B2i Digital, Inc. has been appointed as the marketing partner for the 152nd Investment Conference organized 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 merge NIBA's long-standing in-person conference program with B2i Digital's extensive investor distribution network, potentially broadening the audience for issuers presenting at the event.
The NIBA 152nd Investment Conference is structured as a one-and-a-half day institutional gathering designed to facilitate connections between public and private issuers and capital markets professionals, including investors, financing partners, market makers, and advisors. Presenting companies will deliver formal 10-minute presentations to an audience of investment professionals, followed by structured one-on-one meetings for deeper discussions on business strategy and capital requirements. The conference also features curated networking events and an industry panel discussion.
Emily Foshee, Executive Director of NIBA, stated that the conferences are intended to provide growth companies with direct access to capital markets professionals, family offices, fund managers, and strategic advisors. She noted that for over four decades, NIBA has fostered an environment where issuers and investors can build relationships and explore new opportunities, welcoming B2i Digital's support in expanding the reach of the March conference.
David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, described the firm's role as a Capital Markets Matchmaker, connecting companies with investors through digital marketing, conferences, and direct introductions. He emphasized that by integrating NIBA's valued in-person program with B2i Digital's connectivity across capital markets, the partnership helps presenting companies enhance their visibility and transform conference participation into enduring investor relationships.
As marketing partner, B2i Digital will support the conference through its Featured Conference program, which includes targeted email campaigns and distribution to a proprietary network of over 1.4 million market participants. This support offers presenting companies extended visibility before, during, and after the event through B2i Digital's investor-facing channels.
