What's better for your business — two packed conference days or a week of targeted gatherings?
Main Conference (2 days):
Scale: 25,000+ attendees, 300+ speakers, 500+ exhibitors across five floors of Marina Bay Sands;
Advantages: Full industry immersion, major announcements, comprehensive exhibitor showcase;
Disadvantages: Overwhelming crowds, superficial networking, limited conversation time.
TOKEN2049 Week (7+ days):
Scale: 500+ side events of various formats and sizes throughout Singapore;
Advantages: Targeted audiences, intimate settings, deeper discussions, quality over quantity;
Disadvantages: Requires strategic planning, invitation hurdles, complex logistics.
Why TOKEN2049 Week consistently outperforms the main event
We've seen it at every TOKEN2049: real deals rarely happen on the main floor. In a sea of thousands, conversations stay shallow as everyone rushes between panels. At side events with 30-1000+ select participants, whether on rooftops or yachts, people actually connect and collaborate.
Singapore's TOKEN2049 Week ecosystem suggestions.
Start planning at least two months ahead or you'll miss the most valuable invite-only gatherings.
Create your Luma profile today since that's where most professional organizers manage their exclusive guest lists.
Know Singapore’s geography to choose locations convenient for TOKEN2049 attendees.
Book your featured speakers early - top KOLs & VCs have already packed their schedules. If you need access to industry leaders, consider booking through FUTURUM
Book your flights to arrive early and leave late so you don't miss the pre and post-conference events where the real deals happen.
The ultimate TOKEN2049 strategy: Host your own side event
For projects looking to maximize their TOKEN2049 impact, hosting your own side event could become the most beneficial, since you know what is relevant for your goal.
When you control the guest list, you decide exactly who's in the room. This lets you secure partnerships that bring far more investment, traffic, and sales if you’d spent that budget on marketing or bots. Notice that most major Web3 companies like OKX, Bybit and Binance use this exact strategy, hosting regular regional events to maintain their audience.
When you set the format, you shape the conversations. By bringing in recognized speakers and KOLs, you demonstrate your company’s caliber and push your brand forward.
If you create a memorable experience, people remember both you and your project long after they've forgotten which booths they visited at the main conference.
Introducing FUTURUM: your TOKEN2049 week partner
Organizing a crypto event sounds simple enough, but it's actually a minefield if you don't know what you're doing. What are your options?
Option 1: Hiring a local event agency
Most event agencies just don't get crypto. They treat it like any corporate conference - same formats, same approaches. They'll book you a nice venue and pretty lights, but they have zero understanding of the specific dynamics that make crypto events work. They don't know why people come, what they expect, or how to create the right environment. Plus, during TOKEN2049 Week, your event competes with hundreds of others in Luma - why would attendees choose yours over 50 others happening the same day?
Option 2: Rely on your team
On the flip side, we've seen crypto projects try to handle events internally because they have team members who understand the market. But organizing events is its own skill set. These teams typically underestimate everything from venue negotiations to speaker management to the hundred tiny logistics details that can derail an event. To successfully organize a project and select the right venue, you need to know Singapore relevant locations - choosing blindly or using Google maps - often leads to disaster.
Option 3: FUTURUM
That's exactly why we built FUTURUM. After years of doing this ourselves - organizing over 45 events across Dubai, Singapore, Cyprus, Caucasus region and other major crypto hubs including Vitalik Buterin's ZuVillage gatherings, XDAO roadshows in Dubai, and Binance meetups with CZ in Georgia - we've created a system that combines both sides: deep crypto knowledge with practical event expertise. We’ve learned every painful lesson in crypto event planning firsthand so you don’t have to.
As official TOKEN2049 partners, we've built relationships with venues that understand crypto events, curated a network of 150+ industry speakers including top KOLs and VCs, and executed 10+ global roadshows that put projects in front of exactly the right audiences.
Our approach covers everything from marketing to guest acquisition. We know which crypto groups to target and how to attract qualified attendees. We can bring in top-tier speakers, VCs and industry leaders.
C-level executives come to our events because we personally invite them. We understand the entire process from Luma moderation to agenda development, helping your event stand out among 500 others during TOKEN2049 Week.
We’ve already researched Singapore and other cities, analyzed venues with video walkthroughs, know pricing across the city and have established relationships with the best locations.
TOKEN2049 Singapore is coming fast. The question isn't whether you'll be there, but whether your time in Singapore will actually move your business forward or just leave you with sore feet and a stack of business cards from people you barely remember meeting.
