Unlike typical events, TDX thrives on community-led technical sessions, meaning your insights and practical experiences are the heart of the agenda. This makes the CFP a powerful opportunity to elevate your profile and contribute to the broader Salesforce developer community.

What Topics Are Salesforce Looking For?
When preparing your session idea, focus on content that delivers technical depth, real-world application, and actionable takeaways. Some of the most compelling topic areas include:
- Technical deep dives: Demonstrate your expertise with specific platform features, code patterns, or architectural best practices.
- Pilot & beta experiences: Share lessons from early access programs or work with emerging Salesforce technologies.
- Established tech with impact: Solutions using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Flow, integrations, and cross-cloud builds.
- Cross-cloud stories: Real implementations that span multiple Salesforce platforms (e.g., Platform + Slack).
These sessions help the technical community grow by teaching practical skills that attendees can apply immediately.
Choose the Right Session Format
TDX offers two main presentation formats. Understanding their differences helps you tailor your submission:
Breakout Sessions (40 Minutes)
- Deep technical content with time for audience questions.
- Recommended structure: ~35 minutes of presentation + ~5 minutes of Q&A.
- Up to three presenters can participate.
Theater Sessions (20 Minutes)
- Shorter format ideal for demos and focused topic overviews.
- No live Q&A, but excellent for concise, high-impact content.
- Up to two presenters per session.
Select the format that best showcases your content — deep explorations work well in Breakouts, while practical demos excel in Theater sessions.
How to Write a Standout CFP Submission
Great proposals have clear value, practical focus, and relatable real-world context. Here’s how to improve your chances:
Craft a Clear, Technical Title
- Use a verb + technology + benefit structure
- Example: “Utilizing Parallel Subscriptions to Help with Your Agents.”
Write a Compelling Abstract
Your abstract should describe:
- The problem or scenario
- What you’ll demonstrate or explain
- What the audience will learn or take away
Keep it concise but specific. Clarity and relevance matter more than creative flourishes.
Highlight Real Use Cases
Reviewers prefer proposals that reflect real experience over generic conceptual content. Focus on your hands-on expertise and the impact of your solution.
If accepted, you will need to attend TDX 2026. Salesforce does not cover travel or lodging costs, so plan accordingly.
Speaker Benefits & Support
Once your session is accepted, Salesforce equips you with resources to help you succeed:
- Complimentary speaker pass for TDX 2026.
- Access to a speakers-only Slack channel with updates and best practices.
- Templates and guidance for your presentation deck.
- Early confirmation helps you prepare ahead of the event.
Not Accepted? Other Ways to Share Your Knowledge
If your proposal isn’t picked this year, don’t worry, there are other ways to share your expertise:
- Trailblazer Community Conferences
- Trailblazer Community Group meetings
- Local Salesforce events and virtual webinars.
Your expertise still matters. The Salesforce ecosystem thrives on shared knowledge and collaboration.

Submitting to the TDX 2026 CFP is more than just applying to speak; it’s a chance to amplify your impact in the Salesforce ecosystem. With thoughtful planning and a clear, practical session proposal, you can help shape the conversation and inspire thousands of fellow Trailblazers.
