INBOUND2013-1Today, HubSpot kicked off the world’s largest gathering of inbound marketers, INBOUND 2013, for a week of inspiring sessions, big-name speakers, and Grammy-nominated entertainment. INBOUND keynote speakers for this year include Arianna Huffington, Nate Silver, Seth Godin, Scott Harrison, and HubSpot co-founders Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah. The event will bring more than 5,000 marketers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders from 35 countries around the world to Boston’s Hynes Convention Center.

HubSpot’s CMO Mike Volpe said of the conference, “INBOUND reflects the massive growth of the inbound marketing movement: we have over 140 sessions, 159 speakers, and 14 best-selling authors in this year’s lineup. Marketers adopt inbound strategies and techniques because they are more measurable, efficient, and effective, and consumers respond to inbound marketing because it mirrors how they live, work, shop, and buy. lNBOUND is the ultimate celebration of customers, partners, followers, and fans of inbound marketing and a truly remarkable conference experience for attendees and speakers alike.”
