Salesforce Miami User Groups Comes Together Again

After almost four years of waiting, the Miami Salesforce User Group Event finally returned in person. The excitement and energy were palpable in the air as professionals, pioneers, and experts came together to learn, collaborate, and connect. The event was held Wednesday, March 29, and was organized by the Salesforce Admin and Salesforce Developer user groups of Miami, under the sponsorship of MatchMyEmail, RealZips, and our company SkyPlanner.

The event was successfully held at the Business Innovation and Technology Center and it was a unique and incredible opportunity for Salesforce professionals and customers. Those who were able to attend, took advantage of the good energy of this space to connect, share knowledge, and explore new trends.

Salesforce Miami User Groups Event - Opening

What is the Salesforce User Groups Community?

Salesforce User Groups Community is a community of, typically local, groups organized by CRM users who meet regularly to share Salesforce-related knowledge, skills, and experiences. These groups provide an opportunity for community members to connect, learn, and help others in a friendly and collaborative environment. Salesforce User Groups can be specialized in specific roles and topics, such as Developers, Administrators, Marketing Cloud, Sales Cloud or Service Cloud, among others. The communities can also be much broader and cover an entire territory like the Salesforce Community of Miami.

What happened on March 29?

Well, in this event many expectations were met. First and foremost, the long-awaited face-to-face that, since 2019, did not take place finally met! Words of welcome came from Jorge Fernandez and Rene R. Garcia, leaders of the Admin and Developer user groups of the Salesforce Miami Community and Co-Directors of SkyPlanner. Then came the main course of the afternoon, six presentations by important speakers:

  • Salesforce Spring ‘23 Release Highlights. Presented by Katherine Rodriguez. Salesforce Administrator, SkyPlanner.
  • Writing Effective and Maintainable Validation Rules. Presented by Lourdes Montero. Senior Member of Technical Staff, Trailhead, Salesforce.
  • RealZips Ver 15. See it here first! Presented by Fred Widarsson. Founder & CEO, RealZips, Inc.
  • Straightforward Email Integration: Match My Email vs. Einstein Activity Capture. Presented by Samuel Broda. VP Sales & Marketing, Match My Email.
  • Streamlining Marketing and Sales with Salesforce Account Engagement. Presented by Franchella Ales Senior Digital Marketing Specialist, Alliance Laundry Systems
  • Be a Trailblazer! Presented by Andres F Garcia. Principal Enterprise Architect, Salesforce.
Salesforce Miami User Group Event - Attendees

Of course, these presentations were a great treat for all attendees and if you would like to see them, they are available on the event page, along with some images of the event itself. Finally, the climax of the event came, reinforcing the spirit of all Trailblazers: connect, share, learn, and have fun.

Concluding…

While you may feel discouraged or frustrated at this point about not attending this event, the solution is clear: join the next one! Salesforce User Groups typically meet several times a year and participating in these meetups is an opportunity to learn from other Salesforce users and platform experts. You can learn about best practices, new features, and solutions to common problems. Additionally, you can expand your network of contacts and meet other Salesforce professionals in your area or industry.

Furthermore, another benefit is that Salesforce User Groups events are often free and open to all users, regardless of experience or level. The main idea being that if you are new to Salesforce, you can learn a lot from other more experienced users and if you are an advanced user, you can share your knowledge and help others.

Finally, Salesforce User Groups events are a great opportunity to connect with the Trailblazer culture, which is built on innovation, learning, and collaboration. Participating is also a way to show your commitment to the platform and ongoing professional development.

If you don’t belong to any Salesforce community yet, you can join in easily. Just sign up for Trailblazer Community Groups and search for your city or country to find the group closest to you and, if you don’t find any, you can organize one yourself! If you have any other questions, remember that at SkyPlanner we can accompany you on your journey through Salesforce and you can even join the Miami Community Salesforce Administrator or Salesforce Developers User Groups, led by our company co-directors.

What people are saying

Five starts

Five stars on customer satisfaction and Salesforce appexchange ratings.

"Excellent Consultants. During the training I received by the SkyPlanner team, I was lucky to better understand the powerful capabilities of Salesforce.com. They were very effective, straight-to-the-point, and with a solid knowledge of the CRM and the Force.com platform. Definitively they showed us how to streamline the business process within our company. Great group of people spreading valuable knowledge to make businesses grow. I highly recommend them."

Ramiro Allen — Chief Software Engineer @ TurboPay Limited

"Excellent partner! We have been working with SkyPlanner for almost one year now. It has been a pleasure working with their team. If it wasn't for them we would have not been able to go-live with our platform when we did. They understood our needs and were not only able to execute but guide us in our decisions. We continue using them for our on-going projects. They have a deep understanding of the overall platform. Their team is always ready, willing and able to help."

Ivan de Moya — VP Innovation Technology @ SunStreet

"SkyPlanner was professional, creative, reliable and extremely accommodating. From the onset of the project, it was clear that we had found the right partner. Our project was complex and every time we hit a roadblock, SkyPlanner was helpful in identifying and implementing a solution. Jorge Fernandez [SkyPlanner's Co-Founder & Managing Director] was our primary contact and we cannot say enough about what an asset he was in bringing our project to resolution."

Ryan Borcherds — Marketing @ Deliver Lean

"On time, on budget, great quality on every project. Whenever I get asked to recommend a Salesforce.com partner, I do not hesitate on my reply: Go with SkyPlanner. I had the privilege to have worked with many teams over the years, none have brought to the table the enthusiasm the SkyPlanner team has. This combined with their professionalism and expertise are the reasons I ONLY recommend one partner: SkyPlanner. In every project (and we have done many) they have consistently delivered on time and on budget with significantly superior quality."

Juan Meza — Strategic Business Development Director @ Sony Electronics Inc.

"Outstanding Service! Happy to have them as our partner! SkyPlanner is by far the most experienced and reliable Salesforce partner. We almost gave up on Salesforce thanks to our previous partner, fortunately we found SkyPlanner and they came to the rescue! They took their time to understand our needs and complexity of our organization. Highly talented, professional and dedicated team. I cannot stress enough how happy we are to have them as our partner and we look forward to continue building our relationship."

Nolan Pereira — Project Manager @ BLU Products
