We had the opportunity to attend Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, held from September 25th till 28th in San Francisco. It was the usual 'zoo' of marketing spend and attendees all over San Francisco. Salesforce claimed over 170k in person attendees, at least on Tuesday it did not feel like that.

Just over two years ago, I kicked off my analyst career with a blog post on Vista Equity’s acquisition of Marketo. It is befitting to share my thoughts now on the Adobe-Marketo union as I recently exited the analyst world for a CMO role.
First let’s talk the deal, $4.75 billion - this is the largest transaction in the MarTech space and Vista Equity made a healthy flip from the $1.79b purchase just over two years ago.
