Meet the entertainment partner behind Salesforce Dreamforce: turning keynotes into branded kinetic moments.

170,000 guests. One iconic celebration.

At the world’s largest software conference, corporate event entertainment wasn’t just an afterthought. It was a catalyst. For three high octane days, BDE transformed Salesforce Dreamforce into a kinetic, high impact experience that moved guests from moment to moment, literally.

A multi-ensemble takeover. Powered by music. Designed for movement.

Inside and outside the Moscone Center, BDE delivered custom live band performances that energized audiences, enhanced storytelling, and reinforced brand values at every turn.

Four original ensembles. Dozens of custom flags. Salesforce-branded instruments. Performers in sync with the message and the momentum.

This wasn’t background music. This was live entertainment engineered to spark interaction, stir emotion, and ignite crowds.

“Start to finish BDE was knowledgeable and helped us to select the best option for our event attendees. They were flexible as we updated our Run of Show and executed flawlessly on site.”

Kate Patay, Producer, George P. Johnson

Live music that amplifies the brand.
15-piece Marching Band

Wearing all-white, with instruments wrapped in custom Salesforce branding, BDE’s professional live band led a parade from the Homecoming space to the “Dreamforest” stage. The crowd? Instantly electrified. Songs like Uptown Funk, Hey Ya, and Hot in Here turned the space into a branded celebration.

Seven custom flag designs, all aligned with Dreamforce’s mission. Five of them celebrated Salesforce’s Earth Values: Sustainability, Trust, Innovation, Equality, and Customer Success. The result? A visual story in motion, spun and danced by music and arts performers in sleek white jumpsuits.

Sleek. Sophisticated. Dressed in white jackets and sunglasses, the brass band played while stages were reset in the Homecoming space, keeping energy up while transitions happened invisibly. A powerful lesson in event entertainment services that don’t miss a beat.

This wasn’t a plug-and-play band for hire. BDE’s ensembles were fully customized, from instrumentation and wardrobe to the choreography, branded props, and guest interaction.

Whether it’s corporate party music, wedding live bands, or festival live bands, our approach is always the same: fuse purpose with performance.

This is what unforgettable feels like.

Dreamforce didn’t just welcome guests, it immersed them. And BDE was the pulse that kept it alive. From custom signage and concert entertainment band energy to live music for events that felt as tailored as a keynote, this was how to turn attention into emotion and emotion into memory.
