Investors seeking direct access to management teams from companies listed on exchanges worldwide will have a unique opportunity at The Global Markets Forum (Hybrid), hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences and promoted by B2i Digital, Inc. as the Official Marketing Partner. The event, taking place on October 7 and 8, 2026, will feature live presentations and Q&A sessions with companies spanning mining and battery materials, biotechnology, digital health, technology, financial services, and energy and environment. Day 1 will be hybrid, with in-person presentations at the OTC Markets Group office in New York and remote participation, while Day 2 will be entirely virtual. This format reflects the evolving landscape of investor relations, where geographic boundaries are increasingly blurred, allowing a broader pool of investors to engage with companies that might otherwise be inaccessible.
The significance of this forum lies in its ability to democratize access to corporate leadership. As David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., noted, “Companies listed in the U.S. and around the world, including Zurich, Madrid, London, Singapore, Sydney and Toronto, come to New York, virtually or in person, for this special hybrid event. The management teams present live, then take your questions. Ask for the in-person or virtual meeting. I say that every time, because face to face is where you learn the most.” This emphasis on direct interaction underscores a shift toward more transparent and accessible investor communication, which can lead to better-informed investment decisions and stronger market confidence.
The presenting companies represent a diverse array of industries and geographies, from Kuya Silver Corp., which operates a silver mine in Peru, to MetaOptics Ltd., a Singapore-based semiconductor optics company. Other notable participants include MindMaze Therapeutics, a Swiss digital therapeutics firm; Oryzon Genomics SA, a Spanish clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company; and Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc., which is developing a graphite value chain in Québec. The inclusion of such a wide range of sectors and regions highlights the global nature of capital markets and the importance of cross-border investment opportunities. For investors, this forum provides a rare chance to hear directly from management teams and ask questions, which is particularly valuable for those interested in emerging technologies, critical minerals, and healthcare innovations.
Moreover, the event’s hybrid structure—combining in-person and virtual elements—cater to different investor preferences and circumstances. Those attending in person on October 7 can meet management at the OTC Markets Group office, while virtual attendees can request one-on-one meetings through the event platform. This flexibility is likely to increase participation and engagement, as investors can tailor their experience to their needs. The event also offers replays on B2i Digital and OTC Markets YouTube channels, extending its reach beyond the live sessions.

Beyond the immediate event, the forum signals the growing importance of hybrid investor conferences as a tool for companies to broaden their investor base and for investors to discover opportunities beyond their home markets. With B2i Digital’s media network reaching a monthly audience of 330 million and a community of 1.7 million investors, the event amplifies the visibility of presenting companies, potentially impacting their stock liquidity and valuation. As capital markets continue to globalize, platforms like this facilitate the flow of information and capital across borders, ultimately contributing to more efficient and integrated financial markets. For those unable to attend live, replays will be available, ensuring the content remains accessible.
