What is Consensus?

Since 2015, Consensus has been more than an event–it's the annual gathering of the tribes. It's where the most influential voices in blockchain, Web3, and AI come together to drive innovation forward.

In 2025, Consensus brings its flagship event to Toronto, where the world's first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were born. As North America's third-largest tech ecosystem and second-largest financial hub, Toronto unites global innovation with transformative technology leadership.

Built on CoinDesk's foundation of independent, unbiased journalism, Consensus Toronto will weave together breakthrough technologies, from digital assets to artificial intelligence, fostering the collaborations that define what's next.

Don’t miss this moment—join us in Toronto.
