INBOUND 2020 has been a phenomenal virtual conference experience. While it's quite different from past years, HubSpot has done a great job with the technology, interaction, and virtual networking opportunities for attendees.
Every year, there are many new and exciting product announcements at INBOUND, and this year is no exception. The following are the product updates that are most exciting for our team and our clients.
