2:20 pm
can good morning everybody and welcome to this beautiful day in san francisco. we're so excited to have everybody here, and i want 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
2:21 pm
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
2:22 pm
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
2:23 pm
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.
2:24 pm
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
2:25 pm
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 ]
2:26 pm
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.
2:27 pm
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
2:28 pm
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
2:29 pm
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
2:30 pm
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
2:31 pm
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
2:32 pm
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,
2:33 pm
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
2:34 pm
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
2:35 pm
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
2:36 pm
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.
2:37 pm
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?
2:38 pm
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
2:39 pm
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
2:40 pm
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! [ applause ]
2:41 pm
>> good morning. welcome to city hall. you know on october 8 during fleet week there was an event that happened on our waterfront. a boat capsized. some 30 people ended up falling into the water including children and adults and it could have been-it set the stage for a huge tragedy during a time at which so many people are our city were coming together to celebrate fleet week. when that event happened fortunately, people who have been trained in people who were good san franciscans or just
2:42 pm
people who are goodwill came together and responded. there were obviously called the were made immediately. were voters who saw what happened. some screamed at the top of their lungs that they needed help. some of the nearby voters saw what happened and saw some people without life-saving jackets werewere apparatus is through what they had into the water. others who saw kids in the water jumped in rather than watched to save them. the fire department showed up immediately assessed what has happened the san francisco police department particularly, the marine unit which i've had the pleasure of working with on the waterfront jumped in and paramedics came to the site. a
2:43 pm
couple of individuals were rescued from the water but could not breathe and so cpr was given immediately on the shores and paramedics immediately rushed those that perhaps were not indicating weight consciousness into our zuckerberg san francisco general hospital trauma center. there, life was saved when you look at this potential huge tragedy you wonder how as a city we kind of were lucky but it's not luck. i will tell you it's not luck. it is people who every day are sensing that something could happen and they were ready and this is what we have as a city often times talked about being a resilient city, a city that's ready and prepared that were so many
2:44 pm
people, not just the professionals, not just police and fire and public health and paramedics were actually trained to do this, but ordinary citizens who may have been there also had a sense. they were going to save lives and do with they could do. i, today, wanted to say thank you to each and every one that we could identify that is not working. i know fire chief feels the same way i do. our police chief feels the same way we do. our health director does as well as our department of emergency management. we are holier today to take a moment. i know in everybody's busy lives and i know you all want to get right back to work doing more of this because this is what you came to san francisco to do but let us take a moment to say thank you to recognize that in these moments of
2:45 pm
extreme need i am so gratified to be part of a city that says we are going to put aside whatever it is, whatever challenge we have, died in to that operation and save lives. save kids. save families. i watched as this unfolded and i was aghast at how many people were in the water with film footage is that are repeated over and over again. but i think the film footage i want to see and continue to see is the operations of people who respond in a very very good way. no one lost their lives that day. that is hugely important when you have an event of this magnitude. lives were saved, not only in the water, on the shore, on the way to the hospital, but in the hospital as well. doctors, nurses, paramedics, firefighters, police officers,
2:46 pm
volunteers, and other boaters. today i just want to say on behalf of the city and county of san francisco it is my honor to join all of you in personally thank you for really you are sure it was him. i know it's kind of maybe two dramatic to use that word but we do have a city of heroes, a city were prepared to be heroes because they want that label but because your objective is to save people's lives and to make sure that we all get to enjoy much as we week, but to enjoy this city and the opportunities it provides. i, for one, and certainly everybody in my staff and all the people that serve it officially want to say, thank you and if i the opportunity i would like to at least take-make for personal
2:47 pm
pins as my staff and i and the chief and others helped me pin every single one of you.. i hope that you received this with the requisite appreciation that i do as the mayor of this great city, but also that i've been around now for 30 years working in the workforce. so i am a brother to all of you. because i know i've worked alongside people who are really really dedicated to this city. but i say personally, thank you to each and every one of you for the work that you do the demonstration you showed the patients, and the honor of preserving life in our city and i know that as these kids grow up and of course come i think they will remember it for the rest of their lives because they get to but they'll be very thankful for the kinds of things that we do for each other. with that, if i may have in him can prepare this and i can get help from our chief as
2:50 pm
2:51 pm
pinned today with a certificate of honor and again on behalf of the city, thank you very much achieves, thank you for helping me do this and honoring the men and women and also the volunteers in her hospital as well. thank you. he was thank you mayor day. very proud to be a good high-tech oh your comments. every one of you stepped up that day and mayer lee thank you this did not event occurring 11 days ago for your office which is a very big book very busy office to recognize all these members such a rapid period of time speaks volumes and is free much appreciated by myself and achieve as well as all our members. so i will begin asking each one my members to come on up to receive the mayor certificate of honor garden with capt. john would go.
2:52 pm
2:53 pm
2:54 pm
2:55 pm
>> from the event are dormant thank you to mayor lee and thank you to the members behind me and all the members the work so diligently that they would all the partners. >>[applause] >> just real fast, this is a first responder worst nightmare to look and see this many potential victims but all the folks stating the honey stepped up to the plate went immediately into action. that's what we trained for things just like this. our marine units have the obligation of obviously handing handling things in the water is why you see them out all the time to deal with issues just like this and i promised them i would also give a huge shout out to the kos guard who actually got 20 people out to safety. they wanted to make sure that they ignored the us coast guard for their efforts and for what they've done. this is a huge collaboration between as the mayor said earlier private citizens in the folks that put
2:56 pm
on a uniform to do this thing as a matter of course. again i want to really liberate that these are heroes and these were a relic actions performed that day because this is definitely worst-case scenario. with that of the first presentation that will be to officer nick betancourt cured i'm sorry nick is not here. sgt. keith matthews. >> >>[cermonial honoring] >> next up, officer mike bushnell. >> >>[cermonial honoring]
2:58 pm
>> >>[cermonial honoring] >> is kaplan and i know it's all about the teamwork and i was reminded by chief bodo south san francisco fire department happen to be in the area because it was clear week so we were blessed in so many ways for good samaritans and our partners in neighboring jurisdictions in south b van fire was responsible for rescuing eight of those 30 in the water that day. so we would
2:59 pm
like to give them a shout out and acknowledgments as well. thank you very much >> the last thing i'll say this is a coincidence of the future and the future is collaboration between everybody. law enforcement, fire, ems everyone and citizens. we've all come together in this city has been one out of unity and it was demonstrated appropriately in this incident with the civilian helping fire, police, pulpy groundwater and save their lives. as the mayor said before there's a lot people that are low back on this 20-30 years on the road and understand as are looking back because of the relic effort with the folks sitting behind me and again was round of applause for all them. thank you. >> >>[applause] >> this concludes our program. thank you so much for coming. >> >> >>
