INBOUND 2025: Where AI Meets Imagination |
|
Remember the last conference you attended where the coffee was terrible, the WiFi never worked, and the only memorable moment was when someone's phone went off during a keynote? Yeah, INBOUND 2025 is NOT that conference. |
HubSpot's throwing their flagship event in San Francisco this September 3-5, and they're basically taking everything we know about AI and asking, "But what if we made it actually useful?" |
For the first time ever, they're bringing the whole show to the West Coast, promising three days of demos, ideas, and insights to create actual AI products. |

The Speaker Lineup That Made Us Do a Double-Take |
Here's where it gets interesting. They're putting Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei (yes, the guy behind Claude) on the same stage as Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn. Because apparently, AI is like cooking—both need the right ingredients and occasionally catch fire before working. |
The headliner list reads like someone's dream dinner party: Emmy-winner Amy Poehler (teaching us about brand voice), tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD to his 18 million subscribers, of which we are one!), and Sean Evans from "Hot Ones" (who knows a thing or two about making people sweat through tough questions). The message is clear: great ideas come from everywhere, not just Silicon Valley boardrooms. |
11 Stages, 3 Zones, and Probably Like 1,000 LinkedIn Posts |
Walking through the Moscone Center won't feel like your typical business conference. INBOUND's setting up 11 different stages… so you know this conference is gonna shell out for the good coffee. |
The Tech Stack Showcase is where you'll see AI tools that actually work with HubSpot's CRM (not just claim to). And the Innovation Arena is trying something new—an in-the-round stage that puts you literally in the center of the action. Think of it like theater, but instead of Shakespeare, it's someone explaining how they automated their entire sales process. But who knows, maybe if rival Meta and OpenAI team members show up at the round, we could get a little Shakespeare-style drama, too! |
They've organized everything into three main zones (because humans love things in threes): |
Innovation Zone: This is nerd heaven. You've got the Innovation Arena, an Agent Showcase where you can actually build your own AI agents, plus a Creators Corner where you can watch influencers do their thing live. It's like Twitch, but for business content. Impact Zone: Featuring something called Braindate for peer-to-peer networking. Translation: structured ways to meet people without the awkward "so... what do you do?" small talk. Finally! HubSpot Zone: The product playground with the HubSpot Heroes Stage (real customers, real stories), the Spotlight Product Demo Stage (see it before you have to sell it to your boss), and expanded HubSpot Academy Labs for hands-on workshops (because who reads documentation?).

Real People, Real Results (Not Just LinkedIn Humble Brags) |
The speaker roster is heavy on people who've actually done stuff, not just talked about it. Email strategist Jay Schwedelson will share the A/B tests behind his ridiculous open rates (spoiler: it's not just using more emojis). And Beth Dunn from Agent.ai is tackling the question we're all thinking: "Where do humans fit when AI can write, design, and pretty soon probably make better coffee than us?" |
Plus, the opening HubSpot Spotlight will reveal their latest take on AI-powered customer platforms. The Innovation Zone gives you early access to tools that aren't even on Product Hunt yet. And the new Creators Corner lets you watch content pros record live shows and test prompt engineering in real-time. Like MasterClass, but you can ask questions live. |
A $50K Reality Check for Your AI Startup |
Here's something that caught our attention: HubSpot Media and HubSpot for Startups are hosting an AI pitch competition called The Next Big AIdea with $50K cash on the line. The judges? Top YouTubers, podcasters, and HubSpot media creators who actually know what resonates with audiences. |
This isn't your typical pitch competition where VCs nod politely while checking their phones. Winners get headline coverage across HubSpot's newsletters, which means actual customers might see your product. |
Submissions just opened up, but the deadline is July 25th, so don't wait if you want to pitch! |
Why San Francisco? Why Now? Why Should You Care? |
Choosing San Francisco isn't just about good weather and overpriced avocado toast (California, am I right?). The city that gave us everything from the Gold Rush to Twitter understands what it means to bet big on new ideas. INBOUND's evolution from marketing meetup to full-scale growth conference mirrors the city's own transformation. And hey, we're hearing "the bay is back, baby!" |
Now lets get real: The AI era doesn't care about your job title. It rewards people who can bounce between spreadsheets and creative briefs, who can prompt an AI to write code in the morning and design a campaign in the afternoon. Those who can juggle context, different domains, and execute quickly will be the winners in this new hyper-speed era. INBOUND 2025 is built for developing that kind of flexibility. |
You'll leave with three things: connections to people who get it, tools you can use Monday morning, and the confidence that AI is here to amplify what you do best (plus the know-how to wield it). For anyone serious about growing in the AI era, these three days at Moscone Center might be the best investment you make all year. |
