Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

InspireEast is a Salesforce Community Event.

A joint collaboration between the Norwich and Cambridge Salesforce User Groups.

Our Story

Founded in 2018, InspireEast is dedicated to bringing together Salesforce professionals. Our goal is to create a collaborative space where participants can explore new features, share their experiences, and tackle common challenges.

There’s a huge community of users around Europe already which is constantly growing, but we felt like the East of England was missing out! Travel to London can be long and difficult for some, so we wanted to bring awesome speakers and content closer to home and promote our wonderful area to those who live further afield! We want to share knowledge and ideas, bring people together and most importantly… have fun!

We also wanted to create something a bit different, an event focussed on inspiration and ideas. This year that’s going to be even more of a focus for us and we can’t wait!

Our goal is to provide ideas based on real-life experiences that empower people to make positive changes, harnessing the power of the Salesforce platform in our new and ever-changing landscape.

 

This Years Theme: "The Power of You"
 

InspireEast is all about real-life business use cases, open surgeries and panel discussions to help you get the most out of Salesforce. But our systems, technology and businesses are nothing without the people who power them.

InspireEast will offer a full day of engaging activities, including insightful presentations, hands-on workshops, and valuable networking opportunities.

 

As part of a broader initiative to promote community engagement and continuous learning within the Salesforce ecosystem, our event is designed to help attendees enhance their skills and deepen their knowledge.

In Memory

We have lost too many of our dear friends in the eco-system over the past 12 months.  And in particular one of our founding members Gemma Blezard, and the "first follower" Amanda Beard-Neilson. Both of whom jumped on board to support this initiative, bringing their wisdom, energy, impact, inspiration and inviting 

True Allyship - so this year we are asking our community leaders/figures to be more Gemma & Amanda . 


How can you lift someone up? How can you empower someone new or starting out?

We've got some ideas - but this is our goal.

"Let me show you what you can do for yourself"
- Gemma Blezard, 2012
