Networking at INBOUND: How to Connect Like a Pro

Networking at INBOUND is about sparking those “aha” moments, finding your next big idea, and connecting with people who just get it. Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned pro, at INBOUND, you’ll find a dynamic and flexible space to meet like-minded professionals.

WHY NETWORKING IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS

INBOUND is the event where marketing, sales, customer success, and RevOps leaders come together to share what’s next in the world of business. Beyond the Main Stage sessions and breakout content, the real magic happens in the connections you make. INBOUND creates the perfect vibe and backdrop for you to meet potential new collaborators, clients, partners, and maybe even your next bestie.

MEETUPS: YOUR FAST TRACK TO MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS

Think of Meetups as your gateway to meet some of the industry’s best and brightest. These gatherings are all about connecting with people who share your passions, challenges, and interests—whether you’re deep into data, obsessed with the latest AI platforms, or pioneering new sales strategies.

Pro tip: Pick Meetups that match your goals and interests — and don’t be shy. Sometimes the best connections come from stepping out of your comfort zone.

NETWORKING BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER

INBOUND communities are where the conversations start and keep going long after the event ends. Whether it’s online or in-person, these are spaces where you can connect with others who are just as pumped as you are about attending INBOUND.

Connect.com has a special community dedicated to INBOUND attendees. Meet new people, find attendee-led events, and easily access your Klik contact exchanges on the platform even after the event is over. Create your profile now!

FIND THE HIDDEN NETWORKING GEMS

Need a break? INBOUND’s various Power-Up Lounges are perfect for striking up a conversation. These chill zones are all about informal networking so don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to someone new. Attendee spaces like The Spot and HubSpot HQ are equally great areas for organic conversation and meeting new people.

Deep Dives and Education Sessions aren’t just about learning—they’re also prime opportunities to network. These interactive sessions naturally encourage collaboration and discussion, making it easier to meet people who share your work interests. After the session, make it a point to click badges and exchange contact information to keep the conversation going (and if you create a Connect.com profile, you'll be able to access those contact exchanges at any time during and after INBOUND).

Seek out and take advantage of all the networking formats INBOUND has to offer. From lounges and attendee spaces to collaborative sessions, each one is a golden opportunity to build relationships.
