If you've been following our blog this past week, you've learned that we attended the Inbound 2012 conference in Boston with 2,800 other fellow Inbound Marketers from around the globe. Sorry if we can't contain our excitement! Being the largest gathering of Inbound Marketers in the world, HubSpot did a stellar job bringing in some of the brighest minds in the industry to share their thought leadership.
Looking back at our index of tweets during our time, which nicely catalogued our experience during the number of keynotes and breakout sessions, we hand-picked the top 13 quotes that we feel need to be shared with our readers.
But first, let's set the mood. To put these quotes into context, we've included a video of the Inbound 2012 kick off and introduction from HubSpot co-founders, Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah.
It's worth watching! Enjoy!
