Useful takeaways from this story.

Prioritize sessions that pair strategy and implementation: Agentic Banker and Beyond the Pilot for deployment, observability, and metrics.

See practical productivity changes in Spreadsheets to AI and Banking Service Reimagined to evaluate banker and service agent use cases.

Visit Campground demos (Moscone North) to watch the Banking Service Agent handle real moments like lost cards, balances, and disputes.

Begin with the Financial Services Keynote: "Your Pilot-to-Profit Playbook" (broadcast live on Sept. 16 at 10:00 am PT). The keynote frames the main question: why some firms scale AI successfully while others stall. Use it to validate the success metrics and deployment patterns your bank should prioritize.

Day 2 — Focus on scaling and production

  • Banker: From Pilot to Production — real customer approaches to use-case selection, deployment strategy, and observability.
  • Beyond the Pilot: Scaling AI That Actually Sticks — concrete discussion on use cases, data foundations, and metrics that change outcomes.

These sessions concentrate on governance, deployment choices, and how to measure impact once models serve business processes.

Day 3 — Evaluate banker experience and service

Attend sessions that show direct productivity improvements and service automation:

  • Experience — examples of AI co-workers handling routine tasks and automating meeting follow-ups.
  • Banking Service Reimagined with Agentic AI — how banks deploy service agents, what roadblocks appear, and practical choices for rollouts.

Reserve time for hands-on demos at the Campground in Moscone North. The guide highlights live demos of the Banking Service Agent handling common interactions such as reporting a lost card, balance checks, and dispute resolution. Stop by Agentic Enterprise City to observe customer stories and practical implementations.

If your agenda leans toward architecture, include sessions on headless access and data security:

  • Going Headless: Build Any Front End on Salesforce Data — covers secure external AI agent access to live Salesforce data via natural language queries.
  • Banking — deeper technical discussion with customers about live deployments and hardest operational questions.

If you cannot attend in person, stream the keynote and selected sessions on Salesforce+. Use the three-day guide to prioritize remote viewing: start with the keynote, then pick 1–2 production-focused breakouts and the demo highlights.

Dreamforce organizes content to help banking leaders judge whether and how to scale AI: begin with the keynote to set priorities, then focus on sessions that combine deployment patterns, measurable metrics, and banker productivity. Finish with demos to see agentic service in real moments and ground decisions in observable behavior.
