Walmart’s 10th Annual Open Call

This year, for the tenth anniversary of Open Call, we’re preparing in a big way, and we’re excited to announce the new dates will land right in the heart of Manufacturing Month – Oct. 24 and 25. We’re sure you won’t want to miss Open Call this year!

Learn more about Open Call.

How does this new date affect timing?

Historically, we’ve held Open Call in the early-mid summer months, and registration traditionally kicked off in spring. This year, we’re going to open registration later in the summer and are preparing a robust program for our participants to learn what Walmart is all about and how we might be able to work together to reach customers and meet their needs.

Important dates for you:

July: Registration opens
August: Registration closes and applicants to be selected
September/October: Webinars and development programs kickoff
Oct. 24-25: Open Call – event day programming and product pitch meetings

Here are some examples of suppliers who previously earned business through Open Call:

• Redhead Wine (2019)
• Skinny Latina (2020)
• Le’Host Hair & Wig (2021)
• Chef Flavas (2022)
• Grind Goods (2022)
