April 6, 2026INBOUND is Now UNBOUND: Why We’re Evolving the Event
After fifteen years, HubSpot’s INBOUND event is becoming: UNBOUND.
That naturally raises a question. Why change the name at all? Fifteen years is a long time. The world didn't stand still and neither did we.
Over the past several years, we've heard two consistent reactions from the practitioners, marketers, and growth leaders who have made INBOUND what it is. First: deep appreciation for what INBOUND established. Second: recognition that the world it was created for has changed across teams, across technology, and across the customer journey. And so has HubSpot.
This evolution is our response to that reality. INBOUND is becoming UNBOUND because growth no longer fits within a single framework or function. Today, it covers marketing, sales, service, and operations across the full customer journey in an AI-driven environment. UNBOUND reflects that expanded reality and the mindset required to lead through it.
INBOUND laid the foundation. UNBOUND embraces what growth has become.

March 3, 2026Why Professional Development Is the Smartest Retention Strategy Right Now
Employee appreciation often looks the same: a catered lunch, a public thank-you, maybe a thoughtful gift card. Those gestures matter and they reinforce culture and signal gratitude, but for high-performing teams, appreciation alone isn’t enough. The most ambitious people on your team are thinking about something bigger as they watch how AI is accelerating the pace of work across marketing, sales, and customer experience. They’re wondering how their role will evolve over the next year and whether they’re staying ahead of it. The leaders who are winning on retention right now are building teams that are adaptable, AI-fluent, and aligned around growth. That's a different kind of appreciation and it starts with a different kind of question. Not "how do I celebrate my team?" but "how do I invest in them?"Community
February 13, 2026Love Notes from INBOUND: Why Professionals Attend
There’s a certain kind of energy you can’t manufacture. It happens when smart, curious, ambitious people gather in one place to share, challenge, and grow together. INBOUND, one of the leading marketing, sales, and AI conferences in the world, brings together thousands of professionals each year to learn, connect, and grow. Most of us got into our work because we love solving problems, we love building things, and we love turning ideas into impact. INBOUND has a way of amplifying that feeling. And when we asked attendees what they loved most about the event, their answers had everything to do with connection, clarity, and momentum. These are the love notes from INBOUND.Community

September 29, 2025AI, Data, and the Future of Go-to-Market with HubSpot
My first INBOUND as a HubSpotter didn’t disappoint. What stood out most wasn’t just the scale—13,000+ people—it was the authenticity. From Dharmesh’s keynote on what AI is and how to win with it, to a practical marketing playbook for the AI era, to product demos that spoke for themselves, INBOUND felt like a working session for the future of go-to-market.Community
September 26, 2025Building Hybrid Teams: What INBOUND 2025 Taught Us About AI
At INBOUND this year, one theme was impossible to miss: AI is everywhere. It’s dominated every headline, boardroom, and conference stage. Expectations are sky-high. But when you look closer, the reality is complicated. At the event, I spoke with business leaders who were stuck between two extremes. Some are waiting to “see how it all pans out,” and others are exhausted from juggling dozens of disconnected AI tools. Different approaches, same result: not enough real progress. That’s the gap we need to close. AI isn’t just about POCs or slick demos. It’s about how humans and AI work together to help businesses grow.Community
September 22, 2025The Future of Customer Service Is Here: New Service Hub Features from INBOUND 2025
My first thought after INBOUND 2025? It’s easy to miss a product update or two… especially when there are more than 200! But if you’re focused on scaling support, driving efficiency, and putting AI to work in real customer conversations, the Service Hub updates were impossible to ignore. From the new Customer Agent that taps into your CRM to answer (and act on) customer questions, to a faster, smarter Help Desk experience, to AI that helps write your next Knowledge Base article—this was a big moment for Service teams. I’m sharing the highlights that stood out to me as GM and VP of Product for Service Hub, and why I think they’ll make a real difference in how your teams show up for customers.
