Why? Because INBOUND 2019 is here! 

Thousands of marketers are gathering in Boston this week for three days of sessions, workshops, keynotes, and vendors. Basically, it’s an entire year's worth of marketing education packed into a few impactful days.

On today's episode, two of our team members —  Senior Developer, Mark Ryba, and Team Leader, Richie Knight — are highlighting two more sessions we’re really excited to attend. They’re diving into the details of the session, the key takeaways, and why they’re recommending that you attend, as well.

But we’re here to help. That’s why we started our Countdown to INBOUND series a few weeks ago. We’re giving you the inside scoop on all things INBOUND to help you decide which sessions to attend. 

So, with that in mind, two more team members — Benji Bateman, Marketing Consultant and Amber Kemmis, VP of Client Services — came on this week’s episode of SmartBug on Tap to share two more sessions you don't want to miss.
