Token2049 and Other Singapore Tech Events to Attend While at NS

Token2049 is one of the largest crypto conferences in the world, held annually in Singapore, typically in September. It attracts thousands of attendees from across the Web3 ecosystem, including founders, investors, developers, and media. For NS members interested in crypto, attending Token2049 while based at Network School is a significant advantage. You get to attend the conference and its many side events without paying for Singapore accommodation, since you can commute from Forest City each day. Tickets range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the tier.

Singapore hosts numerous tech conferences throughout the year. Consensus Singapore focuses on blockchain and digital assets. TechCrunch Disrupt and Echelon cover the broader startup ecosystem. Singapore FinTech Festival is one of the world's largest fintech events. Web Summit Asia has also been expanding in the region. These events typically run for two to three days and include keynotes, panels, workshops, and extensive networking opportunities. Being based an hour from Singapore means you can attend selectively, joining for specific days rather than committing to the full event.

Beyond the big conferences, Singapore has a thriving weekly and monthly meetup scene. Ethereum Singapore, Bitcoin Singapore, AI Singapore, and various language-specific developer groups host regular events. Startup pitch nights happen weekly at various coworking spaces. These smaller events are often free and provide more intimate networking opportunities than large conferences. NS members who attend regularly build meaningful relationships with Singapore's tech community, which can lead to collaborations, hiring opportunities, and investment introductions.

If there is a specific Singapore tech event you want to attend, consider timing your Network School cohort to overlap with it. Monthly cohorts start on the 1st, so you can plan months in advance. Check event calendars for Singapore's major conferences and align your NS stay accordingly. During major conference weeks, Singapore accommodation prices spike dramatically, making the Forest City base even more valuable. You can apply at ns.com and select a cohort month that aligns with the events most relevant to your professional interests.
