INBOUND

Your wait is over my friends. The #INBOUND24 lineup has officially dropped - and this may be our best one yet?! From A-list business moguls like Ryan Reynolds, Serena Williams, and Kara Swisher, to visionary leaders from groundbreaking brands like OpenAI, WHOOP, Disney Experiences, and HubSpot (of course!), this year’s speakers will bring a whole new level of expertise to the INBOUND stage. Check out our full roster of speakers, and grab your ticket at INBOUND.com. And move fast - we have a feeling they won’t last much longer!

Please indulge me while I practice new skillz... ?? Things I learned and tools I used in this video: 1) First time using CapCut, and I think I did ok. I accidentally added the music twice, and didn't realize that I needed to trim it to match the length of the visuals. Thus, I exported the video like 5 times before I figured out that I needed to delete the extra music portions ??♀? (Maybe I should actually watch a tutorial instead of just diving right in? Nahhh...!) 2) ChatGPT helped me come up with my "P" words for each pairing. Here's my prompt: "Can you give me some words that start with the letter “P” that are synonymous with words like tired, confused, anxious, or overwhelmed?" 3) Filming by yourself + quick editing is a whole other skill. I know this format is going viral/becoming popular/favored by audiences, so I'm practicing it. But oof, I'm real bad at it ?? Even the concept was a bit of a struggle! I was brainstorming for days about a script that would be on-brand for me + fit the formula (alas, simply pulling a clip from a podcast interview doesn't cut it). Seriously though, posture matters. You look more confident and engaged, you command the space, and you can breathe better when you sit up or stand up straight. Speaking at INBOUND next week? Stand up straight. Attending a happy hour next week? Walk with purpose. Networking dinner next week? Sit up straight.

Guess who’s back? ???? Your friendly neighborhood ‘energizer’ host is back again for round three at INBOUND this year! If you see me walking around with a microphone, feel free to engage as we (yep your favorite dynamic duo CK and TS are back together) will be working with the INBOUND media team to provide you with exclusive interviews, hot takes, polls, trivia, quests, fun facts, insights, speaker and HubSpot Partner spotlights, HubFan engagements, community meetups, event recaps, and daily highlights during INBOUND 2024. And we’ll need your help in capturing the best moments, audience reactions, best dressed, most swag, IRL meetups, favorite spots, great food, stories, and so much more! When this door of opportunity opened up for me on a last minute whim two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed it would have led to all of this, all of the moments captured and experiences shared. Now, going to my fourth INBOUND in a row, third in person, I’m humbled, excited, and overjoyed to be doing something I absolutely LOVE doing for one the best conferences and, of course, one of the best communities in the world just one more time. Let’s promise to make this one count and be the biggest one yet, shall we? See you at INBOUND! ???????? #INBOUND24 #HotTakes #Host #FindTroy #HubFans

Making last minute touches on your INBOUND agenda? Check out these Education Sessions that still have open reservation space and secure your spot before the weekend:

HubSpot and Gong are the tools I use daily. Most of the times: separately Hubspot for pipeline management. Gong for call recordings and summaries. And if you were like me: you were missing out! Recently we got more data being pushed to each of the tools. And it makes a world of a difference! - for after call follow ups - for email automations - for pipeline management. During INBOUND both of the companies are planning kind of a bigger bang, so stay put till next week ???? #inbound24 #hubspot #gong #inbound

A few weeks ago, I got nominated as a correspondent for INBOUND 2024. It has been a mix of excitement and a wave of nervousness washing over me. The “what-ifs” are taking over - What if I’m not prepared enough? What if I pack the wrong things? ?? The sheer scale of this event with thousands of people, back-to-back sessions, networking opportunities with big names in the industry—makes it feel like I’m stepping into a world that’s both exciting and terrifying. Here are the most common questions on my mind: ??What should I pack? ????♀?Do I need to dress formally? ??Will I meet anyone who shares my interests, or will I feel like an outsider? ??More importantly, how can I make sure I get the most out of this experience without getting lost in the crowd? Thankfully I’ve had so many experts to read from using the #INBOUND24 tag and after reading so many posts on LinkedIn, here is what I realise - EVERYONE at INBOUND24, no matter how many times they’ve attended, are looking for something new like me and was once a first-timer too. And so, I’m breaking it down and approaching this event in a way that makes it more manageable for me. ?? I am Packing for Confidence Instead of stressing over whether I should bring casual or formal attire, I am deciding to strike a balance. Comfortable shoes are a must because of all the walking between sessions. I am packing outfits that make me feel confident and comfortable and something that helps calm my nerves. ?????? I Will Be The Friendly Face One of my concerns has been the people. What if I don’t meet anyone like me? I have reminded myself that #INBOUND24 isn’t just for industry experts so I have to also be the one people are happy to meet. To ease my anxiety, I am networking at my own level. Having a few friendly faces and conversations lined up has given me a sense of comfort. ???I Will Make the Most of the Event There’s the fear of missing out and it’s so real because the sessions are just fire ?? I’ve set realistic goals and have chosen and reserved seats for sessions that align with my professional interests while making time for networking breaks and even exploration of the city because why not? The key is being flexible and giving myself permission to skip sessions if I need to recharge. After all, this event is for my growth, and that includes pacing. ?? I Will Embrace the Experience Lastly, I remind myself why I wanted this in the first place. INBOUND24 is a chance to step outside of my comfort zone and dive into a world filled with inspiring people and ideas. It’s okay to feel anxious and that just means this event is important to me. And instead of letting the nerves take over, I am choosing to embrace them as part of my exciting experience. Hopefully I’m not alone and to everyone out there who is just like me, remember that feeling nervous is completely normal. Everything else will fall into place. If we haven’t yet, let’s connect! ?? #HubspotCommunityChampion #INBOUND2024CORRESPONDENT

INBOUND is one week away, which means.... The Out @ INBOUND Meetup is exactly a week away as well ?? After the great turnout and feebback last year, ?? Mandy Thompson ????? and I are more excited than ever to network with folks at this year's event Here is why you should attend: 1. The meetup is on the main floor this year, so it will be front and center and easy to find 2. It takes place on Day 1, so it will give you a chance to connect with like minded folks who you can be friends with throughout the rest of the conference 3. We'll be talking about things that matter to those in the LGBTQIA+ community 4. EVERYONE is welcome 5. We will have #hubcurious swag again ????? We have a new design for '24 and some great items to give away ?? (Big thank you to Allison Bendis for her work on the swag. She will be there in person this year, so everyone will need to give her big kudos!) Who is going to see us there? Comment and tag a friend who you think needs one of these shirts! ??
