Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - ArcStone Kingswood, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC, today announced its third annual ArcStone Kingswood Growth Summit, hosted on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Toronto's financial district.

The full-day capital markets conference will bring together public issuers listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, TMX and CSE, institutional investors, family offices, retail wealth advisors, and the broader sell-side ecosystem community for a curated program of presentations, sector panels, structured 1-on-1 meetings, and networking.

Now in its third year, the ArcStone Kingswood Growth Summit has established itself as an important capital markets conference hosted in Toronto, with prior editions delivering record attendance, expanded issuer participation, and deepening institutional and retail investor engagement. The 2026 edition introduces an extended evening networking program and a new Evening Before VIP Investor Dinner.

"The Growth Summit is where our ecosystem comes together: issuers, institutional investors, and retail wealth participants in one room for one day," said Michael Astone, Chief Executive Officer of ArcStone. "Our focus this year is on the depth and quality of investor engagement: more curated 1-on-1 meetings, longer programming, and an extended evening networking window. September is an ideal time to bring everyone together on Bay Street, following the summer period, and to welcome our partners from New York, Florida, and abroad to meet with public growth companies."

The ArcStone Kingswood Growth Summit provides a curated environment for U.S.- and Canadian-listed public issuers, and select pre-IPO private companies, to engage directly with institutional investors, family offices, registered investment advisors, and the retail wealth channel. The Summit is designed to support capital flows, enhance market visibility, and advance strategic initiatives such as cross-border listings, follow-on financings, and uplisting to senior exchanges.

Issuers participating in prior editions have spanned natural resources, critical minerals, energy transition, technology, healthcare and life sciences, fintech, and space and defense technology, with listings on the NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSE American, TSX, TSX Venture, CSE, Cboe Canada, and OTC markets.

The full-day conference is hosted in the Dominion Ballroom of the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, a premier downtown Toronto venue, with a single-track program of company presentations, sector panels, and fireside chats running from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Pre-planned 1-on-1 meetings, senior banker introductions, and meet-and-greets with retail wealth brokers from the ArcStone Kingswood distribution network run throughout the day.

The 2026 edition introduces an Evening Before VIP Investor Dinner, an exclusive, invitation-only gathering hosted the night prior to the Summit, designed to convene senior issuer executives and institutional capital in a relaxed pre-conference setting.
