Investors seeking direct engagement with management teams from companies listed in the U.S. and abroad will have a two-day opportunity in October, as B2i Digital, Inc. and Virtual Investor Conferences present The Global Markets Forum (Hybrid). The event, scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, and Thursday, October 8, 2026, will feature 20 companies from sectors including mining and battery materials, biotechnology, digital health, technology, financial services, and energy and environment. Day 1 will be hybrid, with management teams presenting in person at the OTC Markets Group office in New York or remotely, while Day 2 will be fully virtual. The forum matters because it offers a rare chance for sophisticated retail investors to hear directly from executives and ask questions, not just institutions, according to David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc. “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,” Shapiro said. “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 event matters because it democratizes access to corporate management for retail investors, who often lack the same opportunities as institutional investors to question executives directly. With companies from the U.S., Switzerland, Spain, the U.K., Singapore, Australia, and Canada participating, the forum provides a global perspective on sectors critical to the economy, from rare disease treatments to battery materials for electric vehicles and quantum computing research. For investors, the ability to request one-on-one meetings, whether in person or virtual, could yield insights that inform investment decisions. The hybrid format also accommodates different levels of comfort and geographic locations, potentially broadening participation. As financial markets continue to evolve, such direct engagement may become a key component of due diligence for individual investors.
