A popular interest at these User Group meetings is seeing how other members have implemented and are using Salesforce.com.  Suzy Webb has volunteered to show off some of the Opportunity and Case customizations that she has implemented for her company, JSI Store Fixtures, Inc.  Come check it out!

Best Practices Discussion - Preparing for SFDC Releases

Salesforce.com has approximately 4 new releases each year, and names them after the seasons. In June, each of our Salesforce.com instances will be upgraded to the Summer'08 release.  Do you know what's planned for this release?  What evaluation / testing have you done in preparation for Summer'08?  Join us for a Best Practices discussion to find out how other SFDC users and administrators learn about the features in upcoming releases, and plan for them before release deployment.

Closer Look at Summer'08 Release

There are more than 65 enhancements and new features in the Summer'08 Release, including the General Availability of VisualForce, Analytic Snapshots, enhancements to the Customer Portal, and support for Cross-Object formulas.  We'll take a closer look at these and other interesting features.  Every attendee will take away a copy of the detailed Summer'08 Release Notes, so they can understand all of the upcoming changes in more detail.
