The National Investment Banking Association has selected 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 collaboration seeks to broaden the visibility of companies presenting at NIBA's long-running capital markets forum by merging the 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, having hosted more than 150 investment conferences that facilitated over $100 billion in capital raises. The organization's network includes thousands of investment professionals across more than 60 industry services and over 8,800 registered representatives. The upcoming conference aims to connect public and private issuers with capital markets professionals through formal presentations, structured one-on-one meetings, networking events, and industry panel discussions.
Emily Foshee, Executive Director of NIBA, emphasized the conference's role: "Our conferences are designed to 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. We welcome B2i Digital's support in broadening the reach of our March conference."
As marketing partner, B2i Digital will implement its Featured Conference program, including targeted email campaigns and distribution to a proprietary network of over 1.4 million market participants. David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, explained the company's approach: "At B2i Digital, we 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 our reach and connectivity across the capital markets, we help presenting companies extend their visibility and turn conference participation into lasting investor relationships."
Presenting companies will gain extended visibility before, during, and after the conference through B2i Digital's investor-facing distribution channels.
