Back for year two, Inspire 2024 is Walmart Data Ventures’ exclusive, one-day event that brings together Walmart Luminate Charter suppliers, Walmart Merchants, Walmart Data Ventures leadership and product experts, and other Walmart collaborators and colleagues.
Following this year’s theme of Granular Data, Greater Insights, our event will focus on leveraging Walmart Data Ventures’ rich, first-party data and insights to bring your brand to life on the physical and digital shelf. Learn about new product features, hear supplier and Merchant case studies directly from the source, sit in on Walmart Data Ventures vision presentations, and more.
With limited seating available, Inspire is an invite-only event.
