Great to have so many #TeamSPS folks here at #Minnebar19! Know more to be more! 💙
Mindspace Skyliner. 📍
Great view of business district from our #TeamSPS location in Warsaw, Poland! 🇵🇱
This morning we had a great kick-off to our annual #TeamSPS TechConnect 2025 event! Team members from four continents powering the connections that move the world of commerce forward. Bonus points for special zoom background that creates connections between everyone! 🪄
Fun #TeamSPS hockey game — Minnesota Wild v Colorado Avalanche! 🏒
More than 60 years of SPS tenure between the four of us!
This year’s #TeamSPS Cyberweek Challenge coin was designed as a weightlifting plate. I thought it would be awesome to put it on a barbell and Steve came up with a great way to do it. Six plates is a 600k parcel lift! Swol! 💪
Excited for TeamSPS SKO 2025!
Wrapping up Growth Summit #TeamSPS did a Give Back event where we assembled 1,000 SolarBuddy lights. Impact 4 Good led the team through the exercise. The lights were pretty simple to assemble yet cool to see how they functioned.
Incredible morning building connections at SPS Growth Summit! Incredible keynote from Riaz Meghji! So much great energy and talent as we continue to grow the world’s retail network.#TeamSPS
Minnebar 18
Today was one of the biggest days of the year for the technology community of the Twin Cities — Minnebar 18! Once again Best Buy Headquarters was a gracious host sponsor and Minnestar welcome over 1,000 passionate technolgies to partake in at least 80 sessions led by members of the community. Tyler and I had a great time and attended many sessions.
The main room as the day gets kicked off.
Minnebar 18 t-shirts ready! They look amazing!
Ran into Colin Hirdman who had this incredible display integrated with his shirt.
One of our sessions learning about LLM techniques.
