You’ve spent the last year cultivating relationships in online communities, and INBOUND 2025 is where these relationships thrive and new ones form. We’re excited for all of the opportunities to learn, get inspired and unlock our full potential. 

 

Make sure you check out must-attend sessions and some know-before-you-go advice from your fellow Champions!

 

Plan your schedule

Head to the INBOUND Agenda to pick your favorites so you are ready when limited-capacity sessions open.

 

VIP ticket holders get early access to reservations starting August 5.

General Admission attendees can reserve seats beginning August 12.

 

Saving Seats for Limited-Capacity Sessions: Certain sessions—like Education Sessions, Deep Dives, and HubSpot Academy Labs—require a seat reservation. If a session needs a reservation, you'll see a “Reservation Required” label on the session card and a Save a Seat button next to the “Add to Favorites” icon. 

 

Clicking Save a Seat will fill the chair icon and update the label to “Reserved”. To make changes, just click Unreserve Seat to release your spot.

Champions Chime In: INBOUND Tips & Tricks

We asked your fellow Champions their best practices to make the most of the INBOUND and stay energized. 

 

The Essentials: What to Pack

 

“My tips from the last 2 in-person INBOUNDS:

  • Super comfy shoes (might want to think about to bring a second pair as well)

  • Stay hydrated: Bring your favorite water bottle with you.

  • bring a powerbank that will allow you to charge your device(s) for a day.” - @Anton 

“I'd recommend:

  • wearing an outfit with layers, so you can take off and add on as you need 

  • a backpack, to stash all your swag (and the layers you're not wearing)!" - @HFisher7 

 

The Sessions: How to Prepare

 

“Download the app, and check your phone regularly. I mean, that's the only way you'll know when the pop-up snack stands happen!” - @melindagreen 

 

"There are a TON of after-parties and events that go on at night so you're going to want to check out who's got what (usually advertised on LinkedIn prior to #INBOUND2025) that way you can make your list for each night and know where to be and who with!" - @nlafakis 

 

“Don't be afraid to say hi to someone you recognize from LinkedIn or other social media. Everyone is open to chatting, and the vibe of the event is super relaxed. Even when you see Brian Halligan walking around and you want a picture with him, ask for it and smile.” - @KlemenHrovat 

 

“Save your seats early. I can't tell you how many sessions I've missed out on because I forgot to save my seat for it. Save a seat for every session you want to attend. The seats fill up fairly quickly so you want to make sure you can actually have a fair shot of attending." @AlonahLarbie 

 

The Secret Weapons: Be Ahead of the Curve

 

"Starbucks Mobile App - the lines for Starbucks in the morning WILL be insane, as you are getting ready in the AM maybe 45-50 mins priorto leaving for the day, put your order in through the app. You'll have a minimum wait or no wait at all" - @JWingate2 

 

“Bring a Mobile Hotspot (Amazon or Walmart) - ensure you don’t get stuck in a dead zone or poor signal” - @nlafakis 

 

Most importantly, all of our Champions stressed how important it is to stay open. Say hi to the person you recognize from LinkedIn, reach out to your favorite speaker to see if they have time to chat, go to a meetup where you don’t know anyone. INBOUND is a place of opportunity and inspiration. You never know who you will meet!
