The D.A. Davidson 2026 Technology Conference takes place Thursday, June 11, in Nashville, Tennessee. Hosted by D.A. Davidson & Co., the Great Falls, Montana-headquartered investment bank with a long-standing focus on mid-market equity coverage, the conference targets technology and financial technology companies and the institutional investors that follow them.
Confirmed participants include ACI Worldwide CFO Bobby Leibrock and SVP John Kraft, representing the payments technology platform at an event positioned toward the fintech and enterprise software names that anchor D.A. Davidson’s technology research practice. The conference follows the inaugural D.A. Davidson Technology & Consumer Conference held in Nashville in June 2025, establishing the event as a recurring fixture on the mid-market technology investor calendar.
D.A. Davidson’s conference circuit occupies a distinct position relative to the larger sell-side gatherings earlier in the spring. Where J.P. Morgan, TD Cowen, and Bank of America draw heavily from large-cap and upper-mid-cap rosters, D.A. Davidson’s event tends to concentrate on growth-stage and emerging-market-cap technology companies for which institutional coverage is thinner and direct management access carries proportionally greater analytical weight. The Nashville setting, which has grown steadily as a venue for financial and technology investor events, aligns with the firm’s regional reach and its emphasis on companies outside the coastal technology corridors.
Nashville’s emergence as a secondary technology and financial services hub — driven by healthcare IT, payments infrastructure, and enterprise software firms concentrated in the metro — gives the D.A. Davidson conference a degree of geographic coherence that distinguishes it from events held in New York or San Francisco by default. The conference arrives one week after the Bank of America Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, closing out the densest stretch of institutional technology investor events on the 2026 calendar.
