Canada’s Largest Web3 Event to Take Place at Toronto’s Historic Old Stock Exchange Before Making Its U.S. Debut at the Guitar Hotel in the Greater Miami Area.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Blockchain Futurist Conference, Canada’s largest and longest-running Web3 event, owned by Emerald, will return to Toronto on May 13, 2025, at the historic Old Toronto Stock Exchange, as part of Canada Crypto Week.

Propelled by its growing impact and success in the Web3 space, Blockchain Futurist Conference will also make its highly anticipated U.S. debut on November 5-6, 2025, at the Guitar Hotel at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, located in the Greater Miami area.

With over a decade of experience in hosting Web3 events globally, the team behind the Blockchain Futurist Conference has solidified its position as a premier platform for innovation. Known for its unique and immersive venues, the conference is designed to foster networking, facilitate deal-making, and bring real-world Web3 to life. Acquired by Emerald in 2024, the conference is now poised to expand its reach and impact, connecting with an even broader B2B audience in the coming year.

“Web3 is reaching a major inflection point, with VC funding for blockchain startups rebounding to $13.6 billion in 2024 and projections hitting $18 billion in 2025. As institutional adoption accelerates and regulatory momentum builds, 2025 is poised to be a defining year for the industry,” said Tracy Leparulo, Founder of the Blockchain Futurist Conference. “Florida has cemented itself as a global blockchain hub, leading the charge with pro-crypto policies and blockchain initiatives shaping its tech landscape. This makes it the perfect stage to bring Canada’s premier Web3 event to the U.S. Our community has been calling for expansion, and now is the time. This is more than just growth—it’s a movement toward the future of decentralized innovation.”

The conferences include multiple stages, expo booths, NFT galleries, and more. They are best known for hosting multiple side events within a single venue, allowing attendees to enjoy curated panels, happy hours, networking events, and parties spread across one location.

“Blockchain Futurist Conference has long been a beacon of innovation in the Web3 community, and we were honored to welcome it into the Emerald portfolio last year,” said Jason Peskin, Senior Vice President of Sales Strategy & Xcelerator at Emerald. “An expansion into the U.S. marks a decisive step in our mission to champion groundbreaking technologies and foster industry leadership. We are excited to build upon the event’s rich legacy, amplifying its reach and impact to shape the future of Web3 for years to come.”
