How to Pack for INBOUND 2025 According to Your Zodiac Sign

Whether you believe in Mercury retrograde or just love a good personality quiz, we've got your cosmic conference prep covered. INBOUND 2025 is heading to San Francisco for the first time, and packing for three days of inspiration, networking, and breakthrough sessions requires some stellar planning.

From early mornings at Moscone Center to those post-session networking adventures, your zodiac sign might just hold the key to your perfect INBOUND experience.

♈ ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You're the attendee who's already mapped out the fastest route between all stages and probably has strong opinions about which sessions are must-sees. While others are still figuring out their schedule, you're first in line for every Main Stage session, treating networking like a competitive sport (and winning). You've likely already connected with half the speaker lineup on LinkedIn and aren't shy about introducing yourself to anyone who looks interesting.

Pack this:

Statement blazer or sharp jacket for powerful first impressions
Comfortable shoes because we know you'll literally be speed-walking between stages and sessions
Portable phone charger to keep your devices juiced up between all that LinkedIn connecting
Foldable rain jacket for those surprise SF rain showers to keep you dry without slowing you down
Protein bars and hydration tablets to stay fueled throughout the day

Pro Tip: Network hard, but remember to pace yourself; even fire signs need to recharge.

♉ TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You're not here to collect every business card or attend every session; you're here for quality. Your approach to INBOUND is thoughtful and deliberate: fewer connections but deeper relationships, carefully selected sessions that align with your actual goals, and a genuine appreciation for the craft behind great presentations. You probably spent time researching speakers beforehand and have a short list of people you actually want to meet. While others are running around frantically, you're savoring the experience, taking real notes (probably by hand), and planning to implement what you learn instead of just being inspired by it.

Pack this:

High-quality basics that'll work for multiple occasions and pieces that make you feel confident and look professional without trying too hard.
Comfortable, well-made shoes because your feet deserve better than exhibit hall floor fatigue.
Your favorite notebook for taking notes the analog way, because there's something about pen and paper that helps you process information better.
Good headphones for those airplane rides and podcast catch-ups during downtime.
A facemask for the hotel and an essential oil roller, because you value the creature comforts that make a hectic event feel like a personal retreat.

Pro Tip: Reserve your Deep Dive Sessions early. 90 minutes of in-depth learning is exactly your pace, and you'll appreciate the chance to really dig into topics that matter to your work.

♊ Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Your INBOUND Vibe: If INBOUND were a social experiment, you'd be the most interesting data point. You're somehow attending multiple sessions simultaneously (we're still trying to figure out how) and making friends in every line. Your conference experience is delightfully chaotic in the best way. You start the day with one plan and end up somewhere completely different, having learned three new things and met five fascinating people. You're the person who knows which food trucks are parked outside and somehow has inside information about all the evening entertainment options.

Pack this:

Versatile pieces that can interchange because you need options for your many moods and the inevitable outfit changes that come with your packed social schedule.
Multiple notebooks for tracking different conversations, session notes, and random brilliant ideas that strike in the moment.
Colorful pens for coding different types of information in your various notebooks.
Multi-port charging hub so you can help charge everyone’s phone while still networking.
Variety pack of snacks because your eating schedule is as unpredictable as your conference schedule.

Pro Tip: Braindates are literally designed for your networking style: curated conversations on your terms with people who want to talk about the same things you do.

♋ CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You're the heart of every group you join at INBOUND. While others are focused on their own agendas, you're making sure everyone in your orbit has what they need, remembering personal details about new connections, and somehow becoming the unofficial social coordinator for your conference crew. Your superpower is creating genuine warmth in what can sometimes feel like a transactional networking environment. By day two you have recommendations for everything from the best quiet spots in Moscone Center to local restaurants that accommodate dietary restrictions.

Pack this:

Comfortable, cozy layers because conference centers are notoriously cold.
Snacks for everyone including granola bars, mints, and other emergency supplies because you're the one people turn to when they're hangry at 3 PM.
Tissues, band-aids, phone chargers, and other "just in case" items that transform your bag into a mobile support system for anyone who needs it.
Foldable tote, great for gathering goodies and helping a new friend juggle their swag.
Noise-cancelling headphones with a soothing playlist or meditation download, because you recharge best in quiet moments.

Pro Tip: Meetups are perfect for your community-building energy. You'll probably end up organizing the group dinner afterward and making sure everyone feels included.

♌ LEO (July 23 - August 22)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You're the one asking thoughtful questions during Q&As and your networking style is less "collecting contacts" and more "making genuine connections that last beyond September." People remember meeting you, not because you're loud, but because you're memorable in all the right ways. You probably already have a mental mood board for your conference outfits and a strategy for which sessions will give you the best stories to share back at the office.

