City-Wide Activity During TOKEN2049 Week

Beyond the main conference, TOKEN2049 Week will feature more than 1,000 associated events across Singapore. These range from conferences and hackathons to investor meetings, meetups and networking receptions.

Several other major industry and business gatherings will occur in the city during the same period, including Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, the Network State Conference, the Milken Institute Asia Summit and the Forbes Global CEO Conference. The week coincides with the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

With our Dubai edition moving to 2027, our full focus this year is on Singapore. We’re seeing strong interest, with more than 70% of the exhibition floor already secured. We’ll also unveil new tracks and formats in the coming weeks as we expand the institutional side of the programme. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to TOKEN2049 this October for the largest industry gathering of the year.Alex Fiskum, Co-Founder of TOKEN2049

Hackathon and Startup Competition

The programme includes the second edition of TOKEN2049 Origins, a 36-hour hackathon. The NEXUS Startup Competition also returns. Registrations and applications for both initiatives are already running substantially ahead of the previous year and total several thousand.

Ticket and Partnership Availability

Happy Bird tickets remain on sale for a limited period. Organizers anticipate the event will reach capacity before the October dates. A restricted number of exhibition spaces and partnership opportunities are still open.
