Year Beginning Meeting

Kicking It Off Year After Year

In the first quarter of each year, Walmart holds its Year Beginning Meeting (YBM) to share company strategies, PR news releases, and marketing messaging with 7,000+ of their managers. It’s one thing to say you promote the idea of winning together, and quite another to actually show it. In the end, Walmart managers, presenters, executives, and LEO Events collaborate to execute a successful show by:

  • Including custom-built stage sets every year to allow speakers to effectively engage the crowd through content and messaging
  • Highlighting new merchandise through stage set and design to visually speak to the year’s sales plan
  • Managing content and graphics, creating dynamic visuals to support executive messaging
  • Utilizing an arena-style setting with a grand video setup, giving all attendees a great vantage point

Holiday Meeting

The Time Is Near for Some Cheer

Every fall, Walmart holds their annual Holiday Meeting to gear up for the 4th quarter, covering everything from Back to School to New Year’s Eve. It’s that time of year when just around the corner are crazy crowds and incredible sales – a huge deal for retail, an even bigger deal for Walmart. And if they want the holidays to go off without a hitch, their managers have to be up to speed on all the details about the upcoming sales season. So this meeting focuses on showcasing new merchandise and the roll-out plan for sales. LEO Events works alongside Walmart Event Solutions to ensure a very merry meeting by:

  • Producing two general sessions for 7,000 invitees
  • Managing the critical messaging for this multi-day event, along with the important details, including presentation sight lines, product visibility, and content clarity
