Investors seeking exposure to early-stage growth stories will have the opportunity to hear directly from management teams of 18 OTCQB Venture Market companies during the upcoming OTCQB Virtual Investor Conference, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, August 5-6, 2026. The event, organized by OTC Markets Group and featuring B2i Digital as the Official Marketing Partner, will showcase a diverse array of sectors including precious metals, critical minerals, natural hydrogen, artificial intelligence, clinical-stage biotechnology, and specialty construction materials.
Each presenting company will have 30 minutes for a live presentation and Q&A session, with one-on-one meetings available through the conference platform. Replays will be posted to the B2i Digital and OTC Markets YouTube channels, ensuring broader access for investors unable to attend live. The conference is designed to provide a direct line of communication between investors and the leadership of these venture-stage companies, a format that B2i Digital CEO David Shapiro emphasizes as invaluable: “nothing beats hearing a CEO answer a question they didn’t script,” he said, underscoring the authenticity of these interactions.
The agenda spans two days with presentations from companies dual-listed on major exchanges. On Wednesday, August 5, sessions begin at 11:00 AM ET with Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc., followed by Pecoy Copper Corp., Tocvan Ventures Corp., and Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. Thursday’s schedule features Sparc Technologies Limited, MDJM Ltd., Connecting Excellence Group Plc, HyTerra Ltd., Bold Ventures, Inc., Green Bridge Metals Corporation, Thunder Gold Corp., SalesCloser Technologies Ltd., Star Gold Corp., Valor Gold Corp., Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc., LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc., Avanti Gold Corp., and Cematrix Corp. This lineup reflects the breadth of innovation and resource development present on the OTCQB market.
The significance of this conference lies in its focus on the OTCQB Venture Market itself, rather than a single sector. It offers investors a window into companies that are often at the forefront of emerging trends, such as natural hydrogen exploration and conversational AI, alongside traditional resource extraction. For B2i Digital, the event is part of its broader mission to connect public companies with a network of over 1.7 million retail and institutional market participants. The firm’s marketing engine amplifies presentations before, during, and after the event, providing visibility that can be critical for these growth-stage companies.
According to David Shapiro, who founded B2i Digital in 2021 after a career as an investment banker and chief marketing officer, the conference brings together the perspectives of an investor, banker, and marketer—all of which agree on the value of direct engagement. “The OTCQB Venture Market is where growth stories get written early,” he noted, “and for two days investors can question the authors directly.” This sentiment is echoed by the conference’s structure, which prioritizes interactive sessions over passive presentations.
Interested investors can register and view company profiles through the conference registration page.

As the venture market continues to attract attention from investors seeking high-growth opportunities, this conference represents a key venue for discovering emerging companies and engaging with their leadership teams.
