Inside the 2026 Disruptive Growth & Life Sciences Conference: What Two Days at the Westin Actually Look Like

Investor conferences can take a lot of different forms. Some lean heavily toward networking, while others focus primarily on company presentations and scheduled investor meetings.

The Moody Capital Solutions 2026 Disruptive Growth & Life Sciences Conference falls into the latter category. Organized by an investment bank, the two-day event is designed to bring emerging and under-covered companies together with investors actively looking for opportunities in the small- and mid-cap markets.

Moody Capital Solutions is an investment bank with a roughly 40-year history and offices in Alpharetta, Georgia, and at 230 Park Avenue in New York. A FINRA and SIPC member, the firm provides capital raising, M&A and advisory services to public and private companies, with a focus that includes life sciences, technology and healthcare. In February 2025, Moody Capital consolidated its Capitalyst division into the parent firm, expanding its investment banking capabilities.

That background helps explain the structure of the conference. Rather than building the agenda around broad industry discussions, much of the programming focuses on issues that emerging companies and their investors are dealing with now: raising capital, accessing the public markets, maintaining a listing and connecting directly with potential investors.

Chairman and CEO Richard H. Kreger has framed the 2026 conference around two areas experiencing particularly strong activity. He noted that “artificial intelligence has lit a fire for quickly scaling emerging growth companies,” while life sciences is seeing “unprecedented growth amid a spike of FDA approvals, corporate buyouts and deregulation.”

Those themes form the conference’s two primary tracks, which will run concurrently across both days.

The life sciences track includes biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology and diagnostics. Confirmed presenters include American Gene Technologies, BiovaXys, Citius Pharmaceuticals, CytoSorbents, GT Biopharma, ProMIS Neurosciences, Soligenix and NurExone Biologic.

The disruptive growth track focuses on technology, energy and infrastructure. Presenting companies include AIB Data Centers, Axe Compute, Bit Digital, Century Lithium, Eco Wave Power, NeoVolta, Ocean Power Technologies, Interlink Electronics, Intrusion Inc., AmpliTech, U.S. Gold Corp and GPO Plus, among others.

More than 50 companies are scheduled to present in total, with presentations delivered in person by members of their executive teams. NeoVolta’s Wednesday, September 9 presentation, for example, is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET and will be led by CEO Ardes Johnson.

Alongside the two primary tracks, the conference will also feature a dedicated Mr. Crowd(R) crowdfunding track for private companies raising capital.

That gives investors another category of companies to explore during the event. Most small-cap investor conferences are centered on publicly traded companies. Here, attendees will also have access to private companies that may be at an earlier point in the capital-raising process.

For family offices and accredited individual investors, both of which are part of the conference’s intended audience, having public and private opportunities available at the same event broadens the range of companies they can evaluate.

Presentations are only one part of the two-day schedule. The announced agenda also includes:

  • One-on-one investor meetings scheduled through the conference platform and held throughout both days
  • Executive fireside chats offering longer, moderated conversations with management teams
  • Capital markets outlook panels focused on the current financing environment
  • Panels on going public and remaining listed, including discussions around uplisting, compliance and maintaining a public listing
  • Networking receptions bringing company executives together with institutional investors, family offices and other attendees

The mix of programming reflects the two groups the conference is designed to bring together. Company executives have access to discussions about financing and navigating the public markets, while investors have dedicated time for presentations, one-on-one meetings and direct conversations with management.

Investor registration and one-on-one scheduling are handled through the MeetMax platform. Registered investors can attend company presentations and request individual meetings with participating management teams.

In late August, Moody Capital engaged IBN (InvestorBrandNetwork) as the conference’s official media partner.

IBN will support the event through article syndication, press release distribution and social media amplification across a network that includes more than 70 branded properties, over 2 million social media followers and more than 5,000 syndication partners.

For presenting companies, that creates opportunities for conference-related announcements and coverage to reach audiences beyond those attending in New York. It also gives investors another way to follow company news and conference developments before, during and after the event.

The format is fairly straightforward: two days, two primary tracks, more than 50 presenting companies, a private-company crowdfunding track and dedicated time for one-on-one investor meetings.

The focus throughout is direct access. For emerging companies, that means getting in front of investors who may not otherwise encounter their stories through traditional research coverage. For investors, it means being able to hear directly from management, ask questions and compare a large number of opportunities in a relatively short period of time.

With both biotech and AI-related infrastructure attracting significant investor attention in 2026, the timing gives those conversations additional relevance.

Getting the most out of the conference will ultimately come down to preparation: identifying the companies worth seeing, requesting the right meetings and deciding which presentations warrant a closer look after everyone leaves the Westin.
