Singapore — 28 June 2024 — TOKEN2049, the world’s largest cryptocurrency event, has announced its first roster of keynote speakers and high-profile title sponsors ahead of its much-anticipated return to Singapore. TOKEN2049 will take place at Marina Bay Sands on 18-19 September 2024, ahead of the 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix race weekend.
TOKEN2049 will once again return to Singapore to welcome 20,000 attendees from over 150 countries, with industry leaders and global cultural icons gathering in Asia’s leading economic hub to share the future of the zeitgeist. Following the record-breaking success of 2023, this year’s TOKEN2049 will feature more than 500 side events across the city-state over a week-long period from 16 to 22 September. Due to unprecedented demand, 90% of the exhibition space has sold out, following the TOKEN2049 ticket price increase at 11:59pm (GMT+8) on 28 June.
This year’s TOKEN2049 Singapore will offer attendees a festival experience like no other. A host of activities will be held across four floors of the conference venue, blending next-generation Web3 technologies with endless entertainment. The exhibition floor will be filled with interactive VR areas and immersive AI art experiences, indoor rock climbing boulders, competition-level cricket, cage football and mixed martial arts – just some of the array of other activities launching during the event dates. TOKEN2049 will be more than just an event, promising to create an environment where entertainment and learning coexist. The city of Singapore will be marked by the TOKEN2049 community, with thousands of attendees travelling around Singapore on TOKEN2049-branded buses and Singapore’s iconic pedal tricycles, ensuring attendees can spend the festival week in ease and style.
TOKEN2049’s new startup competition debuts to unveil the next generation of Web3 projects. Hundreds of aspiring applicants will be rigorously evaluated, and only the top 10 most innovative projects will be selected to showcase their innovations for the first time on the global stage.
