ICYMI: Siemens Manufacturing Lounge at Salesforce Dreamforce 2025
Dreamforce is an annual event that brings together the global Salesforce community and is considered the largest AI event in the world. This year the event drew over 50K people, and it did not disappoint! The event was hopping with thousands of sessions and workshops, keynote speeches from industry leaders, and networking opportunities.
This year, Siemens proudly hosted a Siemens-Salesforce manufacturing lounge located at the heart of Dreamforce activity, in downtown San Francisco – B Restaurant & Bar, Moscone Center. The lounge was a center-stage for digital transformation discussions, especially around the Siemens-Salesforce partnership and the power of PLM + CRM + AI.
Where conversations on digital transformation begin
In addition to a coffee bar and lovely indoor and outdoor meeting space where plenty of lively conversations were held, the manufacturing lounge offered an area where visitors could take in live product demonstrations that highlighted connected and AI-powered PLM and CRM through a comprehensive digital twin. Visitors in the lounge were able to interact with the product experts and enjoy meaningful conversations while exploring real-world uses cases in the context of service lifecycle management (SLM) and aftermarket business. Solutions demonstrated included:
- Siemens Xcelerator solutions
- Teamcenter PLM and service lifecycle management (SLM)
- Teamcenter SLM for Salesforce featuring service excellence, CPQ optimization, and customer portal experience
- TeamViewer visualization and AR, integrated with Siemens Xcelerator solutions

Unforgettable experiences
In addition to Siemens-hosted happy hours in the manufacturing lounge, the event also included great entertainment – I loved watching Jewel perform live. We had a perfect view from our lounge rooftop – while I know many of my colleagues enjoyed rocking out to Metallica at the Chase Center.
All in all, the event was a great success, and I was honored to attend and meet and talk with so many interesting people in the manufacturing world. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s event, and the Siemens-Salesforce manufacturing lounge experience – something special.
Until next year!
