At INBOUND 2025, AI and human creativity take the stage together

Presented by HubSpot

INBOUND, HubSpot’s flagship conference for marketing, sales, and customer service professionals, is headed to the west coast for the first time September 3-5, 2025. Over three days, attendees can expect bold insights, meaningful connections, and breakthrough content spanning marketing, sales, customer experience, and AI innovation — all designed to blend the familiar with the surprising, says Courtney Dagher, global events senior team manager, marketing & programming.

“At INBOUND, it’s all about tackling trending topics through unexpected pairings and delivering insights you won’t find anywhere else,” Dagher says.

This year that means INBOUND is putting AI pioneer Dario Amodei on the same stage as Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn, because innovation doesn’t live in silos, says Kat Tooley, VP, global events and experiential marketing.

“When you see a world-class chef talking customer experience alongside a tech visionary, that’s when the real breakthroughs happen,” Tooley explains. “For our business leaders who attend INBOUND, it’s proof that game-changing ideas come from connecting dots others miss.”
