The Blockchain Futurist Conference marked its seventh consecutive year in Toronto, continuing its legacy as Canada’s longest-running Web3 conference. Held as part of Canada Crypto Week, the conference once again brought together the Web3 community for a packed day of connection, collaboration, and a glimpse into a decentralized future.
This year’s edition introduced a new format, transforming the historic Old Toronto Stock Exchange into a Web3 future world. The date and location were strategically aligned with other major tech events across the city. Futurist Conference continues to deliver an immersive experience, featuring projection-mapped walls, multi-level activations, VR, NFT galleries, and more — bridging the past and future of finance.
Key highlights from the 2025 Toronto edition included:
- Over 120 industry experts speaking across two stages

Looking Ahead: U.S. Expansion in November
Following the success in Toronto, Blockchain Futurist Conference now turns its attention to its U.S. debut. The next edition will take place November 5–6, 2025, at the Seminole Hard Rock Guitar Hotel and DAER Dayclub & Nightclub in Greater Miami, Florida.
This will be the flagship event of the year for the Futurist team. While the Toronto edition served as a strong lead-in, the Miami conference is set to deliver the full-scale Futurist experience. With two full days of programming, five stages, indoor and outdoor activations, private cabanas, and high-impact networking, it will offer a larger format and broader international reach — a significant expansion from what was considered a mini-conference in Toronto.
The Miami event is expected to be the premier Web3 event in the U.S. this fall, focused on real deal flow and meaningful connections.
Tickets are now on sale, and applications are open to speakers, sponsors, community partners, media, and volunteers. For more information or to get involved, visit: www.futuristconference.com
