground Rules for Success, Robert Sösemann (@rsoesemann), 201 level
After a decade of working as a developer, consultant, and architect in the Salesforce ecosystem, I believe that it takes more than deep technical skills to be successful. Over and over I have seen a handful of meta-skills separate the rock stars from the crowd. Ground Rules have made Salesforce developers like me more effective in their work, more flexible towards changes, and more composed when the stress levels are high.
In this session, I will share the 7 Ground Rules – with practical examples and tools you can use next sprint – that will aid you and your team to success.

What is Wrapper Class and How to use it with LWC, Oleh Mykytyn (@Oleh_Mykytyn), 401 level
At some point in time, each salesforce developer meets with the Wrapper class as it gives some extra flexibility to us. You’ve probably already worked with it in Aura Component or Visualforce but what about Lighting Web Component? Do we have such a possibility there and if yes, how can we use wrappers there, and easily connect it with Apex.
15:30
Coffee break. Tea break. Sweet break. And something salt as well. Plus ice cream will be served together with signature porridge you just need to test out as it is super awesome.

Salesforce CI pipelines demystified, Mariia Pyvovarchuk, 201 level
CI pipelines in Salesforce can save a huge amount of developers’ time which otherwise would be spent managing this process. They also help to prevent a lot of mistakes related to deploying the changes.
We’re going to have hands-on experience on how to successfully create and deploy CI pipelines, reduce manual work and eliminate human error to build a more effective solution. Moreover, we are going to explore some of the options based on typical requirements and processes.

Code quality and its business value, Nikita Belov, 101 level
Very often the importance of the code quality is underestimated especially by business people who usually don’t see the business value of it. In this session we will try to discover all the advantages of well written code and discuss how coding standards, code reviews and static code analyzer can help to maintain the level of quality and bring the business value.
