What Is Agentforce World Tour NYC 2026?

Agentforce World Tour is Salesforce's global event series, bringing the Dreamforce experience to cities around the world. Each stop is a single-day, in-person event focused on the latest product innovations, customer stories, and hands-on learning.

The New York edition is one of the biggest stops on the 2026 tour. It's free to attend, open to everyone (not just existing Salesforce customers), and runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET on April 29 at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan.

The theme this year: the agentic enterprise. Salesforce is positioning Agentforce 360 as the moment AI agents stop being demos and start being infrastructure. Every session, every keynote, every hands-on lab is built around that premise: humans, agents, apps, and data working together on one platform.

Salesforce's own post-event data from prior World Tour stops backs up the value: 95% of attendees discover solutions that helped them drive customer growth, 94% leave with strategies that made their work faster, 90% learn something new that helps tackle real business challenges, and 91% uncover solutions that helped them or their business. Those numbers set the bar this year's NYC event is trying to clear.

Agentforce World Tour NYC 2026: Full Day Schedule

Here's how April 29 breaks down:

The Campground is Salesforce's signature networking space at World Tour events. Think of it as an open hall where you can connect with Salesforce product reps, ISV partners, and other customers. It's underrated. Use it.

Pro tip: Registration opens at 7:30 a.m., but the main session block doesn't kick off until 9:00. Get there at 7:30. You'll avoid the crush at the coffee station, map the venue while it's quiet, and have time to get to your priority hands-on training room early.

The Speakers You Need to Know

Salesforce has put together a strong lineup for this one. Here's who matters and why:

Patrick Stokes — President & CMO, Salesforce. He'll frame the big narrative in the keynote. Expect the official Agentforce 360 roadmap, customer proof points, and live demos. Pay attention to what he emphasizes first — that's where Salesforce thinks the platform story lands best right now.

Rob Seaman — EVP & GM, Slack, Salesforce. Slack and Agentforce are being positioned as an integrated stack. Seaman will walk through how Slack connects into the Agentforce workflow. If Slack is already in your environment, his session is required.

Niti Praveen — CEO, KnowCloudAI. This is the kind of customer-side voice that makes World Tour different from Dreamforce. Real implementation stories from someone who's actually deployed this stuff, not just a Salesforce evangelist.

Hayley Tuller — Salesforce Architect, Founder & CEO, BrightHelm Partners. She's an independent consultant who also builds on the platform. That combination gives her practitioner credibility that pure Salesforce speakers can't match. Her sessions tend to be heavier on the "here's what actually happens when you implement this" content.

MaryAnn Patel — SVP, Product Management, Salesforce. Product roadmap signals come from here. If you want to understand where specific features are heading, watch for her session.

Leah McGowen-Hare — SVP, Forward-Deployed Engineering, Salesforce. One of the more technically grounded Salesforce execs who gets on stage. Her sessions tend to be lighter on marketing language and heavier on actual platform mechanics.

Tigh Loughhead — CEO, Forcery. An ISV partner perspective on Agentforce 360 adoption in the real world. Forcery works with Salesforce implementations day-to-day, which means Loughhead brings the kind of practitioner insight you won't hear from Salesforce execs on the main stage.

Kate McArdle — SVP, Solutions, Salesforce. Solution-side strategy from inside Salesforce. McArdle's sessions typically bridge the product vision and the on-the-ground implementation reality — useful for anyone scoping their own Agentforce rollout.

All 130+ Sessions: Every Format Explained

The session catalog is deep. Here's the full breakdown:

Main Keynote (1 hour, 10:00–11:00 a.m.) — This is where the biggest announcements land. New Agentforce 360 capabilities, customer success stories, live demos. Required viewing regardless of your focus area.

Breakouts (30 minutes) — Deep dives into specific products, features, or use cases. These are where you get actual depth. If you're here for technical content, your day lives and dies in the breakout rooms.

Theater Sessions (20 minutes) — Quick, introductory format. Good for topics you want a surface-level overview of before deciding whether to go deeper later. Use these to fill schedule gaps efficiently.

