If you visit salesforce.com/events you may be disappointed by the lack of events going on in North America right now. It’s not even a search option! Fortunately, salesforce.com/community has its own events page which does have a list of web-based events that do occur during North American business hours. One of which is coming up next week and sounds perfect for beginner to intermediate admins struggling with data issues. The webinar is being given by two salesforce.com employees and doesn’t mention any partners, so it should be a little less biased than a Dreamforce session.
