B2i Digital Selected as Marketing Partner for Benchmark's 14th Annual Discovery Investor Conference

The Benchmark Company has named B2i Digital, Inc. as a Marketing Partner for its 14th Annual Discovery One-on-One Investor Conference, scheduled for December 4, 2025, at the New York Athletic Club in New York City. This partnership represents a significant development in how institutional investors connect with emerging growth companies through the combination of traditional face-to-face meetings and modern digital marketing reach.

As the Marketing Partner, B2i Digital will leverage its extensive network of institutional and sophisticated investors across digital and social channels to expand awareness of the exclusive conference. The firm's proprietary network includes over 1.4 million market participants, providing substantial amplification for an event that typically features more than 50 dynamic micro-cap and small-cap companies, many within Benchmark's research coverage universe. This collaboration reflects the growing importance of digital marketing in capital markets engagement, bridging traditional investor relations with modern communication channels.

The Discovery Conference format is entirely dedicated to direct investor engagement, featuring eight 40-minute meeting slots from 8:45 AM to 3:40 PM ET. The day includes one-on-one and small group meetings between qualified institutional investors and company management teams, along with a luncheon panel titled "Trends & Themes in Today's Capital Markets." This intensive schedule facilitates meaningful discussions in an intimate conference setting, distinguishing it from larger, more generalized financial conferences.

David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership, stating, "We are pleased to support Benchmark's Discovery Conference, which has become a vital connection point between innovative micro- and small-cap companies and institutional investors. Our collaboration reflects B2i Digital's mission to combine face-to-face investor engagement with the scale of digital marketing - connecting sophisticated investors with today's most promising emerging-growth companies." This approach addresses the critical challenge many emerging companies face in gaining visibility among institutional investors while maintaining the quality of engagement that traditional conferences provide.

The conference's invite-only nature, with registration subject to approval by Benchmark, ensures that participation remains focused on qualified institutional investors seeking meaningful investment opportunities. Institutional investors interested in attending may contact their Benchmark representative or Vince Curatola, Managing Director – Capital Markets, for participation details. The event's exclusivity combined with B2i Digital's broad digital reach creates a unique balance between targeted engagement and widespread awareness.

B2i Digital partners with leading investor conferences, public companies, and capital markets advisors through its Featured Conference, Featured Company, and Featured Expert programs. The firm's approach blends digital marketing technology with capital markets expertise, delivering boardroom-caliber investor engagement while giving growth companies institutional-quality exposure.
