San Francisco May Lose Lucrative Tech Conference Because of Drugs and Homelessness, Organizer Says

Marc Benioff, cofounder and CEO of Salesforce, said his company may be hosting its final “Dreamforce” tech conference in San Francisco this year, pointing to attendees’ fears about safety in the city.
Benioff said he projects the event, which will run from Sept. 12-14, will bring 40,000 people to the city and inject $57 million into the downtown economy.
“If this Dreamforce is impacted by the current situation with homelessness and drug use, it may be the last Dreamforce,” Benioff told the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday.
