B2i Digital, Inc. has joined 121 Mining Investment New York as its Official Marketing Partner, the company announced today. The conference, part of an international series spanning London to Cape Town, will take place June 15-16, 2026 at Convene, 360 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. More than 300 qualified investors are expected to participate in over 1,000 pre-arranged one-on-one meetings, alongside sessions led by top analysts and fund managers on commodity outlooks and mining finance.
The partnership underscores a growing focus on mining and critical minerals. "Mining and critical minerals are a growing focus for B2i, across our conferences and the companies we work with," said David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital. "121 runs one of the best rooms in the business for this sector, and we want our investors in it."
B2i Digital will cover the event across press and social media, feature key elements on a dedicated landing page at https://b2idigital.com/121-mining-investment-conference, and drive registrations and meeting requests from its investor network. The company's expanded coverage includes a range of mining companies from established producers to developers and explorers, such as Andean Precious Metals, Centerra Gold, Century Lithium, Elevate Uranium, First Majestic Silver, Gunnison Copper, Korea Zinc, NovaGold, Serabi Gold, and U.S. GoldMining, among others.
The event is designed to bridge the gap between mining companies and investors. "Our events already connect mining companies with a strong global investor base, and working with B2i Digital builds on that," said Steve Davidson, Head of Investor Strategy at 121 Group. "They bring more investors who follow the space, and they help open it up to those who don’t know it well, but should. Some of the most compelling opportunities in this market are the ones that get overlooked and putting them in front of the right people is what New York is about."
Investors interested in meeting with management can apply through 121's registration at https://newyork.121mininginvestment.com/page/investor-registration, subject to standard vetting and approval.
This partnership comes at a time when critical minerals such as lithium, uranium, copper, and rare earth elements are in high demand due to the global energy transition and technological advancements. The conference lineup spans gold, silver, copper, lithium, uranium, and other in-demand critical minerals, reflecting the sector's importance to industries ranging from electronics to renewable energy. For business leaders, the implications are significant: access to capital for mining projects can accelerate the supply of materials essential for electric vehicles, batteries, and infrastructure, while investors gain exposure to a sector poised for growth amid geopolitical shifts and supply chain constraints.
B2i Digital, founded in 2021 by David Shapiro, a former Maxim Group investment banker and Chief Marketing Officer, acts as a capital markets matchmaker, connecting investors and companies through digital marketing, investor conferences, and direct meetings. The firm has a proprietary network of more than 1.7 million market participants and has served as the marketing partner for over 115 investor conferences. By partnering with 121 Mining Investment, B2i Digital aims to bring additional visibility to mining opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked.
The 121 Group series is known for its targeted approach, connecting mining company management teams with qualified institutional investors, private equity groups, and family offices. The New York edition is expected to draw significant attention from North American investors seeking exposure to the mining sector.
