TOKEN2049, regarded as the world’s largest crypto event, is preparing for its 2024 edition at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from 18-19 September. This year, the event has reached a significant milestone with all exhibition spaces selling out a month in advance. The conference is expected to attract over 20,000 attendees from more than 150 countries, confirming its place as a key meeting point for those involved in the web3 community.

The speaker lineup for this year’s event includes influential figures from various industries, such as Binance CEO Richard Teng, Solana Founder Anatoly Yakovenko, and entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan. Additionally, Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen, Grammy-nominated artist Iggy Azalea, and Blueprint Founder Bryan Johnson are among the diverse voices contributing to discussions. This range of participants highlights the event’s appeal across different sectors, including web3, AI, finance, technology, and popular culture.

TOKEN2049 Singapore will take place just before the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2024 race weekend, enhancing the context for networking and industry exchange. The two-day conference is part of a broader TOKEN2049 Week, which runs from 16-22 September and includes over 500 side events throughout the city-state. This series of events is set to provide ample opportunities for professional interaction and collaboration.

A new feature of TOKEN2049 Singapore is the debut of NEXUS, a startup competition aimed at early-stage web3 projects. Participants will present their ideas before an audience of industry professionals and venture capitalists, offering them a chance to gain recognition and investment on a global stage.

The event’s swift sell-out and increased capacity reflect the growing interest in the web3 sector. Alex Fiskum, Co-Founder of TOKEN2049, noted the substantial increase in attendance compared to previous years, pointing to the event’s role in fostering exchange and development within the crypto community. He mentioned that the expanded event space and rapid ticket sales suggest strong engagement from the global audience.

As TOKEN2049 Singapore draws near, interested parties are advised to secure tickets soon, as availability is limited. The event’s success is supported by several prominent sponsors, including OKX, BingX, TRON DAO, DWF Labs, Bitget, Bullish, and Zeebu, representing various facets of the evolving web3 ecosystem.

TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024 is set to bring together a wide array of industry leaders and innovators, facilitating important discussions and developments in the crypto and web3 sectors. The event, with its extensive speaker lineup, startup competition, and week-long activities, continues to serve as a central platform for those engaged in the ongoing transformation of digital industries.
