The Walmart US Asset Protection team recently came together for its annual national meeting. Bringing all Market and Regional AP leaders from across the country and Puerto Rico helps the team connect, learn, and align around goals for the coming year.

Joe Schrauder, VP of Walmart Stores US AP, and Christyn Keef, Sr. Director of the Walmart Stores US AP Field team, welcomed the 550 attendees for the two day conference. The meeting theme this year was 'Today > Tomorrow' as they focus on exceptional execution of today's business while they learn about the technologies and strategies that will shape the AP team of tomorrow.

   

Keynote speakers included CEO of Walmart Stores US Greg Foran, EVP of Central Operations and Realty Mark Ibbotson, and futurist and author Ross Dawson.

     

The team also participated in workshops on topics including becoming an AP leader of the future, cash loss investigations, accident prevention, and frontend, salesfloor, and backroom processes.

The meeting closed out with a keynote from Schrauder and the annual awards show.
