If you lead a public microcap or small-cap company—or you’re on the IR/BD/finance side—this is your one-stop, always-useful list of investor conferences, showcases, sector expos, and 1×1 meeting forums across the U.S. and Canada. Use it to plan presentations, investor 1×1s, and deal flow all year.
Tip: Prioritize events with formal 1×1 meeting systems (LD Micro, ROTH, DealFlow’s Microcap Conference, Sidoti virtuals, Bloom Burton, PDAC/VRIC for resources). These consistently turn into real follow-ups.
