These days, marketing is no longer just about selling products or services; it’s about building connections, fostering relationships, and creating shared experiences. This industry shift towards community-driven marketing aligns perfectly with the spirit of INBOUND, a conference that not only educates and inspires but also brings like-minded individuals together to form lasting connections.
Community is a major theme of the conference and there are several communities that will be front and center at INBOUND. Which ones will be there? What are they all about? Which one(s) should you connect with?
We’ll answer these questions and more!
Discover Your Community at INBOUND
This year, INBOUND features eleven different vibrant communities for attendees to explore. All of these communities have something that sets them apart from the rest – just like you! So, to help you find your ideal community at the conference, here’s a quick overview of them all. In no particular order:
Women Sales Pros
Calling all women in B2B sales and sales leadership roles (and men eager to help)! Empower and be empowered as you engage with a community dedicated to empowering women in B2B sales and leadership positions. The Women Sales Pros actively supports getting more women into B2B sales through their “She Sells News” newsletter, WSP blog, and the WSP Experts group.
