Blockchain Futurist Conference, Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 and cryptocurrency event, is officially returning home to Toronto for its 9th edition on July 21–22, 2026.
The announcement was made live on stage during Blockchain Futurist Conference Florida, taking place November 5–6 at the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel in Miami. This year’s U.S. debut features a high-profile lineup including Eric Trump (American Bitcoin), global music icon Iggy Azalea, NBA Champion Tristan Thompson, and more than 250 speakers from leading Web3 companies such as Coinbase, Polkadot, and Rarible.
Returning once again to the iconic Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar, the 2026 Toronto edition will celebrate the event’s homecoming to where it all began, Canada’s hub for blockchain innovation.
