Salesforce Saturday started in Austin, Tx in March of 2015.
It was created as a way for the community to dedicate one day out of the week to growing their Salesforce Skill set in some way. The Salesforce platform is a very powerful tool, and there is so much happening with it that you can’t often learn all the fun stuff on your company’s production instance! Or you shouldn’t anyway So this was a way to learn all of the fun stuff in our own developer sandboxes that we couldn’t do during the week!
So now, we spend Saturdays “Learning ALL things Salesforce for our own personal growth on Saturdays! Work at your own pace on
whatever helps you Earn Trailhead Badges, Get Certified, Learn Code or Develop your Career!”
