Tens of thousands are expected at Dreamforce this week, with an all-star lineup of celebrity speakers and a special concert by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, providing a boost to the still-recovering SF economy.
An estimated 40,000 people are expected to show as the event returns to in-person attendance for the first time since the start of the pandemic. That number still is far short of the pre-pandemic crowds in the 170,000 range at the event.
Dreamforce, which kicks off Tuesday and runs through Thursday, is expected to bring in about $40 million to San Francisco. It's a welcome return as the local economy slowly comes back from the pandemic's devastating blow to its tourism and hospitality sectors.
