Biggest Little Dreamin’ is a Salesforce community conference, built and run by Trailblazers, not a vendor or a corporate events team. Admins, developers, architects, and consultants who use Salesforce every day come together for a day and a half of real sessions taught by people doing the actual work.
Conference budgets have gotten tighter across the board, and more Trailblazers are paying their own way than ever before. That shouldn’t decide who gets to be part of this community, so the ticket is $99, flat, for everyone. No tiers, no early pricing games.
$99 doesn’t cover the full cost per person. We priced it there anyway, because that’s what community conferences do, they look out for their own. Those who can give a little more, do, through the Biggest Little Dreamin’ Fund at checkout, completely optional. Those who can’t are still family, still part of this. Sponsors help close the rest. Nobody sits out over money.
Why Trailblazers keep coming back to conferences like this
It’s finding out the person two seats over solved the exact problem you’ve been stuck on for a month. It’s meeting your next hire, your next job, or someone who gets it when you say “the org did something weird again.” That’s what this community has always been built on, and it’s why Tahoe Dreamin’ ran for nearly a decade before Biggest Little Dreamin’ picked up where it left off.
What’s in the $99
- Every session, every track, no upsells
- Evening events built around actually talking to people

Stay for the weekend
The conference wraps Friday afternoon, and that’s on purpose. January is peak season in the Sierra Nevada, and Lake Tahoe is sitting 45 minutes from your hotel. This isn’t a small regional hill, it’s some of the best skiing and riding in the country. Mt. Rose is closest, 25 minutes from downtown, with terrain that holds its own against anywhere in the basin. Palisades, Heavenly, and Northstar are all within an hour if you want to chase bigger mountains. Not a skier? Tahoe still has you, snow tubing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides along the lake, or hot springs if you’d rather sit in 100-degree water while it’s 35 degrees outside. Come for the conference Thursday and Friday, wake up Saturday, and be on the mountain by mid-morning.
Reno itself is worth staying for too. Restaurants, bars, and nightlife within walking distance of your hotel, and the casino floor right there if that’s your speed. Some of the best conversations at this conference happen outside the session rooms, on a chairlift, over a beer after skiing, or at dinner when nobody’s watching the clock. Fly in Wednesday, conference Thursday and Friday, and stay through the weekend if you want to make a trip of it. See the full weekend guide for ski resort details, non-skier options, and what’s happening downtown.
Bringing More Than Yourself?
At a flat $99 per ticket, sending your whole team costs a fraction of sending one person to a major national conference. If your team is spread across offices or client sites, this is also a low-cost reason to get everyone in one room, including the option to arrange a private meeting room before the conference starts. See the Bring Your Team page for details.
Stay across the street
Our hotel block is at the Silver Legacy, directly across the street from the Reno Ballroom where the conference happens.
Rooms run $69 a night on weekdays ($39 room rate plus $30 resort fee) and $99 a night on weekends ($69 room rate plus $30 resort fee), all in, before taxes. The resort fee is charged on every room regardless of where you book, we negotiated it down from the standard $37. We’re quoting the full number because that’s what you’ll actually pay. No surprises at checkout.
Space in the block is limited, and once it’s gone we can’t guarantee this rate again. Booking details go out after you register.
