Consensus – Toronto

Consensus, which is set to take place for the first time in Canada at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from 14-16 May 2025. After three years in Austin, TX, the widely anticipated event, which is now in its eleventh year, is expected to attract over 20,000 attendees, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts from around the globe.

Operated by the most trusted media, indices and data platform for the global finance and crypto community, CoinDesk, Consensus has grown into the longest-running and most influential crypto and Web3 event since its inception in 2015. Its most recent event, Consensus Hong Kong (which took place between February 18 and 20 this year) attracted nearly 10,000 in-person attendees from 102 countries, resulting in a combined AUM estimated at over US$4 trillion.

Toronto was chosen as the host city for Consensus due to its position as North America’s third-largest tech ecosystem and second-largest financial hub. Set to contribute significantly to the wider American and Canadian economies, Toronto marks a milestone for Consensus and serves as a prime location for this widely renowned event, due to its rich crypto heritage, which includes producing the world’s first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, fostering a vibrant community of blockchain developers and crypto users, and being the birthplace of Ethereum. Beyond its role in finance and technology, Toronto is a lively and dynamic city, known for its diverse restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and thriving cultural scene.

Consensus 2025 guarantees a series of major industry announcements along with discussions from a plethora of high-profile names in and around the cryptocurrency space. Some of these include Fortune 500 CEOs, politicians, lawmakers and notable figures across both the sports and entertainment worlds.
