AGENDA OVERVIEW

Explore the full INBOUND programming schedule and build your own personal agenda to help keep track of the sessions you want to attend. Tap the “search” icon at the top of your screen to bring up the global search bar. From there, enter in any keyword!
To refine your search, select the “filter” icon (next to the “search” icon) and apply tags to narrow your results by time, session type, content focus, and location.
For more details on searching and filtering sessions, click here.

CURATE YOUR AGENDA

Choose your own INBOUND adventure and fully curate your agenda within the app with a quick tap: click the heart icon in the bottom right corner when viewing all sessions (the heart icon is located in the top right corner of individual session cards), and boom, it’s been added to your personal agenda. A few notes:

Every session has a heart icon.
You can “favorite” multiple sessions using the heart icon, even if they are happening simultaneously.
Go to the My Favorites tab at the top of the screen to view your fully curated schedule.
Favoriting a session does not save a seat.

Pro tip: you can also favorite sessions on desktop! More details on favoriting sessions can be found here.

SAVE A SEAT

Education Sessions, Deep Dives, HubSpot Labs, and select Meetups require you to save a seat! These sessions will be marked with a “Limited” tag and a Save a seat button on the session card will appear when reservations open for your ticket type (August 20 for VIP tickets and August 27 for General Admission). Click that button to officially book your spot. New this year: you can Save a seat on both desktop and in the mobile app!

Download the app. (Apple / Google Play)
Search for the Deep Dives, Education Sessions, HubSpot Labs, and Meetups you’d like to attend.
Find the Save a seat button on the session card.
Tap the Save a seat button to officially book your spot.
Go to the Registered tab to view all the sessions you’ve saved a seat to attend.

Helpful tips:

Saving a seat will automatically add that session to your My Favorites tab.
You can’t save a seat for two sessions happening at the same time.
The Save a seat button will only appear after reservations open for your ticket type.

More details on saving a seat can be found here.

Please Note: Saving a seat will automatically add the session to your My Favorites tab. However, favoriting a session that requires registration will NOT save your seat. If you have saved a seat, you MUST arrive 5+ minutes prior to the session scheduled start time. At the 5 minute mark, we will release all remaining seats to the standby line.

Did a session fill up before you were able to grab a spot? We welcome you to join the standby line onsite. Any remaining seats will open up 5 minutes before the session starts. More details can be found here.

EXPORTING SESSIONS TO YOUR CALENDAR

If you’re looking to sync up your INBOUND sessions with your work or personal calendars, you can easily export single sessions by clicking on a session card from the Agenda page and tapping the Add (“calendar” icon) button.

You can also export sessions to your calendar directly from desktop!

RATING A SESSION

Don’t forget to leave a rating! Click on the session card on the Agenda page, and tap the Rate (“star” icon) towards the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
