INBOUND 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.

    MKBHD at INBOUND: Why Truth, Focus, and Audience-First Thinking Win

    If you spend any time on YouTube watching tech reviews, chances are you’ve stumbled across a video by Marques Brownlee—better known as MKBHD.
