Toronto , July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agentic Day Canada: The AI Infrastructure & Investment Summit takes place July 21–22 at Rebel in Toronto, as an official side event of Blockchain Futurist Conference, the anchor of Canada Crypto Week. Powered by HelloAgentic and presented by Mel, the agentic terminal, the Canadian edition completes a 2026 series that has now spanned three countries and two continents, built on a single thesis: autonomous AI will scale on infrastructure, regulation, and capital, not models alone.
Agentic Day Canada runs across both days of the conference. The Summit opens July 21 with four sessions across the full stack of the agentic economy. The conversation continues the following morning at the Institutional Breakfast on July 22, presented by SheFi and BACI, headlined by a fireside chat, Cayman and the Future of Tokenised Finance, with Kristy-Anne Leith, a partner at Campbells leading the way in the Cayman Islands' digital assets and blockchain sector, in conversation with Danielle Pienaar, Web3 & Blockchain Director at Verdant Management and Chair of Women in Blockchain at BACI.
The series has convened three rooms in three months. In May, Agentic Day drew more than 400 founders, investors, and operators to the Tesla Design District in Miami during Consensus Week.
In June, the Amsterdam edition ran as an official side event of Dutch Blockchain Week, presented by global exchange WEEX, drawing decision-makers who flew in from San Francisco, Cape Town, London, Singapore, Germany, and beyond.
Canada is the third.
The Summit program runs four sessions.
AI Infrastructure / Physical AI features Jeffrey Gregor, General Manager of OVHcloud US.
Agentic Finance, moderated by WEEX Chief Operating Officer Andrew Weiner, brings together web3 attorney Michael Bacina of NXT Law, Binaxity co-founder Nick Zhu, and Jordan Kerridge — known to crypto investors worldwide as That Martini Guy, who has covered Bitcoin markets daily since 2016.
Agentic Commerce examines what changes when the buyer is software, with the Solana Foundation, Mastercard Start Path alum Coala Pay, and Capgemini.
The day closes with Where AI Meets Capital, a fireside on what investors are actually funding — with Stanley Diao of the Cyberport DraperDragon Accelerator and Vahid Fakhr, a ten-year venture capitalist who left to build an AI that reads pitch decks for a living.
The Summit also features a live demonstration of Mel, the agentic terminal from HelloAgentic — where a developer describes a task in plain English and a team of agents writes, runs, and verifies the work before it ships.
Agentic Day Canada is powered by HelloAgentic and presented by Mel, the agentic terminal, with co-hosts Binaxity, BACI, NXT Law, and 0G Labs, and community partners SheFi and Miami Fintech Club.
