The UK’s flagship Web3 summit, where pioneering businesses come together, returns on October 21–22, 2025 at London’s iconic Tobacco Dock. Now in its fifth year, Zebu Live is set to deliver its most impressive edition yet: bigger in scale, sharper in focus and elevated in calibre, with a speaker lineup and guest list that reflects the growing maturity of the blockchain space.

As the UK enters a new era of digital innovation, Zebu Live stands at the forefront of a national Web3 renaissance. Aligned with the government’s Plan for Change and Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ vision to make the UK the best place to innovate, the summit reflects growing momentum to position Britain as a global hub for digital assets.

Renowned for uniting the builders, thinkers and disruptors of Web3, Zebu Live 2025 will transform Tobacco Dock into a vibrant Web3 campus, featuring two main stages: a headline Main Stage and Alpha Stage with immersive spaces for keynotes and high-quality panels, and the Workshop Area for hands-on hackathons, fireside chats, and technical deep-dives.

The event is produced by leading Web3 marketing agency Flight3, backed by Dragons’ Den investor Steven Bartlett.

Under Bartlett’s influence, Zebu Live 2025 will double down on its mission to drive powerful connections and real business outcomes across the entire ecosystem. This year’s audience will bring together community members, startups, developers, investors, founders, executives, media, academics, NGOs and policymakers, creating a high-energy environment for collaboration and innovation.

With attendance projected to exceed 4,500 - 30% YoY growth from 2024 - the move to Tobacco Dock, one of the UK’s most creative and high-capacity venues, signals how fast the summit is scaling.
