This blog was updated throughout the INBOUND 23 conference. Bookmark this page, follow us on LinkedIn or subscribe to receive HubSpot-related round-ups straight to your inbox.
Whilst the conference is definitely leaning back into being an in-person event, thankfully, HubSpot is still live-streaming the keynotes and some other big talks.
You can watch them on YouTube too...
Partner Day was back! After a three-year hiatus, INBOUND eve saw a return of the HubSpot Partner-only event. This is where Solution, App and Service partners gather to hear about all things HubSpot Ecosystem.
A lot of the day is centred around confidential (for now) updates on the HubSpot product and its roadmap but we can still talk about the prevailing themes and what it means for HubSpot customers.
Here are Will and Elle discussing the key takeaway of the day: HubSpot's leaning into AI in a big way and how it's there to Assist us not replace us.
The big takeaways from the day were:
FUN FACT: The HubSpot App Ecosystem has gone past the 1,500 mark and is still growing. APIs that are getting unlocked are all about making our lives more productive by allowing HubSpot to talk to more out-of-platform software in messaging, reporting and automation.
It was also a chance for partners to hear from Yamini Rangan, HubSpot CEO, who was interviewed by Ingunn Bjøru, Avidly COO.
The conference opened with the HubSpot Spotlight on the Main Stage. Three talks from people leaders inside HubSpot:
If you saw the HubSpot Spotlight, what did you make of it? I'd love to hear from you on this post.
Besides the reimagined Sales Hub centred around a Smart CRM and using HubSpot AI (Clemens in our German studio said, "109% closing rate improvement [that their study showed] would be quite beneficial!") there were some other standout features announced:
Plus, as well as helping us make connections with prospects more easily, HubSpot AI and the other product updates are also going to have a positive impact on HubSpot Academy:
FUN FACT: HubSpot have released over 200 product updates as part of this year's INBOUND conference. If you want to know what they all are in a nutshell: The Sales Hub has been rebuilt, HubSpot AI has baked AI into all the tool we use in various forms of "Assistants", and everything is setting you up to spend time working more creatively and building stronger connections with prospects and customers.
Day 2 and we're still reeling from the scale of the announcements made over the first day of the conference: 200 product improvements, HubSpot AI, various AI Assistants, a reimagined Sales Hub alongside four other Hubs (Marketing, CMS, Ops and Service) culminating into a Smart CRM.
But what is a Smart CRM? How does it all come together/
Amongst the various talks we attended on Day 2, we set out to make sure we got clarification on how HubSpot, a Smart CRM and 200 other updates come together to help you make stronger connections faster with your prospects and customers.
So, we spoke to Nicholas Holland, HubSpot's VP of Product and GM of Marketing and CMS Hubs, and he explained it to us:
Key Note from Day 2: Whilst attending over 20 talks between us as a team during the day, when sharing our favourite learnings over our evening meal, nothing seemed to beat this piece of golden advice from Marcus Sheridan: Buyers are in charge. They decide where we should market to them and how. We have to provide for them and not expect them to bend to us.
The jet lag is real at this point of INBOUND.
Full-on days packed with learnings, networking and tasty food and drink. It's amazing, don't get me wrong. But you do need to dig deep when Friday arrives.
What's great is that there are encores of talks you couldn't get a seat at earlier in the week and a big name brings things to a close.
Reese Witherspoon saw things home this year and it was a brilliant way to end the week. Besides her magnetic character and storytelling style, she's a force for change with some amazing business learnings to share.
All that and some inspirational quotes to boot, like this...
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "What other people think of you is none of your business," She said, "And once you do that, you're free to do what you to do."
Yep. A pretty damn good line, isn't it?
When it came to key learnings, we couldn't help being reflective of the whole week. There were certainly some consistent themes at INBOUND 23:
If you want to hear from a few more people who were there in person, here are Avidly's Tom Cross, Elle Calvert and Will Troup sharing their key takeaways from INBOUND 23:
