to just say before we begin, we're just thrilled, absolutely thrilled that nancy and the mayor could be here today. and so thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to honor us at dreamforce. this is our biggest and most exciting dreamforce and we have more than 175,000 people registered to attend the event and there is more than 15 million people joining us online as well. that is incredible. almost 5 million people joined us yesterday online here at dreamforce. and as part of dreamforce, of course we have incredible advancements in technology. we have got all of these incredible programs and events. there are 2700 sessions happening, but perhaps the most important thing we do at dreamforce is remind to do something for somebody else. this has been part of the core philosophy since the first day we introduced our

company and 111 "pacific seasonings' gold shield brand" that is 1% of your equity, your profit and time and when we started salesforce it didn't seem like much because we didn't have any equity, profit or time, but now we have 20,000 employee and this incredible company. so we have been able to give back more than had a million-and-a-half hours of volunteerism and $130 million in grants much to the k-12 system here in san francisco and oakland. and also, we run 28,000 non-profits and ngos for our service. every year we love to dedicate and focus dreamforce to a specific cause. it's a very important part of us and we get to see all of these great causes around the world and so many people doing god's work and so thrilled to partner and unite with them and we celebrate red, and ceo of red who has fought aids

tirelessly throughout the world and celebrating her with this incredible red store, selling hundreds of thousands of red's products more than we expected on the dreamforce campus. tonight one of the founders of red bono is going to perform for us tonight at the cow palace. it's exciting and we're very, very excited and i want to turn it over to nancy and ed and to hear from the leaders of red as well. nancy. >> thank you very much for everything, thank you marc benioff and to salesforce and dreamforce for making the tremendous difference you are making. we have been here before whether when we tried to end hunger and you always pick up a cause of such urgency and helping aids for good, for good meaning what it means in

the lives of people and in the lives of country and for good, what it means in terms of our society. i have a message about marc benioff that i want to read. it was something that was said about mozart when they tried to explain how brilliant he was. and when i was reading it, it reminded me of marc. i asked how -- was mozart a genius and mathematician, marc said an ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and a would be just as good as if we only were many times better. there is no mystery about how his mind works. once we understand what genius has done, we feel certain we, too, could have done it. it's different with magicians. even after we understand what they have done, it is completely dark.

mozart, marc benioff is a magician. benioff's work is like a series of lightning strokes producing one uninprovable masterpiece after another and was said of mozart and can be received marc benive. the generosity of lynn and marc benioff to our schools and in so many ways and education and growing our economy in ways that is fair. they are magicians. i have only said this about one other person, and guess who that is? bono. that was a few years ago and here we are book ends of these magicians starting the morning, ending the day with two magicians, who have the magic to make such a difference in our world. and part of their magic is the spell that they cast

enabling other people to join in in philanthropy, in justice, in ending hiv/aids as we know it now. our city responded in a wonderful way and we'll talk about it at the theater in a little while. got to have my glasses on -- but for right now, this dreamforce that we're all here about, make us part of something very magical. that will make a tremendous, tremendous difference in the world. thank you marc benioff for being the magician that you are, and working your magic spell. >> thank you. >> thank you [ applause ] let's hear it for marc. >> thank you, nancy. >> thank you, dear. now it's my pleasure and marc has 111 and salesforce. our mayor has continued the

tradition of the fight against hiv/aids with his 000 and 0 deaths and 0 discrimination against those with aids. thank you, mayor lee. >> thank you, member pelsingo. peluso. pelosi. i associate myself with every remark that nancy pelosi has said. welcome to dreamforce san francisco! [ applause ]. >> this is one of the most exciting periods of the year and marc with your salesforce, welcoming in 175,000 people and i don't even feel congested. i feel great because the innovative spirit that everybody has, their excitement coming together to not just talk about products and how to help each other out.

but also coming together to do great things. this is what cities dream of doing is having people come to their cities, working and collaborating to do great things for each other. and i will tell you, it's not bad to receive $200 million in revenue while this conference going on during the week. [ applause ] >> yes. that is how much impact this has for our city. but you know, when people talk about the company of salesforce, it's much more than the economics. in fact, i would say the best way to describe is that we really have the true civic partnership with salesforce. the civic partnership that produces an infusion of support for all of our public schools. you know our middle schools because of five years' of investment, marc, that you have made and salesforce

foundation has made, the performance by all standards is way up. the highest performing urban schools in the entire state of california because of you are infusion. [ applause ] i have never seen teachers and principles talk as if they were hired for their jobs just yesterday. because they get this innovation money to really change the culture of their campuses, not only the middle schools, but all of the schools. this is what caused the civic partnership to happen. yesterday marc, i have to say watching the news at night and kind of being tired and maybe complaining to my wife about how hard things are to get things done. then you see the blue angels at the benioff hospital with the kids going through their life trauma and to see the smiles with people going through the most difficult periods of their time and

they are at benioff hospital and the kind of support that this hospital and the medical profession you have partnered with ucsf is an incredible story that should resonate in every city around the world. education, health care, last year the salesforce movement turned out 1 million books for our students in the entire bay area. 1 million books [ applause ] that is the kind of dna that we're creating with this civic partnership. this year, i'll say as leader pelosi has said, aids has been a complicated disease tackle. and we have spent countless hours. we have had thousands of people come in whether they are doctors, health care professionals, community activists, community-based

organizations, companies, or non-profits like the san francisco aids foundation doing great, terrific work. creating a community planning clinic of leadership to do all of this. and for red to now join in this marvelous opportunity with the salesforce and dreamforce, to say that they are going to contribute $1 million to this effort to end the aids epidemic, to end new cases. last year -- we're on our way by the way because of the community activism that we have had. only 330 cases -- new cases last year. we need to get to zero. we need the promise and to fulfill that promise just like marc and leader pelosi have always said, when we make a promise we're going to be able to keep it. zero new cases, zero infections and zero stigma, and with that, i want to introduce our senior vp at the san francisco aids foundation, james. [ applause ]

