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

The Benchmark Company has named B2i Digital, Inc. as its marketing partner for the 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 expansion of the conference's reach, as B2i Digital will promote the event to its network of 1.4 million institutional and sophisticated investors across digital and social channels. The collaboration combines Benchmark's established conference platform with B2i Digital's extensive digital marketing capabilities, creating a powerful synergy for connecting emerging growth companies with qualified investors.

The Discovery Conference serves as a vital connection point between dynamic publicly traded micro-cap and small-cap companies and institutional investors through focused one-on-one and small group meetings. The event features eight 40-minute meeting slots running from 8:45 AM to 3:40 PM ET, along with a luncheon panel discussion titled "Trends & Themes in Today's Capital Markets." This exclusive format is entirely dedicated to direct investor engagement, providing companies within Benchmark's research coverage universe and beyond with meaningful access to capital markets participants. The intimate conference setting facilitates deeper discussions than typically possible in larger investment forums.

David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, stating that it reflects B2i Digital's mission to combine face-to-face investor engagement with the scale of digital marketing. The collaboration enables B2i Digital to connect sophisticated investors with today's most promising emerging-growth companies through its proprietary network and digital marketing expertise. This approach represents the evolving landscape of investor relations, where traditional conference formats are enhanced by digital outreach to maximize visibility and engagement opportunities for participating companies.

The conference remains an invite-only event, with registration subject to approval by Benchmark. Institutional investors interested in participation must contact their Benchmark representative or Vince Curatola, Managing Director of Capital Markets. The partnership between B2i Digital and Benchmark represents a significant development in how investor conferences leverage digital marketing to expand their reach while maintaining the quality and exclusivity of participant interactions. This model could potentially set a new standard for how financial conferences approach audience development and engagement in an increasingly digital investment landscape.

B2i Digital's role as marketing partner demonstrates the growing importance of digital channels in capital markets engagement. Through its Featured Conference program, B2i Digital brings institutional-quality exposure to growth companies by blending digital marketing technology with capital markets expertise. Meanwhile, Benchmark continues its 35-year tradition of providing unbiased guidance and exceptional transaction execution through its platform at The Benchmark Company. The combination of these capabilities creates a comprehensive approach to investor engagement that benefits both companies seeking capital and investors seeking promising investment opportunities.
