The National Investment Banking Association has named B2i Digital, Inc. as marketing partner for its 152nd Investment Conference, scheduled for March 11-12, 2026, at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in Florida. This partnership aims to expand investor reach for companies presenting at NIBA's long-running capital markets forum by combining NIBA's in-person program with B2i Digital's investor distribution network. NIBA has served as a hub for the micro-cap and small-cap investment community since 1982, hosting more than 150 investment conferences that have helped raise over $100 billion in capital. The organization's network includes thousands of investment professionals across more than 60 key industry services and over 8,800 registered representatives.
The upcoming conference is designed to connect public and private issuers with experienced capital markets professionals through formal presentations, structured one-on-one meetings, networking events, and industry panel discussions. Emily Foshee, Executive Director of NIBA, stated that their conferences give growth companies direct access to capital markets professionals, family offices, fund managers, and strategic advisors. For more than four decades, NIBA has created a focused environment where issuers and investors can build relationships and pursue new opportunities. The organization welcomes B2i Digital's support in broadening the reach of their March conference.
As marketing partner, B2i Digital will support the conference through its Featured Conference program, including targeted email campaigns and distribution to a proprietary network of more than 1.4 million market participants. David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, explained that at B2i Digital, they act as the Capital Markets Matchmaker, connecting companies with investors through digital marketing, conferences, and direct introductions. By combining NIBA's highly-valued in-person program with their reach and connectivity across the capital markets, they help presenting companies extend their visibility and turn conference participation into lasting investor relationships.
Presenting companies will benefit from extended visibility before, during, and after the conference through B2i Digital's investor-facing distribution channels.
