Commerce Leadership Advocacy

July 25, 2023 WALMART Walmart is strengthening its commitment to American jobs and communities with its investment of an additional $350 billion in products made, grown or assembled in America, supporting creation of over 750,000 U.S. jobs. To support this commitment and our America at Work initiative, Walmart hosts an annual Open Call event for innovative, shelf ready products. What is Open Call? Walmart’s Open Call is an exciting and unique opportunity for selected American entrepreneurs to meet face-to-face with Walmart and/or Sam’s Club merchants and potentially get their product in the hands of millions of our customers. This event provides information to potential suppliers, offers great networking opportunities and gives businesses of all sizes from across the nation a chance at the big break for which they have been looking with Walmart. The application period runs until August 18, 2023, with Open Call scheduled to take place on October 24-25, 2023.
