What Not to Do at INBOUND

Please follow these valuable tips and suggestions to ensure you have a great time at INBOUND by HubSpot.

How to Pack

You won’t need to bring too much for INBOUND, just like for any other 4- to 5-day trip.

Make sure you bring everything you need by following these tips.

You should wear business casual clothes. You should bring professional but comfortable business casual clothes because you’ll be moving around and attending classes all day.
Get ready for cooler nights. Layers, like a light sweater or jacket, can help you deal with the changing temperatures at the meeting site.
Put on shoes that feel good. Because INBOUND can last all day and night, it’s essential to wear comfortable shoes that can handle standing and walking for extended amounts of time.
Bring the things you need. Do not forget to bring a laptop or tablet and a phone charger to make getting around the meeting easier. Bring a bag and keep your phone charger close so you don’t have to worry about your phone dying.
Remember to bring your business cards. HubSpot INBOUND is a great way to meet others in sales, marketing, and customer service. Make sure your business cards are easy to access so you can use chances to network.

How to Travel

It’s always helpful to be ready before a work trip.

Here are some tips that will help you get to INBOUND quickly:

Make hotel and flight reservations early. Making reservations early can help you get the best deals and stay in the most handy places. HubSpot has teamed up with hotel provider ePeak to help guests find cheap rooms at many hotels in the area. Another popular choice is Airbnb. Visit INBOUND’s hotel page here to see the complete list of hotels.
Be smart about where you stay. If you book your hotel or Airbnb, pick one close to the event site for easy access and the chance to meet new people.
Take the bus or use an app to share a ride. It is hard to find and expensive to rent and park a car in this U.S. city. To get to and from the conference location, use public transportation or ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft to save money on transportation costs and time spent parking.
Keep all the papers you need close at hand. Make sure you have easy access to all the travel papers you need, like your ID, passport (if you are traveling internationally), confirmation of your conference registration, and information about where you will stay.

Take a look at trip insurance. If your trip is long or far, you might want to buy travel insurance to protect yourself if something unexpected happens, like your flight getting canceled or a medical emergency.

How to Get Ready for a Virtual Experience

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, HubSpot now has a virtual event for people who can’t make it to the real one.

Even though the virtual experience differs from being there in person, it is still precious and a unique chance to connect with experts and other workers in the same field.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your online time:

Set aside a space to work. Pick a quiet, comfortable place free of other things that might hinder focusing on the sessions and talks.
Get your tools ready. Get all the software and hardware you’ll need (laptop, speakers, microphone, etc.) ready before the meeting. Check to see if your internet connection is stable and quick enough to stream.
Try out the platform ahead of time. Make sure you know how to use the virtual event platform and how to join sessions, network, and get to other tools.
Make plans. Make up your mind beforehand about what you want to get out of the virtual experience. This will help you make the most of your time. You can then decide which sessions and talks are the most important for you to go to.
Plan to pay for full access if you need it. HubSpot has given users full access to all material in the past for an extra fee. Full access might be worth the extra money if you want to see digital-only material and have a library of sessions you can watch again later.

How to Book a Session

It would be best if you planned to get the most out of INBOUND because there is a lot to do and not much time.

Here are some tips on how to book your sessions:

Make a plan ahead of time. Make a list of the classes you want to attend before the event. This will help you plan and maximize your time at the event.
Make networking opportunities a priority. Many networking opportunities are available at INBOUND, but attendees often don’t have enough time to use them. Most likely, you’ll already be in touch with business peers ahead of time, but you might want to prioritize networking opportunities that fit your goals.
Sign up ahead of time for lessons. You should book your classes beforehand to ensure you get a seat and don’t miss anything.
Use the list of people who are waiting. Take your name off the list if the class you want is whole. If someone drops out at the last minute, you might still be able to get a seat.
Don’t make your schedule too complete. It’s easy to make too many plans for yourself between meetings, social events, and other things you want to do. Follow the plan, and ensure plenty of time for breaks and talking between classes.

Get Together

Inbound by HubSpot has excellent parties and evening events that are one of the best parts of these events. There are many things to do in person after work every year. For example, HubSpot hosts social events for meeting new people and networking.

The exact parties may change from year to year, but here’s a general idea of the kinds of events you can expect:

Events for networking: During the conference, INBOUND often has different themed events for networking, giving attendees many chances to meet people in the same field or with similar interests.

Events held by sponsors: Many INBOUND sponsors and exhibitors throw their parties or happy hours at places other than the convention center.
Informal meetups: Besides official events and parties, conference attendees often plan casual dinners, lunches, or trips to get to know other professionals in the host city and connect with them outside the conference location.
