Walmart Canada is inviting small and medium-sized Canadian businesses to its second Growth Summit on June 23, 2026, in Mississauga. The event gives sellers a chance to meet directly with merchants and Marketplace teams, pitch locally made products, and access tools to scale across stores and online channels.
Key Takeaways
-
Platform for Canadian-made growth: The summit offers selected sellers a Golden Ticket-style pitch opportunity for “Made in Canada” and “Product of Canada” items, with the potential to secure listings in stores, online, or both.
-
Proof of concept from year one: Nearly 60 companies earned Golden Tickets at the inaugural event, and many now have products on shelves and online, underscoring that participation can translate into real distribution and sales.
-
Education plus access: Attendees get strategy keynotes, deep dives on supplier and Marketplace tools, and structured networking, designed to help Canadian brands understand the retailer’s ecosystem and reach millions of shoppers more effectively.
