Dreamforce, the single largest tech conference in the Bay Area, officially kicked off Tuesday in the Bay Area.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff opened the two-day San Francisco conference by highlighting emerging technology at the company being built to bring people together.

The conference launch comes after Benioff clarified comments he recently made supporting President Donald Trump’s proposal to deploy the National Guard in San Francisco.

An article published last week by the New York Times quoted Benioff saying he would support the president’s plan of bringing in the National Guard to clean up San Francisco. The comments did not sit well with city leaders.
