TezCon brings artists, musicians, and developers together to connect, share their work, and build something real.
This year, it will take place on June 28, 2025, at Kenyon Hall in Seattle. This historic West Seattle venue hosts live performances and conversations and offers better accessibility and parking than last year’s event at the now-closed NFT Art Museum.
Organizer Marc Fendel says this: “The goal is to come together, hang out in real life, share our work, and make memories.”
TezCon 2025 spans four days with meetups, scenic tours, and a final outdoor music showcase. Whether you’re showcasing your work or connecting with others in the Tezos creative space, there’s plenty to experience.
Event Details: What to Expect
The main gathering is on June 28 at Kenyon Hall, but events run throughout the weekend. Panels will feature artists, musicians, and developers sharing their work and perspectives. Live performances will take place on stage, and outside of the scheduled sessions, there’s time to meet people at the meet-and-greet or the afterparty a few blocks away.
Kenyon Hall hosts live performances and conversations in a historic West Seattle setting. It offers better accessibility, parking, and a space built for connection.

TezCon 2025: Schedule and Highlights
TezCon 2025 brings four days of events, meetups, and live showcases across Seattle. Something is happening every day, whether you’re exploring the city, connecting with artists, or catching live performances.
June 26 — Seattle Tour with Marc Fendel
Marc Fendel leads a tour through some of Seattle’s best views, stopping at Alki Beach and other beautiful Seattle destinations. Early arrivals can meet, explore the city, and connect before the main event.
June 27 — Duwamish Longhouse Tour & Evening Meetup
At 1 p.m., a guided tour of the Duwamish Longhouse will share the history and culture of Seattle’s First People.
Later, attendees meet at Future Primitive Brewing in White Center. It’s an easygoing spot to grab a drink and meet others before TezCon.
June 28 — TezCon at Kenyon Hall & Afterparty
Kenyon Hall will host panels, live music, and artist showcases from 4 to 10 p.m. PST. There will be plenty of room for performances and good conversation.
Afterward, the afterparty kicks off nearby, allowing everyone to hang out and wind down.
June 29: Tezos Music Showcase
The weekend closes with a Tezos Music Showcase from 2–6 p.m. at Barry’s & Nikki Jostle’s Backyard (7312 12th Ave. SW, West Seattle). Due to the massive interest in music performances, this event will be a highlight of the weekend. Barry and Nikki are known for hosting concerts all summer, and their backyard is fully equipped with a sound system and a welcoming atmosphere. Previously, these music gatherings were held at the Highland Park Improvement Club before the building burned during the COVID lockdowns. This final event gives musicians one last chance to share their work in a beautiful outdoor setting.
Venue: Kenyon Hall
A historic venue in West Seattle, Kenyon Hall has long hosted live performances and community events. Its intimate setting makes it an excellent fit for a night of music and art.
Kenyon Hall is easier to get to than last year’s downtown venue, with better parking and access. Known for its grand piano and 1928 Wurlitzer Theatre pipe organ, it’s an easy place to settle in, whether listening to live music, catching a panel, or meeting people. With more parking and better access than last year’s downtown venue, it’s a space that makes connecting simple.
Artists and musicians looking to participate are encouraged to showcase their work. If you’re interested, the best way to get involved is through the TezCon Discord, where organizers coordinate opportunities.
What to Expect: Panels, Music, and Community
TezCon 2025 is a place for artists, musicians, and developers to meet, share their work, and talk about what they’re building.
Panels cover everything from music and art to the latest Tezos projects, with open discussions instead of scripted presentations. Live performances are part of the event from start to finish, whether at Kenyon Hall or the final outdoor showcase.
TezCon is about the people just as much as the event. Whether you’re grabbing a drink at Future Primitive, catching up between sessions, or making plans for the afterparty, there’s plenty of time to meet new faces, trade ideas, and see what everyone’s working on.
Want to take part? Musicians, artists, and developers can share their work, jump into discussions, or get up on stage. If that sounds like your thing, hop into the TezCon Discord to find out what spots are open for panels, performances, and exhibitions.
