Traffic congestion is expected to ramp up in San Francisco starting tomorrow as Dreamforce, Salesforce's massive tech conference, kicks off. KRON4 has detailed street closures around the Moscone Center and warns of increased traffic, particularly during morning and afternoon hours. Howard Street between Third and Fourth and Fourth Street between Mission and Howard will be sections to avoid if you're trying to bypass the gridlock.
While the streets get ready to shutter temporarily, inside the conference halls, the future of artificial intelligence in business seems to be ready to unfold substantially. Salesforce is touting Dreamforce as "the largest AI event in the world," where attendees will have the chance to build their first AI agents quickly. At the ‘Agentforce Launch Zone,’ a revolutionary space designated for development within the conference, companies can create and prototype their AI agents using Agentforce, a platform designed for easy integration and implementation. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff was quoted on Salesforce's website stating, "Agentforce is leading the Third Wave of AI, advancing beyond copilots to a new era of intelligent, low-hallucination agents that set a new standard for accuracy and relevance with unmatched trust and scalability."
Beyond the buzz of innovative tech, Dreamforce '24 promises to deliver a dynamic mix of industry professionals and celebrity speakers. The business elite like Jensen Juang and Sallie Krawcheck will share the stage with entertainment figures such as Kerry Washington and Matthew McConaughey. The mix reflects Salesforce's aims to cross-pollinate the spheres of technology and culture.
For those interested in participating or merely curious, the Agentforce Launch Zone will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday and until 4 p.m. on Thursday. Attendees can directly engage with advanced AI tools and learn to deploy these resources to increase productivity. Benioff's ambition is to hasten the augmentation of workforces with Agentforce agents, aiming for one billion agents by the end of 2025.