Pack this:

Outfits that photograph well and give front-row energy because those INBOUND moments are absolutely going on the 'gram.
Foldable ring light for flawless lighting for spontaneous selfies or content capture at the Creators Studio.
Backup phone battery, because you will be on your phone for most of the day.
Reusable tote that makes even free swag look elevated and Insta-ready.
A statement accessory that gives an instant outfit elevation for those spontaneous photo opps.

Pro Tip: The Innovation Arena's in-the-round setup is literally designed for your main character energy. You'll love the intimate, spotlight feel of those sessions.

♍ VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

Your INBOUND Vibe: Your conference experience is a masterpiece of organization that somehow still leaves room for spontaneity. You've got a color-coded calendar, backup plans for your backup plans, and you've already researched the best lunch spots within walking distance of Moscone Center. Despite all that planning, you're genuinely open to unexpected opportunities. You're the person who notices which sessions are delivering value and your recommendations are gold because you've done the homework.

Pack this:

A well-organized packing cube system because chaos is not an option, and you've mastered the art of fitting three days of outfits into a carry-on.
Multiple phone chargers, strategically distributed: one for the room, one for your bag, one for emergencies.
Conference schedule printed AND digital plus backup screenshots, just in case technology fails at the worst possible moment.
Comfortable shoes, supportive sneakers, and one dressier option for the practical-with-a-touch-of-polish vibe that's become your signature.
Travel-sized everything organized in clear containers, because you've turned packing into an art form.
“It’s My Birthday” pin because INBOUND takes place during Virgo birthdays.

Pro Tip: You've already researched which limited-capacity sessions align with your specific goals and skill gaps. Reserve accordingly, and don't forget to block time for processing what you learn.

♎ LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You're the attendee who makes everything look effortless while secretly coordinating every detail to perfection. Your conference experience is beautifully curated: what you learn, how you present yourself, who you meet, and even how you document the experience. You have an eye for the sessions that'll have the most engaging discussions and the speakers who really know how to connect with their audience. Your networking style is graceful and collaborative; you're interested in creating win-win connections rather than just advancing your own agenda. People are drawn to your positive energy and inclusive approach.

Pack this:

A coordinated capsule wardrobe that photographs well because your Instagram stories are going to be absolutely gorgeous (it's called brand building).
Comfortable shoes in multiple styles for achieving that perfect balance in all things.
Travel-size grooming or skincare kit with eye drops, sanitizer, face wipes to keep your glow going.
Statement pen or stylish tech accessories because even note-taking should be an aesthetic experience.
Multi-functional bag that looks sharp and works hard.

Pro Tip: The Impact Theater focuses on people-first strategies and collaborative approaches which is exactly the kind of content that aligns with your values and networking style.

♏ SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)

Your INBOUND Vibe: Your approach to INBOUND is intentional and focused. Rather than trying to do everything, you're strategic about attending smaller, more intimate sessions where you can dig deeper into topics that actually matter to your work. You prefer meaningful one-on-one conversations to large networking events. Your professional relationships tend to be fewer but incredibly strong and you probably already have a short list of specific people you want to meet and specific outcomes you want to achieve.

Pack this:

All black or dark neutrals because it's classic, professional, and gives you that mysteriously chic vibe that's become your signature.
A quality leather jacket or structured coat for SF evenings and general sophistication; it works for both conference networking and exploring the city's cooler neighborhoods.
Comfortable boots or sleek sneakers that are both practical for walking and project quiet confidence.
Dark cardigan, pullover, or blazer for layering that stays true to your color palette.
Blue-light glasses and compression socks to power through long days.

Pro Tip: Save seats in the smaller Deep Dive Sessions where intimate learning environments and focused discussions align perfectly with how you process information and build professional relationships.

♐ SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)

Your INBOUND Vibe: If there's anyone who's going to experience every single thing INBOUND has to offer, it's you. You're attending sessions across all of the stages, probably making international connections that'll lead to opportunities you can't even imagine yet, and treating the conference like your personal adventure playground. You're the type who discovers the best coffee and finds the secret networking spots. Your conference experience is about the scheduled programming and everything that happens in between.

Pack this:

Comfortable walking shoes because you'll be exploring every corner of Moscone Center and beyond.
A good backpack with room for all the swag, business cards, and random treasures you'll collect.
Layers for every occasion from morning Main Stage sessions to evening outings where you'll inevitably end up at some local gem.
Collapsible water bottle for staying hydrated during your conference marathon.
A lightweight rain jacket, just in case, though knowing you, you'd probably embrace getting caught in unexpected SF drizzle as part of the adventure.

