Dreamforce Secures Future in San Francisco with Mayor's Deal

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced that the company's Dreamforce conference will remain in San Francisco for another year, after reaching an agreement with the city. This decision comes amidst concerns about homelessness and crime in the city, which led other tech companies to move their events elsewhere. Benioff highlighted the clean sidewalks and attendees feeling safe at this year's conference, which drew a crowd of about 40,000. The event is expected to generate over $89 million in economic activity. San Francisco's mayor, London Breed, expressed gratitude to Benioff, and he declared the city as the "AI capital of the world," home to notable AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic.