. >> thank you. thank you, mr. mayor, leader pelosi and marc, it's an honor to be here and share the stage with you. we appreciate the invitation and good morning everyone, welcome to dreamforce. i will start by telling a personal story. a few years ago i was confronted by an unexpected divorce from my partner of seven years. the news understandably knocked me to my knees and depression is normally triggered by hitting one of life's rough.s and hiv experts call this "the season of risk." it can happen to any of us. personally i got to mine thanks to san francisco's network of free services for sexual health, mental health, substance health, that were available to me on-demand without shame or judgmentment, the question

am i worthy of love and belonging is one of the most fundamental we confront in our work and represents a human desire to be seen and to be valued and to connect. our city's name is synonymous with the model of care that is designed to restore dignity and heal wounds that are inflicted by poverty and racism and homophobia and violence. see here in san francisco for 30 years we have believed that people who are gay, people who are trans, people who are homeless, people engaged in sex work, people who use drugs, we are all first and foremost people. and we're all worthy of love and belonging. [ applause ] and while that is certainly not unique to san francisco, it is not nearly common enough. and with commitments from people like marc and leadership by the

astonishing leaders to my left, and from this wonderful woman who you are about to meet, i know, i know that we'll get there. this city was ground-zero for the aids epidemic, and recently just a week or two ago, san francisco department of public health released updated numbers reporting in 2015 there were 255 new infections and let's be clear, that is 255 too many and make no mistake our hardest work is ahead of us as we work to reduce seemingly intractable health disparities and bring more people in from the margins. that means developing innovative approaches to better need our transbrothers and sister and aids populations and communities of color and of people struggling to keep a roof over their head.

but momentum is on our side. because that number represents tremendous progress. that number is why we can stand here flanked by extraordinary leaders and see generous commitments from people like marc, who share our determination to get to a day when san francisco becomes the very first city to end hiv transmission. [ applause ] >> thank you. and now it's my great honor to introduce my new friend deb duggan, ceo of red. [ applause ] . >> thank you. oh, my gosh, hi everybody. this is a tad overwhelming for me, as you can see. welcome, welcome to dreamforce and i'm truly honored and humbled to be with this esteemed crowd. when you think of san

francisco in the '80s, it's so fitting we're here now because it was the courageous city that said, you know, this is all impossible that all of these people are dying, and great leaders like you, nancy, held it up like this, when nobody wants to see it. and said this cannot be. and so this proud city rallied, and here we are 30 years later, would you have ever thought and i just have to say it nancy, that you would be here at this beautiful tech conference 170,000 people hearing about red, where we are in the fight against aids? and what you can go to help? it's just astonishing and so i thank you marc for putting on this sun spotlight and this megaphone to let people know where we are today. [ applause ] ? >> so red is an organization that actually came to be to solve a problem.

so the global fund which fights malaria, tuberculous and aids and countries came and gave $5 billion, but companis did not company and in the first year $5 million came from companies and bono and bobby schriber had the idea to create a brand, a brand for good, that people would look at and be able to somehow participate. but the main thing was to bring companies and get them to be involved in the fight against aids. here we are ten years later and we have given $360 million to the global fund in fight against aids, and 70 partners have come on-board. salesforce is one of those partners that lets all of this be possible. so we started talking in 2015, and typical fashion marc comes to the table with funds for the global fund. but then with his marketing

team we started thinking, well what if there were tools that could help red run better? because we're a small group of 20 people in new york city and we actually, you know are still using spreadsheets and stuff. so there is a lot of data as everybody said here, it's incredibly complicated. we now have tools to track where is the red money going for that country, how are they in the fight against mother-to-child transmission of hiv? are they having the right ultimate return on investment, saving lives? so we do that with marketing. we do that with social media. we do that with our partners sales. we're in such a different place a year later because of salesforce tools that we use. thank you for that as well. so why are we here today? two big reasons. one is the donations; right? so you have heard that we're

trying to raise a million dollars. you can donate in various booths. you can go to the pop-up shop and buy some red things, hint. you know, and the idea is that we would try to make a million dollars. but then marc and lynn benioff have graciously said they would match that and then the bill and melinda gates would double match it and talking $4 million in four days [ applause ] that is a lot of lives saved, just got to say that outloud. the other reason we're here is for companies. to have this platform to be able to talk to companies, and say, partner with us, join us. we can't do it alone. we want to eliminate mother-child transmission of hiv by 2020 and 30 million people have died of this disease. 37 million still have it. it is the no. 1 killer of

women of reproductive age, and the no. 1 -- no. 2 killer of adolescents world and my second request, if you can donate, but if you are a company tweet at us@red. and come join us and let's make the impossible, possible. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, deb. thank you, james. thank you, ed, thank you, nancy and i will tell you what a great team we have right here and we have a great team with our whole dreamforce community as well. everyone can do one thing to make the world a little bit better and that is certainly salesforce' philosophy and we try to put that in action right here at dreamforce and a great way to do that is to make a contribution to red, buying a t-shirt or cash contribution, whatever works

for you is great where us and another thing we have to do is adopt a public school, because nothing is more important than our children's education. all of us have public schools within a few blocks of our home and if we just knock on that principal's door and ask how i can help? thank you very much for everything that you are duke we'll see you at keynote at 1:00, thank you and tonight with bono 8:00!
