Announcing Appirio After Dark at the SFMOMA, this year's must attend invite only party at Dreamforce 2012!

What is going on this year?

This year's party is inspired by the Fritz Lang classic film Metropolis, and should prove to be our best yet.

Wednesday,  September 19, 2012 - 8:30pm
SFMOMA - 151 Third Street (between Mission and Howard)

We recently released our “Chatter Me Maybe” video on YouTube, and it’s gotten some great feedback from the Salesforce community:

Since everyone had so much fun making the video, we wanted to open the experience up to the public and see what YOU could come up with. We thought the best way to do this would be to run a little contest, and see who’s got the Chatter skills to pay the bills:

• First Prize will receive $1,000 and two VIP tickets to our invite-only Dreamforce Party which drew more than two thousand people last year.*
• The 4 Runners-up will receive 2 tickets each to the Appirio party (1 submission = 2 tickets).

To Enter, create a video of you, or you and your friends doing your own version of “Chatter Me Maybe.” You can use the lyrics from our video (Lyrics can be found here), or you can create your own (BONUS POINTS!).

Post your video to YouTube or another video sharing site and mention this contest in the video or in the description. Then simply tweet the link to your video to @appirio on Twitter using #chattermemaybe. Or you can submit via Facebook, by liking our page and posting your video to our Facebook Timeline.

Our Dreamforce T-Shirts are back for another year, and we need help coming up with new slogans. We loved the results from the past few year's contests, so we thought we'd do it again!

Help us come up with an original cloud-themed slogan for this year’s Appirio 2012 Dreamforce T-shirts. The winning submissions will receive two VIP tickets to our invite-only Dreamforce Party which drew more than two thousand people last year.*

Here’s some slogans from previous years to get the old juices flowing:

• Cloud can’t fix stupid (but it sure helps)
• If loving the cloud is wrong, I don’t want to be right
• I went all the way with the cloud
• The only good servers are the kind that bring me cold drinks
• Friends don't let friends buy servers

Have at it!

We're proud to announce that the Dreamforce Mobile Party App is back! We crowdsourced the development of this app through CloudSpokes last year, and it was a huge hit. So we're bringing it back to you for the biggest cloud computing event of the year. If last year was any indicator, we expect the social scene to be beyond crazy at DF12. We had 22 different parties listed in the app last year...

So break out your iOS/android smartphones/tablets and head over to www.dreamforcesocial.com to get started. Being a non-native mobile app, it's compatible with any HTML5 enabled device. For those interested, the app is built utilizing Ruby on Rails, jQuery Mobile, and Heroku.

As well, here are some simple instructions to add the party app to your smartphone's home screen as you would a native app: iOS | android.
