Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 and AI conference continues to differentiate itself through business development and immersive experiences
Toronto, ON — [March 4, 2026] — Blockchain Futurist Conference returns to Toronto on July 21–22, 2026, bringing Canada’s largest Web3 and AI event back to its iconic flagship venue, Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar.
In its ninth edition, Blockchain Futurist Conference is set to deliver its largest show yet. Now part of Emerald Expositions’ global portfolio of industry-leading B2B events, the conference has expanded its scale and international reach while remaining under the leadership of its founding team. The 2026 event marks a defining new chapter for Canada’s flagship Web3 and AI gathering.
Rather than hosting events in traditional convention centers, Futurist structures its experiences to maximize networking and deal-making and is widely recognized as a place where real business gets done. The conference convenes founders, C-suite executives, institutional investors, policymakers, and business development representatives in an environment intentionally designed for high-value connections.
The conference was born at Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar, the largest nightclub and day club venue in North America. This setting unlocks features that most Web3 and AI conferences simply cannot offer. A multi-million-dollar sound and lighting system powers the main stage, unconventional booths designed for conversation, and plenty of spaces to host side events, happy hours, and workshops onsite.
One of the conference’s most recognizable features is its signature VIP cabanas. Located on the waterfront with views of Toronto’s skyline, these private spaces are hosted by sponsors to meet with teams, investors, and senior executives. Situated within the VIP area, the cabanas consistently sell out each year, reflecting strong demand for premium, business-focused networking. To book a VIP Cabana please fill out the form here.
This concept was proven again in 2025 when the Futurist team expanded to South Florida. The U.S. edition was hosted at a comparable indoor-outdoor nightclub and day club venue, confirming that Futurist’s business development-focused approach resonates beyond Toronto and delivers consistent value in new markets.
As Blockchain Futurist Conference returns to Toronto for its ninth edition, the 2026 program is shaping up to be one of its most impactful to date. The conference will cover key topics including Web3 and AI convergence, Canadian and global regulation, the future of finance, payments, and stablecoins, RWAs, and institutional adoption.
Among the confirmed speakers for 2026 are:
- Don Tapscott, Executive Chairman and CEO, Blockchain Research Institute
- Janet Adams, Board Member, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance
- Ethan Buchman, CEO, Informal Systems, Cycles
- Michael Sanders, Sr. Director, Partnerships & Investor Relationships, Polygon
- Chaddy Huussin, Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase & Co.
- Eric Turner, CEO, Messari
- Ada Vaughn, Senior Director of DeFi Partnerships, Stellar Development Foundation
- Jaime Leverton, CEO, ReserveOne
In addition to its speaker lineup, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 has already confirmed early participation from sponsors actively building the future of Web3 and digital assets.
With more speakers and sponsors to be announced in the months ahead, Blockchain Futurist Conference Toronto 2026 marks a defining moment for the event’s ninth year. As Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 conference, it brings together the leaders shaping Web3 and AI in an environment built for meaningful engagement and long-term collaboration, making it a must-attend event on the 2026 conference calendar.
