Aotea Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
Kia ora e te whānau Ohana,
We look forward to welcoming you soon, to Kiwi Dreaming 2023 in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa/Auckland, New Zealand. You'll find more details on the website here, as well as a link to join our mailing list below, for up to date information on the event.
Our speakers and sponsors are coming along well as we work hard to put together an awesome event for you.
Tickets are now on sale!
Tickets are available at https://events.humanitix.com/kiwi-dreaming-2023?c=kdweb
If you’re in a position to help others then we’ve provided an option to also purchase half a ticket for a non-earner who might want to attend the event, and we’ll be working with a couple of Salesforce education partners to ensure these go to the right people. You can purchase more than a half if you want - 2 halves = a whole ticket for someone!
We also have put aside $5 from every ticket which will be donated to a charity that you can vote for on the day. We’ll have some chosen charities and information about them available at the event, and a QR code to digitally allocate your donation!
If you want to get in touch about anything then please email us at hello@kiwidreaming.nz, and we look forward to providing further updates in the near future.
What's a "Dreaming" event?
Great question! A Dreaming event is a chance to connect with your Salesforce Ohana, learn things that you might not have known, meet people you haven't met, and share your stories with the community! They are run independently from Salesforce themselves, so rely on sponsorship and a small entrance fee.

Salesforce community events past and future
Our friends at Downunder Dreaming held events back in 2019 in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Also London's Calling is an amazing community-led event and they have a great video of what Dreaming events are all about.
Finally, here's a good write-up on what Dreaming events are all about also.
Sponsorship packages are now available via the link below. Please get in touch if you are interested in sponsoring, or have any questions. It goes without saying that sponsors provide the backbone of any community event, and we look forward to working through the details with sponsors from Aotearoa and hopefully further afield as well!
If you haven't already, then please join our mailing list to keep up to date with our plans. Join details are below.
Ngā mihi,
Jo and Stephen - The Kiwi Dreaming crew.
