B2i Digital Partners with NIBA to Expand Reach for 152nd Investment Conference

B2i Digital, Inc. has been named marketing partner for the 152nd Investment Conference hosted by the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA), scheduled for March 11-12, 2026, at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This partnership aims to expand investor reach for issuers presenting at NIBA's long-running capital markets forum by combining NIBA's in-person program with B2i Digital's investor distribution network. Since 1982, NIBA has served as a hub for the micro-cap and small-cap investment community, hosting more than 150 investment conferences showcasing public and private companies seeking access to the financial industry. NIBA's network has helped raise over $100 billion in capital, with members including thousands of investment professionals across more than 60 key industry services and over 8,800 registered representatives.

The NIBA 152nd Investment Conference is a one-and-a-half day institutional event designed to connect public and private issuers with experienced capital markets professionals, including investors, financing partners, market makers, and advisors. Presenting companies will deliver formal 10-minute presentations to a broad audience of investment professionals, followed by structured one-on-one meetings that allow for deeper, targeted discussions around business strategy and capital needs. The conference also includes curated networking events and an industry panel discussion. Emily Foshee, Executive Director of NIBA, stated that their 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.

David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, explained that his company acts 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 B2i Digital's reach and connectivity across the capital markets, they help presenting companies extend their visibility and turn conference participation into lasting investor relationships. As marketing partner, B2i Digital will support the NIBA 152nd Investment Conference through its Featured Conference program, including targeted email campaigns and distribution to a proprietary network of more than 1.4 million market participants. Presenting companies benefit from extended visibility before, during, and after the conference through B2i Digital's investor-facing distribution channels.

This partnership matters because it represents a strategic integration of traditional in-person capital markets networking with modern digital marketing capabilities. For companies seeking capital, particularly in the micro-cap and small-cap segments, this combination potentially increases their exposure to relevant investors beyond the physical conference attendees. The collaboration leverages NIBA's established reputation and track record of facilitating over $100 billion in capital raises with B2i Digital's extensive digital reach to potentially enhance deal-making opportunities.
