HubSpot's Partner Advisory Councils
Share your feedback and help shape the future of HubSpot's Partner program
What are Partner Advisory Councils?
The Partner Advisory Councils (PACs) serve as a vital insights engine for HubSpot, providing critical input from our partner community to inform key decisions.
Over the years our PAC has evolved from a singular group to several specialised PACs to reflect the growing diversification of HubSpot and our customers. Through our PACs, we gather partner feedback that helps shape the evolution of our partner program, product roadmap, and other partner-related initiatives. By keeping partner perspectives central to HubSpot's strategy, the PACs foster collaboration and ensure alignment across our ecosystem.
We do this in two ways:
- We have two live regionally timed sessions a year to come together to discuss and learn.
- We use real-time online platforms (e.g. Slack) so that PAC members can share feedback directly with HubSpotters in real-time.
It's a core HubSpot tenet to elevate diverse voices, and this same philosophy extends to the Partner Advisory Councils. We are looking for partners who can bring diverse perspectives to the PACs and represent the increasing diversity of our partner community and customer base.

Being part of the PAC has been an amazing learning and sharing experience. Every PAC partner brings a nuanced point of view on new initiatives taken up by HubSpot before they are globally launched. And the HubSpot team truly listens to the feedback shared.

It was an honor to be invited to the PAC and to genuinely contribute ideas in such a provocative and diverse environment, among relevant partners from all over LATAM. As a Hubspot admirer and long-terrm partner, I can also attest that they are different even in how they deal with their partners.

Partners can apply to more than one PAC.
Please check with your assigned Partner Development Manager (PDM) to see if someone else in your company has already applied for a PAC.
Regional PAC groups will hold twice virtual, 90-minute meetings throughout the PAC calendar year. It's expected that each PAC member attends all meetings
Partners are expected to engage in the PAC online platform at least once a month. Unengaged partners will be removed and replaced.

Once applications close, a group of HubSpotters will independently review applications for each region. Each year, we aim to build an inclusive PAC cohort that is representative of the diversity of our partner community. Our team carefully takes into consideration several factors, including diversity of thought and experience within the partner program.
Yes, PAC members need to reapply if they would like to potentially participate in future PACs. Please note that application acceptance is not guaranteed for any previous PAC member, as we look to bring new voices into the conversation.
No, elite-tiered partners are not automatically accepted into the PAC. As we continue to grow our partner community, it's important that we actively include diverse perspectives and have representation from all tier levels.
All PAC applications will be considered for the PAC itself and other feedback opportunities as they become available throughout the year. If your application matches the criteria for a given feedback opportunity, you may be invited to participate.
For example, previous applicants who were not selected for the PAC still participated in surveys and interviews for program benefits, as well as product research for the Solutions Directory. Additionally, all partners, regardless of whether or not they apply to the PAC, are invited to take Partner Pulse – our biannual survey to collect program and HubSpot software feedback.
Finally, we encourage you to apply for next year’s PAC if you're not selected this year.