Hands-On Trainings (60 minutes) — The most valuable thing at World Tour and the hardest to get into. Focused entirely on Agentforce this year, led by Salesforce product experts. More on this below.

Roundtables (45 minutes) — Moderated peer discussions on specific topics. These are the most underrated format at any Salesforce event. You get to hear from people doing the same work as you, not just from Salesforce's side of the table.

Workshops (45 minutes) — Interactive, skill-building sessions. The session description will tell you whether devices are provided or if you need to bring your own — check the abstract before you arrive.

Community Networking Sessions (45 minutes) — Open discussions with community leaders and Salesforce experts. Skews toward career and skills content. Useful if you're looking for what skills the market is actually asking for right now.

How to Actually Get Into Hands-On Training

This is where most people get tripped up. The hands-on training sessions are 60 minutes each, focused on Agentforce 360, and led by Salesforce product experts. They're the main draw for anyone who wants to leave NYC with something tangible rather than just slides.

Here's what you need to know:

They're first come, first served. Favoriting the session in the app does NOT hold your spot. You need to physically show up and claim a seat. This is explicitly called out in the event FAQ.

Multiple time slots run throughout the day. If the morning session is full, check back after lunch. Salesforce runs multiple slots to accommodate demand.

Bring a fully charged laptop. That's the minimum requirement. Some sessions may have devices provided — check each session's abstract to confirm what's needed for that specific training.

The smart play: identify your top priority training session first, then build your breakout schedule around it. Not the other way around.

The Financial Services Experience Track

This year, World Tour NYC includes a dedicated Financial Services Experience running as a full parallel track. It includes:

• Dedicated breakout sessions for banking, insurance, and wealth and asset management
• An industry lounge
• Live demos built around FS-specific Agentforce 360 use cases
• Peer roundtables with practitioners from the sector

It also marks the 10-Year Anniversary of Salesforce Financial Services Cloud. Salesforce will lean into this hard. If financial services is your world, block out most of your afternoon for this track.

The customer proof points being highlighted include CIBC and PenFed, both of whom are expected to share specifics on their Agentforce 360 deployments in the FS context.

Industries and Customer Stories Getting Focus

The main keynote and session agenda are built around real proof points from actual customers. The brands getting highlighted this year include Pandora, PenFed, and CIBC. Each represents a different vertical (retail/media, financial services, banking) and a different Agentforce 360 use case.

Beyond financial services, Salesforce is specifically calling out these industries as session focus areas: healthcare, nonprofit, media, and manufacturing. If you work in any of these, you'll find sessions built for your specific context rather than generic platform demos.

This matters because the most useful thing to take away from any World Tour isn't what's possible — it's what's working at companies that look like yours.

Can't Make It In Person? Watch on Salesforce+

Salesforce+ is streaming the event live. You can catch the main keynote, expert sessions, demos, and virtual hands-on training from anywhere. Registration is separate from in-person registration but also free.

The virtual format won't replace being in the room for hands-on labs and Campground networking. But for the content side — keynote, breakouts, customer stories — Salesforce+ is a solid option.

What Clientell Is Watching

We help companies get more out of their Salesforce investment. So we look at World Tour events with a specific lens: what's the gap between what gets announced and what actually works in practice?

Here's what we're paying closest attention to at NYC:

Agentforce 360 adoption numbers. The keynote will include customer success metrics. We want to see whether the numbers reflect broad adoption across org sizes, or a handful of well-resourced enterprise deployments. That distinction matters a lot for mid-market companies trying to plan their own roadmap.

The Slack + Agentforce integration story. Rob Seaman's session is the one to watch here. If Salesforce is serious about Agentforce 360 living in Slack's conversational layer, the architecture details matter for how admins actually build and maintain it day-to-day.

Hands-on training scope. We're watching what Salesforce thinks "getting hands-on with Agentforce" looks like at an introductory level. That's a signal about where they think the average org is in the adoption curve.

What's NOT addressed. The gaps in the keynote are as telling as the announcements. If pricing, data governance, or Apex dependency aren't addressed, that tells you something about where Salesforce thinks the friction actually lives.

If you come back from NYC with questions about how to apply what you learned to your specific org, that's exactly what we help with at Clientell.
