Connect, learn, and give back with the Trailblazer Community.

The Trailblazer Community is a global network of millions of people who help each other along the journey of learning and succeeding with Salesforce.

What is the Trailblazer Community? The Trailblazer Community is a vibrant, global group of Salesforce users helping each other along the journey of learning and succeeding with Salesforce. They collaborate in the online Trailblazer Community, in person at Community Group meetings, and at events where they learn, connect, and give back together.

Everyone—of all backgrounds, education levels, roles, and interests—is welcome. From existing Salesforce Admins, sales professionals, and developers to potential customers and curious students, the community is for anyone interested in connecting with others as they expand their Salesforce knowledge and expertise.

Why is the Trailblazer Community important?

Trailblazer Community engagement helps drive success with Salesforce. When people connect with each other through the community, the success multiplier is undeniable. 

In fact, the community helps Salesforce users unlock more Salesforce ROI, boost productivity, and accelerate product adoption and implementation. In a recent survey, 80% of Salesforce users report that engaging in the community helps extend their Salesforce capabilities, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Additionally, three in five community members surveyed said the community helped them get a new job or promotion. 

The most important thing about this community is how much we care about each other and how much we’re invested in each other’s growth.
