HUGs are a free, community-led events to gather HubSpot customers and users to learn best practices from peers. HUGs serve to educate and inspire customers and users to be more successful by providing support, community, and product education.
HUG members share their product and business success stories, take part in discussions, and network with others to build a strong HubSpot community in their local city (e.g. Denver HUG) or around their industry, role, or topic of interest (e.g. Video HUG, Homebuilding HUG).
Both! Our location-based HUGs meet in person regularly to connect, network, and learn something new. The topic, industry, role, and identity-based HUG chapters are virtually. Check out events.hubspot.com/events to see all upcoming events.
You'll hear from the HUG leader when new events are published and receive a couple reminders leading up to events you've registered for. You can update your communication preferences at any time.
Anyone directly involved in our HubSpot community can lead a HUG. This includes employees from our Solution Partners, Academy Professors, Community Champions, HubFans and Advocates, and even direct customers.
However, we do require that HUG Leaders be certified in our core methodologies and software.
HUGs are not to be used as a direct method to drive leads or traffic to your website. For more information on who can apply, check out our HUG guidelines.
