Here\u2019s how Walmart is kicking off the merriest of seasons:<\/p>\n<h3>Festive General Sessions<\/h3>\n<p>Two general sessions, along with breakouts, were complete with games, product unveilings, and even marketing reveals (like the Walmart commercial that will debut during the 2020 Summer Olympics) to keep all 6,000 managers informed and excited for what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<h3>Multi-Functional Stage Sets<\/h3>\n<p>With merchandise in mind, the unique stage set is designed to showcase all of Walmart\u2019s latest and greatest products. Blending the tactical and the magical, the entire event space was transformed with merchandise, branding, signage, and d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<h3>Critical Content<\/h3>\n<p>A meeting is only as successful as its messaging \u2013 and the content and graphics incorporated at the annual Holiday Meeting are fresh, innovative, and engaging year after year.