Pro Tip: Don't miss the Tech Stack Showcase; it's like getting a startup tour without leaving the conference, and you'll love discovering tools and integrations you didn't know existed.

♑ CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You approach INBOUND like the strategic investment it is. Every session you attend, every person you meet, every conversation you have is purposeful and aligned with bigger business goals. You're not here to be inspired (though you will be), you're here to gather intelligence, build strategic relationships, and identify opportunities that'll impact your bottom line. Your networking style is professional but warm, and people remember you because you ask smart questions and actually listen to the answers. You probably have specific metrics for what makes this conference successful, and you'll definitely hit them.

Pack this:

Polished business attire you can mix and match plus a signature accessory that adds personality.
Power bank because your phone is your mobile office and can't afford to die during crucial conversations.
Breath mints for when you’re in close range during networking, and details matter.
Digital stylus + tablet for seamless note-taking and brainstorms in any setting.
Foldable laptop stand to make impromptu work sessions more ergonomic.

Pro Tip: Focus on the HubSpot Heroes Stage and Product Spotlight Demo Stage for product roadmap insights that'll help you plan your 2026 strategy.

♒ AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)

Your INBOUND Vibe: While others are focused on immediate applications, you're thinking three steps ahead about implications, possibilities, and "what if" scenarios that haven't occurred to anyone else yet. Your conference conversations tend to go in unexpected directions, and you have a gift for connecting dots between seemingly unrelated ideas. You're here to find your people and your best connections happen organically, usually over shared fascination with something everyone else thinks is weird.

Pack this:

Tech accessories that actually serve a purpose—portable chargers, good noise-canceling headphones, a tablet for note-taking and sketching out ideas on the fly.
Unique conversation starters like an interesting pin, vintage band merch, unusual socks, or distinctive glasses that reflect your personality and give people an easy way to approach you.
Comfortable, practical clothing that lets you focus on ideas rather than adjusting your outfit
High-quality bluetooth earbuds for private listening during breaks or travel time.
Unusual business cards or alternative contact sharing method that starts conversations about innovation.

Pro Tip: The Innovation Arena is literally designed for future-forward thinking and unconventional perspectives. It's your natural habitat; don't miss those sessions.

♓ PISCES (February 19 - March 20)

Your INBOUND Vibe: You approach INBOUND with an open mind. You're less focused on rigid networking goals and more interested in following your intuition about which sessions feel right and which conversations could lead somewhere magical. Your conference experience is beautifully organic: you might start the day planning to attend a technical session and end up in a storytelling workshop because something about it called to you. You have a gift for seeing the bigger picture and making connections between ideas that seem unrelated to everyone else.

Pack this:

Comfortable fabrics that help you feel relaxed and confident—when you're comfortable in your clothes, your mind is free to wander and wonder.
Walking shoes or soft sneakers that let you float between sessions without thinking about your feet.
Artistic accessories like interesting jewelry, colorful scarf, unique bag, or glasses that reflect your creative spirit and give people a glimpse into your personality.
Cozy socks and a sleep mask for hotel downtime.
Colored pens or markers for creating inspiring notes that reflect your artistic nature.

Pro Tip: Don't overbook yourself, leave space for spontaneous inspiration and those magical conference moments that can't be planned. Stop by the Tech Stack Showcase for drop-in sessions that are perfect for your flexible schedule.

PACKING TIPS FOR ALL ZODIAC SIGNS

Whether you're a color-coded Virgo or a free-spirited Pisces, there are a few universal truths when it comes to prepping for INBOUND 2025, especially in San Francisco.

Here are packing musts that apply across the zodiac:

Layers are non-negotiable: SF weather is known to shift by the hour—foggy in the morning, sunny at lunch, breezy by dinner. Think base layer, long sleeves, and a lightweight jacket you can stash in your bag.
Bring real walking shoes: You'll be on your feet. A lot. The Moscone Center is large and SF’s hills are no joke.
Hydration is key: Pack a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.
Tech tools = peace of mind: A portable charger, multi-port USB hub, and reliable charging cables are essential.
Your bag matters: Choose a functional day bag or backpack that fits your laptop/tablet, water bottle, snacks, and swag, without destroying your shoulders (heads up: you’ll need to go through the Evolv security machines and bag check when entering Moscone Center).
On the go items: Hand sanitizer, face wipes, tissues, breath mints, and anything that keeps you fresh from 9 AM keynotes to evening events.
