A little look back at Dreamforce 2026

Once again, the energy in San Francisco really struck me. Everyone I spoke to was amazed by what AI can do and excited about the possibilities it opens up for them. They want to start companies, pursue research, and shape the future. Dreamforce gave me the chance to take a closer look at the visions behind that excitement.

I spoke with Muralidhar Krishnaprasad, widely known as MK, Salesforce’s President and CTO of Product Engineering & Research. He shared his perspective on how Agentforce is already changing healthcare and helping improve the way healthcare teams work. I’m also happy to say we’ll be recording an interview with him soon.

We also recorded a video at Dreamforce with Mick Costigan, who leads the Salesforce Futures team, about how AI will evolve in the near future and how an agentic economy is taking shape. To me, 2026 still feels like just the beginning for agentic AI.

I finally got to meet so many people I’d been wanting to meet in person, and reconnect with others. I’m grateful that I get to make these trips, and meeting people is something I look forward to every time. I’m also sorry I can never quite manage to see everyone I’d love to catch up with.

But hey, I’m flying back to Germany today. For just three days. On Monday, I’m heading straight back to San Francisco for a very exciting event. More on that soon!

Much love,
Kim "Chubby"
