TOKEN2049 Singapore returns to Marina Bay Sands on 7–8 October 2026, with more than 25,000 attendees expected and over 1,000 side events layered around the two-day conference. For most projects, exchanges and funds, the side event is where the real conversations happen — and the venue decides whether those conversations flow or stall.
This guide covers 13 TOKEN2049 side event venues around Marina Bay and the CBD — the event spaces that suit the formats teams actually run during TOKEN2049 Week: rooftop receptions, executive dinners, panels and demo days, and after-parties. For each we list the area, capacity and indicative pricing, plus the practical detail that tends to catch teams out. Several are in our event space directory; the rest are venues we regularly work alongside. As a Singapore event studio, we can help you compare, check availability and coordinate the rest of the night.
How we picked these TOKEN2049 side event venues
- Close to Marina Bay Sands. Attendees hop between five or six events a day. Anything more than a 10-minute taxi from Bayfront loses people.
- Standing capacity of 80–400. The sweet spot for a mixer or reception. We note larger and smaller options where they exist.
- Late-night friendly. Most side events run 6pm to midnight or later, so licence hours matter.
- Room for branding and AV. A backdrop, a screen for a short keynote and a place for a registration desk.
- Clear commercial terms. Minimum spend, per-pax or hourly hire, so you can budget before you enquire.
Pricing for TOKEN2049 side event venues is indicative, before service charge and GST, and moves with your date, headcount and menu. During TOKEN2049 Week most venues quote a minimum spend rather than a room fee, and those minimums rise as the week fills up.

Rooftop receptions and mixers
Rooftops are the most requested TOKEN2049 side event venues, and the first to sell out.
CÉ LA VI SkyBar, Marina Bay Sands
The rooftop most attendees will ask about. The SkyDeck takes around 100 guests, the Club Lounge up to 400, and full buyouts are possible for larger receptions. It is inside the conference venue itself, which makes it the easiest sell on an invite. What to watch: it is also the most contested booking of the week, and evening slots come with a high minimum spend and strict timings for bump-in.
LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, Marina Bay Sands
Also on Level 57, LAVO combines a dining room, lounge and a garden terrace with its own rooftop bar for around 125 guests. Teams use it for a sunset mixer that rolls into dinner, or a full-floor party. What to watch: the terrace is weather-exposed, so agree a wet-weather plan for the indoor rooms in writing.
LeVeL33, Marina Bay Financial Centre
A penthouse microbrewery with an open terrace facing the bay and Marina Bay Sands. Full buyouts hold about 250 standing or 110 seated, and semi-private zones work well for 60–120. A strong choice for a networking night where the view does the talking. What to watch: the terrace is the draw, so confirm how much of it your headcount actually gets.
Mr Stork, Andaz Singapore
Level 39 of the Andaz, with teepee huts, 360-degree views and a standing capacity of around 200. A short taxi from Bayfront and a relaxed, less formal feel than the Marina Bay rooftops. The hotel’s function rooms downstairs also suit a daytime panel before drinks. What to watch: private bookings start from 21 guests, and the huts are booked as units, so plan the floor. See Andaz Singapore →
Kinki Rooftop, Customs House
Right on the waterfront opposite Marina Bay Sands, Kinki’s rooftop holds about 120 standing and has one of the closest views of the conference venue you can get. What to watch: private hire runs on a minimum spend of roughly S$14,000, and there is little room to grow the guest list on the night.
Executive dinners and private dining
For a seated dinner, these TOKEN2049 side event venues put the skyline behind the table rather than behind the bar.
Altro Zafferano, Ocean Financial Centre
Italian fine dining on Level 43 with a terrace, room for 100–250, and the option to split into a private room plus main dining. Four-course set menus start around $128 per guest, with a minimum spend of about $15,000++. Well suited to a seated investor or partner dinner. What to watch: confirm the terrace allocation and whether your date carries a higher minimum. See Altro Zafferano →
Artemis Grill & Sky Bar, CapitaGreen
A 40th-floor Mediterranean restaurant with private rooms that combine to seat around 40 and a full venue that takes up to 170. Menus start from about $138 per guest. Good for a curated 30–40 pax founder or LP dinner with a skyline backdrop. What to watch: the private rooms book out first during conference weeks. See Artemis →
VUE, OUE Bayfront
Steak and seafood on Level 19 with the bay directly in front of you, flexible from 12 to 150 guests and menus from around $130 per guest. A polished setting for a smaller dinner that still needs a wow factor. What to watch: the best tables face the bay, so ask about the floor plan for your group size. See VUE →
ATLAS Bar, Parkview Square
The Art Deco grand lobby with the gin tower. Spaces range from The Nook for a dozen guests up to a full takeover for 300. It photographs beautifully and works for a cocktail reception with canapés rather than a seated dinner. What to watch: Bugis is a 10-minute drive from Bayfront, so schedule it away from the last conference session. See ATLAS Bar →
Panels, workshops and demo days
Not every TOKEN2049 side event venue needs a view. A panel or demo day needs a screen, seating, reliable Wi-Fi and a quiet room.
