Huge Thanks from the Salesforce Welly Community!
Many many thanks for your support for our Wellington Salesforce community Xmas event 2023, and Lauren in particular. We were thrilled with the turnout - probably around 170-180 actually turned up out of around 230 regos, so this was our highest ever number at any of our functions!
We can only run such a community event with your support, and we don’t take it for granted. We have a wonderful, vibrant and inclusive community here in Wellington, and as you can tell, they turn up in large numbers for the highly anticipated Christmas event!
I look forward to catching up in the New Year, but for now would like to thank you all again.
