Preparing for a Blockchain Conference

TOKEN2049 and similar events require advance planning. Tickets, speaker schedules and side events fill up quickly. Here's how to approach your preparation.

  1. Research the Speaker Lineup

    Check which founders, protocol leads and executives are confirmed. Identify panels and talks relevant to your sector—DeFi, infrastructure, gaming, regulation. Build a shortlist of sessions before the event opens.

  2. Map the Side Event Schedule

    Major editions generate hundreds of parallel events: product demos, investor meetups, community gatherings. Side events often require separate RSVPs. Track them through event aggregators and social channels as they're announced.

  3. Understand Ticket Tiers and Timing

    TOKEN2049 tickets are sold on the official website with super early bird pricing for those who commit early. Prices rise as the event approaches. Payment is accepted by credit card or crypto via MoonPay Commerce. Check the organizer's site for current tiers and availability.

  4. Plan Your Schedule and Networking Goals

    With 300+ speakers and concurrent tracks, you won't attend everything. Prioritize based on your goals—learning, fundraising, hiring, partnerships. Book meetings in advance and leave gaps for spontaneous conversations.
