Dreamforce 2014 continues to rock on with unique experiences and opportunities. This morning started off with a keynote session highlighting Hillary Rodham Clinton, former secretary of state, and Professor Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum. They shared thought-provoking messages about what it takes to make lasting global change in partnership between governments, businesses, and communities. They both agreed that only bringing people and information together and integrating that into thoughtful decisions will lead to the positive change that is needed.
