The Future Has an Address
Canada's biggest blockchain conference is coming home — and the speaker lineup is already turning heads.
There’s a moment at every great conference — usually somewhere between a jaw-dropping keynote and an unexpected conversation by the pool — where you realize: this is why I came.
For nine years, Blockchain Futurist Conference has been engineering those moments.
And in 2026, it’s coming home.
A Homecoming Nine Years in the Making
July 21–22, 2026. The Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana Pool Bar, Toronto — the same waterfront venue where it all began — will once again host Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 and cryptocurrency event. This is the epicenter of blockchain innovation in Canada, and year nine promises to be the most ambitious edition yet.
If you’ve been watching the space from the sidelines, this is your invitation to step onto the field.
What’s Actually on the Table
The 2026 agenda isn’t chasing trends — it’s setting them. Expect deep, substantive programming across:
Crypto • AI • DeFi • RWAs • Stablecoins • Layer 2s • Quantum Computing • NFTs • and more
250+ speakers. Two full days. One iconic waterfront venue. And the kind of side conversations that don’t happen on Twitter — they happen in cabanas.
The People You’ll Be in the Room With
Early confirmed speakers already read like a who’s who of the industry’s most consequential builders and thinkers:
Don Tapscott — Executive Chairman & CEO, Blockchain Research Institute. The man who literally wrote the book on blockchain isn’t slowing down.
Janet Adams — Board Member, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. If you want to understand where AI and Web3 collide, start here.
Ethan Buchman — CEO of Informal Systems and co-creator of Cosmos. One of the most technically rigorous voices in decentralized infrastructure.
Chaddy Huussin — Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Yes, TradFi is in the building. And they’re not here to watch.
Jaime Leverton — CEO, ReserveOne. Bridging institutional capital and digital assets in real time.
Trevor Koverko — Co-Founder, Sapien. Building the decentralized social layer the internet actually needs.
Lisa Loud — Executive Director, Secret Network. Privacy isn’t a feature. It’s a fundamental right, and she’s making the case.
Todd Shapiro — Co-Founder, CEO & Director, Red Light Holland. Where mainstream culture meets the decentralized frontier.
Rob Goldstein — Senior Operating Advisor, Travls.io. Real-world blockchain applications for an industry overdue for disruption.
This list is growing. Keep watching.
The Real ROI of Being in the Room
The best thing that will happen to you at Blockchain Futurist Conference 2026 won’t be on the agenda though. It’ll be the conversation you have between sessions. The introduction someone makes over lunch. The investor who sees your demo and leans in.
You can’t engineer that from a livestream.
150 days. Mark it.
