Investors seeking direct access to management teams from companies listed in the U.S. and abroad will have a unique opportunity next week at The Global Markets Forum (Hybrid), a two-day event on October 7 and 8, 2026. Hosted by Virtual Investor Conferences and marketed by B2i Digital, Inc., the forum will showcase 20 companies across sectors including mining, biotechnology, digital health, technology, financial services, and energy. Day 1 will be hybrid, with presentations in person at the OTC Markets Group office in New York or remotely, while Day 2 will be entirely virtual.
The event matters because it bridges a gap between sophisticated retail investors and public companies that might otherwise be accessible only to institutions. As David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, noted, “These teams are making the effort to talk to sophisticated retail investors, not just the institutions. You should make the effort to schedule a time.” The forum’s format includes live presentations with audience Q&A and one-on-one meetings, allowing investors to ask questions directly and gain deeper insights.
Presenting companies on October 7 include Kuya Silver Corp., which operates the Bethania silver mine in Peru; MindMaze Therapeutics, a Swiss digital therapeutics firm; and First Phosphate Corp., which is building a lithium iron phosphate battery supply chain in North America. On October 8, virtual presenters include Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited, advancing a cobalt refinery in Western Australia, and Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc., developing a graphite value chain in Québec.
