Investors seeking direct engagement with international companies will have a rare opportunity at The Global Markets Forum (Hybrid), hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences and presented by B2i Digital, Inc. on October 7 and 8, 2026. The event will showcase 19 companies from exchanges including NYSE, Nasdaq, TSX, ASX, LSE, and OTC Markets, spanning mining, biotechnology, digital health, technology, financial services, and energy. Day 1 is hybrid, with management teams presenting in person at the OTC Markets Group office in New York or remotely; Day 2 is fully virtual.
This forum matters because it democratizes access to corporate leadership. As David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, Inc., noted, “These teams are making the effort to talk to sophisticated retail investors, not just the institutions.” Registered investors can request one-on-one meetings with management, either in person or virtually, a level of access typically reserved for institutional investors. The event’s hybrid format also allows global participation without travel, broadening the investor base for presenting companies.
B2i Digital, as the Official Marketing Partner, is leveraging its media network of over 330 million monthly audience and 1.7 million investors to amplify the event. The presenting companies represent a diverse cross-section of sectors and geographies, from Kuya Silver Corp.’s Peruvian silver projects to MetaOptics Ltd.’s semiconductor optics in Singapore. Other notable presenters include MindMaze Therapeutics, a Swiss digital therapeutics company; First Phosphate Corp., building a North American lithium iron phosphate battery supply chain; and Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc., developing a graphite value chain in Québec. Each company will present live with audience Q&A, and replays will be available on B2i Digital and OTC Markets YouTube channels.
For investors, the forum offers a chance to assess management teams directly. Detailed event information and company profiles are available at https://b2idigital.com/otc-market-oct-7th-8th-global-markets-forum-hybrid.

Those attending in person on October 7 can register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/global-markets-forum-tickets-1435380083469. Meeting requests with management can be submitted through https://app.axleaccess.com/public/events/af52c32d-f448-47d6-9e92-e57aec27c065?token=b8ddb5ec-ea84-4191-a9d6-5789b83426b5.
The forum’s emphasis on face-to-face interaction, even virtually, underscores a growing trend in investor relations: companies are increasingly seeking to engage retail investors directly, bypassing traditional gatekeepers. With B2i Digital’s extensive reach, including a Stocktwits presence at https://stocktwits.com/B2iDigital, the event could set a precedent for how small and mid-cap companies connect with a global audience. As markets become more fragmented, such forums provide a centralized platform for discovery and due diligence.
Virtual Investor Conferences, an OTC Markets Group Inc. property, continues to expand its offerings, with events featuring companies from major exchanges worldwide. More information is available at www.virtualinvestorconferences.com. The original release can be viewed on www.newmediawire.com.
