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 Build Your UNBOUND Schedule in Minutes

    Your UNBOUND schedule should be built around you. With three days and 200+ sessions, it may seem like there are a lot of decisions standing between you and your ideal schedule. This year, there's a better option: the UNBOUND 2026 Agenda Builder is here to do most of that work for you. It pulls in what we already know about you from your registration, builds a full three-day schedule around your role and goals, and gives you the tools to refine it from there. For registered attendees, it's available now. Here's how it works.

    Your Starting Lineup for UNBOUND 2026: Match Your Goals to Must-Attend Sessions

    Every great team shows up with a game plan. With 200+ sessions across three days, the UNBOUND agenda is stacked. but showing up without a clear sense of what you came to accomplish is the fastest way to return to work on Monday without much to show for it. Here’s the move: set your goals and work backward from there. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered with five specific outcomes and a curated starting lineup for each. Whether you're planning your own schedule or putting together a team roster, pick your goal and start here.

    What AI Can't Upskill For You, And What To Do About It

    Everyone is racing to learn the tools, the prompting skills, the agents, and workflows. That's not wrong. But the practitioners getting the most out of AI share something that doesn't show up on a tools list. They have the judgment to know when an output is wrong, the creativity to ask questions the models haven't encountered, and the self-direction to act when no one hands them a plan. The problem is that human skills require active investment to maintain, and many professionals are so focused on keeping up with AI that they've quietly stopped making that investment. We asked five UNBOUND 2026 speakers the same question: as AI upskilling dominates the conversation, what's the one human skill people need most right now and aren't investing in enough? Here's what they said.

    The UNBOUND 2026 Agenda Is Live: Here's Where Every Growth Leader Should Start

    The usual playbooks are no longer enough. Every growth leader is sitting with the same questions right now: How do we actually use AI to drive revenue? What does a modern go-to-market engine look like? How do we stay visible when buyers aren't searching the way they used to? Which bets are worth making? UNBOUND was built around those questions. The 2026 agenda is live, featuring 200+ sessions with practitioners, founders, and operators who have already answered those questions and are ready to share what happened. Start exploring what’s live now by day, time, role, topic, and more. In July, the remaining sessions drop alongside Agenda Builder, where attendees will be able to put together their personal schedule in minutes. For limited-capacity sessions, reservations open for VIP on August 25 and for General Admission on September 1. Here's where to start.

    INBOUND Changed Business And Boston Is Where It All Comes Full Circle

    Every movement has an origin story. This one starts at MIT. In 2004, Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah met in Cambridge and started arguing for something that felt obvious to them and radical to almost everyone else: the best businesses grow by giving, not taking. They called it inbound marketing, and they started building a community around it before they had a product, a platform, or a stage. Two years later, HubSpot was founded in Cambridge, and by 2011 the idea had all three.

    The Half-Year Reset: Tactics and Strategies to Double Down On Before September

    You're six months into 2026 and the goals you set in January are either tracking or they're not… and by now, you know which. June is the gut-check moment and it’s time to make the two or three targeted changes that will make a difference come September. We pulled the three highest-leverage tips from four of our most-read pieces—for marketers, content and SEO teams, sales, and CX—and packaged them as your half-year reset, one discipline at a time. Pick your section, audit your current approach, and then decide what changes before Q3.

    How Top CMOs Are Using AI for B2B Marketing Strategy

    Brand is back. Not because CMOs decided it mattered more, but because AI changed where buyers start, and for most B2B buyers today, that's no longer your website. A G2 study shared at INBOUND 2025 found that 51% of buyers say they go to an LLM first. In that context, three CMOs, Suzanne Kounkel of Deloitte, Lena Waters of Notion, and Sydney Sloan of G2, covered what B2B AI marketing strategy actually looks like in practice: the brand questions, the agent questions, and what happens when you start thinking of AI as a collaborator. The through-line: the CMOs generating real results right now are the ones running many experiments instead of one big bet, building brand presence outside the channels they've historically owned, and using AI to think faster, not just produce faster.

    What Top VCs See in the AI Growth Stack (And What They're Betting On Next)

    At INBOUND 2025, HubSpot Ventures managing director Adam Coccari brought three of Silicon Valley's most active AI investors together on the Main Stage: Jennifer Li of Andreessen Horowitz, Josh Coyne of Kleiner Perkins, and Sonya Huang of Sequoia Capital. These three have collectively backed some of the most-watched AI companies in the market right now, and their portfolios are where real AI GTM strategy is getting stress-tested at scale. What they shared was a read on what's actually working, what's still broken, and where most companies are leaving value on the table.

    Growth Without Limits Starts Here. Introducing the UNBOUND 2026 Main Stage.

    You knew INBOUND. This September, we're taking it further. This year’s Main Stage reflects exactly what our new UNBOUND era demands: people who’ve survived pressure, disruption, and rapid change and have come out the other side with something real to show for it. Every name on this stage is here for the same reason. They’re here for what they’ve done, and more importantly, for what they know and what you’ll be able to put to work the moment you’re back with your team. Let's get into it.
