We’re all busy.  We are overscheduled, overwhelmed, overworked and overstimulated.   Why do we want to add yet another item to our already extensive to-do lists?

**1****. HUGS lower blood pressure. ** While that stat may be a little skewed (it was referring to an ACTUAL hug as opposed to a HubSpot User Group), attending a HUG can help you learn more about the platform.  That makes you more comfortable using it.  Comfort must lower your blood pressure.  Right?

**2. Education.**  You’ve heard the politicians.  Education is a hot button issue these days.  You might as well learn something.

**3. Connection.**  Sometimes it helps to meet others who are encountering the same challenges you are.

**4. ****Camaraderie****. ** It also helps to talk with people who speak the same language as you.  “My lead conversions are a) through the roof! b) going slow c) non-existent…help!”

**5. ****Food and drink.**  Just sayin’.

**6. ****It’s almost review time. ** So, instead of telling your boss, “Hey, I hung out with the guys/girls last night and watched football/TheVoice/fish swim,” you can NOW say, “Last evening, I attended a fabulous HubSpot User Group and learned all about the new CRM solution HubSpot is implementing. “  Sounds more impressive, doesn’t it?  Cha-ching.

**7. ****You might meet someone famous. ** Or you could meet a bunch of people who may or may not be famous.

**8. ****Otherwise, you’ll just sit on the couch and eat chips. ** OK, maybe that’s just me.
