State of the Business Event

CRC’s annual Walmart Forum returns to Northwest Arkansas on Thursday, October 23, 2025 – and this year, we’re excited to host you in a brand-new venue.

Join us at the Heartland Whole Health Institute, a stunning new space on the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art campus. Still rooted in Bentonville, this year’s fresh setting brings a new energy to one of our favorite events of the year.

As always, you can expect:

🛒 A deep dive into the current state of Walmart’s business
📈 Insights into sales, marketing, supply chain, digital initiatives, and more
🔍 CRC’s latest forecasts and proprietary data
🤝 Opportunities to connect and network with hundreds of suppliers, vendors, and industry peers

More details coming soon, including our final agenda and welcome reception plans.

In the meantime, save the date and get ready for a new spin on a Bentonville tradition.
