The Greatest Tweets about INBOUND 13
1. Who doesn't love Boston? Many consider it the best city.
Well, even if you think that there's a better city out there than Boston, you cannot deny that Boston is the hub of inbound marketing.
If you're still not convinced it could be because ... it's not their first rodeo, world class agencies will be in attendance, there is a ton of marketing graduates, and who could forget about INBOUND.
My favorite line from the article has to be, "The Boston Tea Party is a guerrilla stunt that marketers are still trying to top, Paul Revere practically wrote the book on word-of-mouth marketing, and Sam Adams has built a beverage empire from beyond the grave."

2. There have been several instances where marketers have compared inbound marketing to craft beer. It's all about being remarkable.
In the spirit of Boston, and for you lovers of craft beer, there is nothing better than hitting up the local breweries in Boston. While you're attending INBOUND feel free to make some room for BEERBOUND.

3. So what do you think Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah are going to announce this year?
The team a Blink Jar Media seems to think that they're going to announce that the company purchased the Boston Red Sox.
Will Hub Sox will be successful? I'm too sure what all Bostonians will think.
I have to agree with Jared Broussard, ordering your hot dog through a mobile app would be so much easier. You won't miss a single second of the game.
Ha! #INBOUND13 predictions: @bhalligan & @dharmesh to be the new owners of the Red Sox! https://t.co/YEpCy9omw7 … #HubSox via @BlinkJarMedia — Tim Thyne (@TimJThyne) August 7, 2013
4. Instead of Christmas in July, it's more like Christmas in August for inbound marketers.
Mike you bring up a great point about the nightly inbound marketing movies. It could be the 25 days of Inbound. I think you might be on to something.
Can't wait for #INBOUND13 Feel like its almost Christmas. I wish ABCfamily would show movies about inbound marketing every night. — Mike Lemire (@biggestmike) August 8, 2013
5. Everyone and anyone wants to attend INBOUND, and with all those great speakers why wouldn't you?
For those of you strained for money, there were a ton of great promotions and offers readily available to you.
Have you checked out Wild Boy lately? If not you should. They were giving away a ticket to inbound and you won't believe how.
All you had to do was tweet them a selfie. I'm not sure if the duck face is over rated. Just let your creative juices flow.
Tweet a #selfie for a chance to go to #inbound13! The crazier, the better. #wildboyfreebie https://t.co/jHgULQSFXk — Wild Boy (@wildboydesign) August 7, 2013
6. What? No way? How did I not know?
If you haven't already registered for INBOUND13 you will be missing out.
I love this tweet from Joe Chernov. Who wouldn't want to spend a good part of four days networking and interacting with some 5,000+ individuals who all share a passion for inbound marketing? This is a yearly event I wouldn't miss.
Unsure if anyone has heard, but there *might* be a marketing conference coming to Boston in two weeks. #INBOUND13 — Joe Chernov (@jchernov) August 7, 2013
7. I don't know about the rest of you but I dislike awkward wandering, uninspiring speeches, adding another keychain to my collection (that I never use), and not being able to obtain my daily coffee fix and FREE Wi-Fi.
Well my fellow INBOUND attendees that won't be a problem.
If you weren't excited before you should be now. I know all of the IMPACT marketing rockstars are excited to be heading up to Boston.
@HubSpot I was excited before, now i'm ecstatic; Can't wait for #INBOUND13 w the @Impactbnd #marketing rockstars! pic.twitter.com/IZjYFgh30L — Ramona (@fromramonawlove) August 7, 2013
8. I have asked this question to almost every girl in the office, what should we wear?
You don't want to be that one person wearing jeans and your favorite tee while everyone else is sporting their best suit or even their prom dress. Ok, that might only be applicable to us, but yes that did come up in a conversation.
According to Lynelle Schmidt you should definitely dress to accomidate the uncertain weather of New England, wear a blazer, don't forget to include those fashionable accessories, bring your best concert gear to wear during OneRepublic, remember to wear dress socks (no mismatching or white athletic socks), and sport your HubSpot gear.
Now that you know what to wear stay away from wearing dress socks with a sandals (that is a no, no matter where you go), Leave the Hawaiian shirt for Hawaii, and don't even think about wearing New York Yankees apparel.
After reading that article, I definitely feel better about what I'm going to pack.

10. Can you come up with the best Jay Z quote relevant to marketing?
If so, you could have been the lucky person to win a ticket to INBOUND.
Not to long ago, Mike Volpe was giving away a free ticket to the person who tweeted the best Jay-z quote.
That's an interesting and different way to get your fans and audience to engage and interact. You can also which ones are die hard Jay Z fans.
A number tweets contained the line, "I've got 99 problems, but inbound ain't one."

12. I had to include this one.
Just think about it. I'm going to refer Christmas again, but it's a yearly event where you get to catch up with other inbound marketing professionals.
How many hugs do you think you're going to get?
"I get more hugs during the 3 days of INBOUND than I get all year." - @mvolpe #INBOUND13 https://t.co/KyPfM44inf — Robyn Lightner (@rjlightner) July 22, 2013
13. Don't be left wondering, what am I to wear.
Inbound marketers love tee shirts. Don't be afraid to rock yours. If you don't have any swag, consider wearing one of HubSpot's shirts.
You cannot go wrong with a shirt that says:
- My content brings all the leads to the yard
- It's not you. It's your tiny URL.
- I opened your email. On purpose.
- I like to be on top of Google.

14. In a sea of tweets, a video is a great way to stand out.
Don't be a afraid to showcase your personality in your tweet and within the video you've included. It's a great way to promote your personal discount code to your fans.
It's different from the traditional post.

15. This guide will definitely come in handy, especially since one-third and one-half of the people in the world are introverts.
As a fellow introvert, I loved that Dharmesh took the time to tell us introverts how we can get the most from attending a conference.
If you're an introvert, be sure to check out this article before heading to inbound.

16.Who doesn't love a catchy rap song? It's a great way to kickstart your morning.
I think that everyone over at Wild Boy would agree. Not only will a good rap sound get you in the mood to get your work done, but it's also a great way to talk about INBOUND.
Don't just take my word for. Wild Boy really wanted to hear a rap about the conference.
When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself: I really need to hear a rap song about #Inbound13. And it happened. https://t.co/6fYBZWB2Aq — Wild Boy (@wildboydesign) June 26, 2013
Hope to see you at INBOUND. I know everyone here is counting down the days.
