*** NOT A RUMOR***
Confirmed from my nintendo REP at bestbuy, Nintendo is paying to fly all of their reps to Roslyn washington for a training 1st week of Jan. According to my rep who has being doing it for 30 years, they have never done this on this magnitude. This is a pretty big deal, because even for a billion dollar company, that is alot of money to pay to train & coach people from all over the country to one central location.
Also interesting because it potentially reaffirms a March NX release. The only question is, will this traning be before or after an offical announcement of the NX. I would be lead to believe it would be after, to avoid any of the reps or event holders leaking out information.

Nintendo has never had a national sales / training meeting before? That is odd to me.

Probably not...
Generally when doing something like this, you'd have a national meeting for the higher ups, who would then pass the information to those lower on the chain. Having all of their reps go to one location is logistically challenging and really expensive.
What this may indicate (if true) is that Nintendo has another product that may be difficult to explain (like the Wii U) and they are working harder on ensuring the message is clear.
