Here's what you can look forward to:

  • Meet, greet, hang out, and make new friends with JCC folks from across the country.
  • Learn together as we talk about making the most of Salesforce for our JCCs.
  • Pick up some handy tips and tricks to make things easier at work.
  • Definitely fun times to share some laughs and good stories.
