The NIBC Conference is a two-day event which is designed to provide attendees with an unparalleled learning and networking opportunity through keynote speeches, panels, workshops, and networking events. Every year, NIBC invites company founders, CEOs, and both senior and junior investment banking professionals to speak to attending students. With over 150 industry professionals and 350 students, NIBC represents a unique investment banking event in North America open to Graduate and Undergraduate students.

The conference is typically attended by Final Round competitors, who successfully qualified in the First Round of the NIBC Competition. However, non-competitors can also attend the NIBC Conference as Conference Delegates. As such, the conference is tailored to high-caliber delegates looking to hear from industry leaders and promote their professional networks early on in their careers.

In collaboration with sponsors, NIBC develops a collection of workshops, deal presentations and panels to be featured at the Conference. Delegates will have an opportunity to refine their practical understanding of topics such as Initial Public Offerings and Mergers and Acquisitions by listening to senior executives deliver presentations on recent marquee deals they closed. Additionally, seasoned industry professionals will offer insights on discussion panels about Client Perspectives, Private Equity and Alternative Investments.

The NIBC Organizing Team works closely with NIBC's corporate sponsors to put together a series of prominent speakers and networking events relevant to investment banking and capital markets. Please see below for an example itinerary from NIBC 2023.

Every year, NIBC offers delegates the opportunity to listen to prominent industry professionals speak about their wide array of experiences during the NIBC Conference's Keynote Speeches. A list of some of our past keynote speakers is provided below.

The 2025 Final Round of the NIBC Global Competition will be held at a 5-star venue in Vancouver, Canada.
