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.

    How to Grow Your Organization Without Losing its Identity

    How do you transform a legacy organization without losing the magic that made it great in the first place? It's a challenge that trips up even the most seasoned leaders. But when it comes to driving meaningful change, few leaders have the unique perspective of Dr. David A. Thomas, Harvard Business School professor and president of Morehouse College. At INBOUND 2024, Thomas sat down with PBS NewsHour's Geoff Bennett to unpack the balancing act of organizational transformation: how to honor the past while building for the future. Whether you're leading a 157-year-old-institution or scaling a fast-moving startup, his insights are a must-hear for anyone negotiating change with purpose.

    Content Is Not King: The New Approach To Content Marketing

    At INBOUND 2024, Neil Patel, digital marketing expert and co-founder of NP Digital, challenged one of the industry's longest standing ideas at INBOUND 2024: Content is no longer king.

But let's face it: with 4.6 billion pieces of content published every single day, the content game has changed and used to work, isn't as effective today. But, before you delete your blog, hear Patel out. His insights and data are a reminder that there's plenty of opportunity for businesses ready to adapt. Here's how.
