Midwest Dreamin’ is a community led, community ran event. Organized by the following regional User Group leaders who had a dream to bring a ‘Super User Group’ with marquee quality speakers to the Midwest for learning and networking.
Here are some of our favorite quotes from past events:
Eric has been in the Salesforce ecosystem since 2009. In 2010 he started the Southern Indiana Salesforce User Group, now called the Evansville, IN Administrators Group. In 2011, he organized the very first Midwest Dreamin’, where 100 Salesforce enthusiasts descended upon Louisville for a full day of Salesforce community learning. Eric has been named a Salesforce MVP every year since 2013. He has spoken at Dreamforce in 2013, 2014, 2016 through 2019, and has organized a Dreamforce Breakfast for Newbies since 2012 as a fundraising event for Project Night Night.
Check out his blog site at https://thedreshonline.com/. And look for him tweeting from one of four twitter accounts: personal; Evansville, IN Salesforce Community Group; Midwest Dreamin’; and Dreamforce Newbie Breakfast.
Nick has been a Salesforce user since 2009. Starting as an accidental admin for Students Today Leaders Forever based out of Minneapolis, he quickly helped co-found the Twin Cities Nonprofit Salesforce User Group in 2010. Nick likes to believe if you can dream it, you can do it in Salesforce. At Dreamforce 2014, he took that to heart presenting how he created an app called DragForce to track his passion outside of work – drag racing an ’85 Camaro. Nick has been an MVP since 2015 and holds 4 certifications.
Jim has been building software for over 25 years and is a software development leader at Consilio. He is an advocate for cloud technologies and is happy to be part of this wonderful community!
While Michelle became an #AccidentalAdmin in 2013, she discovered the Salesforce Community in 2018 and hasn’t looked back! In addition to serving as the co-leader of the Cedar Rapids User Group and a Trailhead Mentor, she co-hosts the Automation Hour webinar series and has presented at numerous user groups and events across the United States. A 2-time MVP, Michelle is passionate about helping the next generation of trailblazers succeed and is thrilled to join the planning committee for Midwest Dreamin (which was her first Dreamin event)!
