Hikko is Heading to Dreamforce 2026: Here's What We're Watching

Every September, the Salesforce ecosystem packs into Moscone Center to find out where the platform is headed next, and this year, Hikko will be there too. Dreamforce 2026 runs September 15–17 in San Francisco, and the entire event is being built around one idea: the "Agentic Enterprise," where AI agents don't just assist teams, they run alongside them.

As a Salesforce consulting partner since 2013, we've spent over a decade helping mid-market and enterprise teams turn Salesforce releases into real operational wins instead of shelfware. This year, with our own AI practice deepening through the Anthropic Claude Partner Network, Dreamforce feels less like a conference we attend and more like a preview of the roadmap we're already building toward with clients.

What's Hot at Dreamforce 2026

A few themes are dominating the pre-event conversation, and we'll be tracking all of them closely:

Agentforce 360 takes center stage. If Dreamforce 2025 introduced Agentforce, 2026 is about proving it can scale. Agentforce 360 folds agent-building, governance, and observability into a single system, with expanded coverage across Sales, Service, Marketing, and Commerce Cloud, plus agents embedded directly inside Slack.

Data 360 gets more teeth. Expect updates on real-time governance, AI-powered data quality tools, and privacy-first architecture that lets agents work with unstructured data without compromising compliance, a question nearly every enterprise client asks us before greenlighting an AI rollout.

The bar for proof is higher. Salesforce has reported that combined Agentforce, Data 360, and Informatica Cloud revenue has already crossed the billion-dollar mark, so this Dreamforce is expected to lean less on hype and more on measurable ROI, governance frameworks, and case studies from teams already running Agentforce in production.

A free virtual option, for the first time at real scale. Salesforce+ streams the keynotes and 400+ sessions live, running one extra day (through September 18) for anyone who can't make it to San Francisco in person.

Claudeforce is the wildcard everyone will be talking about. On August 26, Salesforce and Anthropic announced Claudeforce, an expanded partnership that runs in both directions: Claude now serves as a reasoning model across Salesforce's Agentforce surfaces, and Salesforce shipped a plugin inside Claude itself, with 37 prebuilt sales skills covering deal health reviews, pipeline updates, and meeting prep. It's a notable bet that sellers increasingly work from Claude rather than switching back to a CRM screen, and it's expected to be a major thread running through Dreamforce sessions this year.

Why We're Going

Hikko helps mid-market and enterprise teams implement, optimize, and scale Salesforce, and our clients report an average 2.5x ROI in year one, backed by a 4.9 CSAT and 5.0 ESAT internally. We're a Certified B Corporation, an AppExchange Partner, and part of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network, which means AI isn't a side project for us, it's built into how we scope and deliver implementations across Sales, Service, Experience, Field Service, Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, and Agentforce. With Claudeforce now bringing Claude and Salesforce even closer together, that dual vantage point is exactly the perspective we want to bring back to our clients.

Dreamforce is where we stress-test our own thinking against what Salesforce is actually shipping, so we can bring back grounded, practical guidance, not just slide-deck buzzwords, to the teams we work with across the US, LATAM, and beyond.
