San Francisco is going to be extra busy this week.
That's because Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference is returning.
The multi-day conference is set to start Tuesday morning at Moscone Center. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff will kick everything off with his keynote speech.
According to the Dreamforce website, attendees are expected to spend upwards of $2,500 just to attend the event.
Local businesses and restaurants are preparing for large crowds.
The Dreamforce conference this year is all about AI, specifically about using tech to create your personalized AI agent.
“I am excited to see a lot of the partner networks that they have in different tools, that are part of that network, that they are launching,” said Kelly Goles with Nvidia.
