Singapore played host to an event that brought together HubSpot partners from across Southeast Asia and North Asia on June 23, 2023. HubSpot Partner Day, an exclusive gathering for regional partners, was held at the heart of Singapore, at HubSpot's local office on Anson Road.
The event kicked off at 1:00 pm and lasted until 5:30 pm, providing ample time for partners to engage, learn, and network. The venue buzzed with excitement as partners came together to exchange insights, explore opportunities, and hear about the latest updates from HubSpot.
Unveiling HubSpot's Vision and Strategy
One highlight of the day was the keynote speech by Dan Bognar, HubSpot’s VP & Managing Director of JAPAC. Dan shared HubSpot’s vision and strategy, shedding light on the company's direction and future plans. This keynote was more than just a presentation; it was a platform for open dialogue. Partners were encouraged to ask questions, share their thoughts, and actively participate in shaping the conversation. It was a powerful demonstration of HubSpot’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and collaborative ecosystem.
A Vibrant and Collaborative Atmosphere
Chloe Teo, a Channel Account Manager at HubSpot, took to LinkedIn to share her excitement and gratitude for the partners who attended the event. She expressed her appreciation for Southeast Asia and North Asia partners who went the extra mile to be there. Chloe highlighted the essence of HubSpot's partner ecosystem, emphasizing how partners not only learn and grow individually but also come together as a community to collaborate and support each other. This cooperative spirit aligns seamlessly with HubSpot’s mission to help clients #growbetter.
The event wasn't just about speeches and presentations; it was a dynamic mix of discussions, networking, and even a dash of fun. Chloe Teo shared insights into the engaging sessions that took place during Partner Day. The latest AI innovations, including #contentassistant and #chatspot, were on the agenda. However, it wasn't all about technology; the Partner Roundtable demonstrated the value of collective brainstorming. Partners joined forces to brainstorm ideas that will contribute to HubSpot’s ongoing scaling efforts. A standout moment was when a partner candidly shared their enduring love for HubSpot while providing actionable feedback—an embodiment of the transparent communication that HubSpot values.
The success of HubSpot Partner Day wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of key individuals. Romka Walkowiak, Delvin Chew, and Jasmine Toh graced the stage as speakers, sharing their expertise and insights. The partner team—Janice Tay, Cherylene Hammond, and Mun Shuen Wee—played a crucial role in orchestrating the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
