Southbound 2026 Sessions

HubSpot CEO Yamini Rangan talks about a problem a lot of us have right now: we’re using AI every day, but it hasn't actually grown our revenue yet.

If you want a better way of how to get your team past the fear of new tech so they can start running experiments that actually pay off, this is the session for you!

Varun Anand and Sangram Vajre dive into why the traditional way of climbing the career ladder is over, and share some pretty wild stories, like using AI to scan the color of trash dumpsters to find new leads.

If you want to see how to move past boring playbooks and get your team to start building their own experiments that actually grow the business, you’ll want to check this out!

News flash: People trust total strangers on LinkedIn more than they trust big, famous company logos.

If you like hearing stories, like how an email sent from a real person's name consistently got more opens and clicks than one sent from a multi-billion dollar brand, then this session with Jen Allen-Knuth, Devin Reed, and Rachel Elsts Downey is for you.

You’ll learn how to help your team stop acting like corporate billboards and start sharing the kind of human stories and tips that people actually want to read! 

Most companies move too slow because they only look at their numbers once a month.

Learn about Brian Kreutz's "three-second rule" for checking your company’s health and see how the Revenue Performance Model gets sales, marketing, and customer service finally speaking the same language.

If you're tired of messy spreadsheets and want a clear way to see exactly where you're losing money, this is the talk to watch!

Overthinking is the biggest hidden expense for most companies and the #1 thing stopping your team from hitting their goals.

In this session, Jon Acuff explains that starting is easy, but finishing is hard, mostly because we listen to broken soundtracks (repetitive negative thoughts).

If you want to learn how to turn overthinking into a superpower and get your team to actually embrace the changes coming your way, this is the session you can't afford to miss!

Most companies accidentally strangle their own growth by scaling too early or too fast.

See how Mark Roberge replaces the gut feeling of product-market fit with a data-backed system, and shows you exactly how to measure the value you're creating for customers before you start pouring money into hiring.

You’ll walk away with a practical framework that lets you lead your team with data instead of drama!
