TOKEN2049, Asia's premiere event for web3 and crypto, has by just showcased its first set of esteemed speakers in anticipation of its return to Singapore. The event will unfold at Marina Bay Sands from September 13 to 14, 2023, right before the Singapore Grand Prix weekend.

The event expects to engage over 10,000 attendees spanning 3,500+ businesses and will feature more than 300 side events and networking opportunities from September 11 to 17 throughout the city.

The agenda for this year will delve into a spectrum of subjects, such as regulatory evolution, the burgeoning AI landscape, Web3 gaming, NFTs, the metaverse, along with DeFi, scalability issues, and cross-platform compatibility.

The initial line-up of speakers announced includes significant industry moments, featuring angel investor Balaji Srinivasan, Co-Founder of ConsenSys Joe Lubin, CEO & Founder of Aave Stani Kulechov, Galaxy Digital’s CEO Mike Novogratz, Polygon’s co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, alongside other significant industry representatives.

Gathering innovators and decision-makers from around the world, the 2023 conference introduces new features like hacker houses, hands-on workshops, and NFT exhibitions. A recent press release noted that this year’s gathering has already exceeded last year’s participation, sponsorship, and speaker milestones, with numbers on the rise as we approach the September event.

According to Alex Fiskum, one of the co-founders of TOKEN2049, 'We’ve noticed an unprecedented amount of engagement and interest, marked by a record number of ticket registrations and a robust lineup of confirmed speakers, sponsors, and partners. We anticipate this year’s TOKEN2049 Singapore to be the most significant crypto event we’ve hosted, promising an unforgettable experience that will outshine our past gatherings in scale, variety, and enthusiasm.'

The major sponsors backing this year’s event include respected names such as OKX, Circle, Binance, DWF Labs, KuCoin, Polkadot, Fireblocks, and Klaytn, among others.

Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer at OKX, remarked, 'This is the second consecutive year we've combined TOKEN2049 with the Singapore Grand Prix, where we will debut the custom McLaren OKX livery. This event serves as an exciting kickoff to the weekend, uniting fans of crypto and F1 in a remarkable way.'
