A campground, not a booth
Dreamforce turns Moscone into a national park, and inside it Salesforce gives its biggest partners cabin-style pods on the campground. We handled the technology for five of them: Snowflake, AWS, Alibaba, F1, and WhatsApp, each with a theater monitor and mic for presentations, demo screens, a vertical schedule monitor out front, and a four-speaker immersive audio array playing into the pod. Alibaba's ran a trivia game on iPads with leaderboard monitors keeping score.
The job did not stop at the campground. Over in West Hall we ran the A/V for the Slack Cube and the Wishing Well, and the Olympics Lounge got its own build: 70-inch and 46-inch monitors on dual-post stands, MacBooks driving them, and a compact Meyer audio rig on a QSC mixer. Moscone is a union house, so our technicians supervised the union install and dismantle calls. Five techs covered all eight builds across the three show days.