Marina Bay Sands function rooms
If your side event is a half-day summit or a panel series, staying inside the conference complex removes the travel problem entirely. Room sizes vary widely, and packages start from around $198 per guest with in-house AV and catering. What to watch: during TOKEN2049 the hotel’s meeting space is heavily booked, so lead times are long and terms are firm. See Marina Bay Sands →
The Gallery Room and The Studio Loft, Paya Lebar
Our own spaces, about 15 minutes from Bayfront by MRT. The Gallery Room seats 60 or takes 80 for cocktails with feature lighting, a bar area and a green room, from $120 per hour. The Studio Loft is a bright 40-seat theatre or 24-pax workshop space with full AV built in, from $80 per hour. Both suit community meetups, developer workshops and demo days where the budget should go into the programme rather than the postcode. What to watch: they are hourly spaces, so block the setup and teardown time you need.
Large parties and after-parties
The biggest TOKEN2049 side event venues are the clubs and halls that can hold a headline party without a queue around the block.
CHIJMES Hall, City Hall
A former chapel with soaring ceilings, holding 50–300 guests with packages from around $95 per guest. It takes branding, staging and lighting well and is a five-minute drive from Marina Bay Sands. What to watch: it is a heritage building, so rigging and noise have rules you should read before designing the show. See CHIJMES Hall →
Marquee Singapore, Marina Bay Sands
Singapore’s largest nightclub, three storeys inside The Shoppes with a capacity around 1,800, a Ferris wheel and a full production rig. It is the default for a headline after-party. What to watch: buyouts are quoted as a package, and Zouk’s Capital at Clarke Quay (about 540 pax) is the usual alternative if Marquee is gone for your night.
Booking a side event from overseas
Most TOKEN2049 side events are organised by teams that are not based in Singapore, and booking TOKEN2049 side event venues from abroad throws up the same problems every year.
- Time zones. Venue events teams reply during Singapore office hours. A question sent from New York on Monday afternoon is answered on Wednesday, and the slot may be gone.
- Deposits and payment. Many venues want a deposit within days of holding a date, and paying from a foreign entity can take longer than the hold lasts.
- Vendor coordination. A typical reception needs the venue, catering or F&B upgrades, AV, a photographer, registration staff and branding. That is five or six suppliers on different quotes and timelines.
- Headcount swings. Luma RSVPs run far above turnout for free events and below it for popular ones. Agree the guaranteed number and the top-up rate before you sign.
- Licensing and late hours. Extending past a venue’s usual closing time, or adding a DJ, can need permits that take weeks.
Working through a local coordinator collapses that list into one contact who can hold dates, pay deposits, brief suppliers and be on site on the night. If that is useful, tell us what you are planning and we will show you what a coordinated side event includes.
Beyond the venue
Whichever TOKEN2049 side event venue you choose, the room is only part of it. A side event that people remember usually has a registration desk that keeps the queue short, branding that reads on camera, a screen and mic that work first time, and something worth posting. We have run more than 1,200 events since 2017, and can add sound, lighting and LED screens, a photo booth for social reach, event photography, styling and catering coordination where the venue allows it. We can also hold two or three venue options while your headcount settles, so you are not choosing under pressure.
Tips for booking TOKEN2049 side event venues
- Move early. The best TOKEN2049 side event venues for 7 and 8 October are usually held by mid-August. Six to eight weeks out is the latest comfortable window.
- Check the calendar. Look at the TOKEN2049 side events listings on Luma before fixing a time, and avoid clashing with the headline summits in your own sector.
- Ask what the minimum spend includes. Drinks packages, canapés, AV and staffing are all treated differently by different venues.
- Plan the flow. Registration near the entrance, bars at the far end, and a stage or screen that does not block the route between them.
- Have a wet-weather plan. October is not the wettest month, but every rooftop on this list has an indoor fallback you should confirm in writing.
- Brief the venue on your audience. Crypto crowds arrive late, stay late and drink less than a corporate D&D. That changes how a venue prices you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a TOKEN2049 side event venue cost in Singapore?
Most receptions land between S$80 and S$150 per guest all-in once F&B, AV and staffing are counted, and seated dinners run higher. Rooftops and clubs quote a minimum spend rather than a room fee. The table above gives indicative figures; always get a current quote for your date and headcount.
How far ahead should I book for TOKEN2049 Week?
Six to eight weeks is the practical minimum for a good TOKEN2049 side event venue on the two conference days. Workshops and meetups in flexible spaces can be arranged closer to the date.
Which areas are best for TOKEN2049 side event venues?
Marina Bay and the CBD keep you within a short walk or taxi of Marina Bay Sands. Bugis, City Hall and Clarke Quay are 5–10 minutes away and often better value. Anywhere further needs a strong reason for guests to make the trip.
Can Functions.sg source the venue and run the night for us?
Yes. We source and hold venue options, negotiate the terms, coordinate catering, AV, photography and styling, and staff the event on the night with our own attendants. You get one contact in Singapore time. Send us an enquiry with your date, format and rough headcount.
What size venue do I need for a 150-pax mixer?
Aim for a standing capacity of 200–250 so guests have room to move between groups. Among the TOKEN2049 side event venues in this guide, LeVeL33, LAVO, Mr Stork and CÉ LA VI all fit that range.
