The official agenda lists registration and breakfast from 7:30am to 9:00am, with the welcome on the main stage at 9:00\. Take the MRT to Bayfront and walk through the underground link. Carry your ticket QR, a power bank, water and an umbrella, and have your own data line. **Key takeaways** - **Registration and breakfast run 7:30am to 9:00am** on 7 October, per the official agenda. Arrive early if you want the 9:00 opening. - **Bayfront MRT links underground to Marina Bay Sands.** Exit D is signed for the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, so you stay out of the heat and rain. - **October is hot and stormy.** The mean daily high is about 31.8°C, with afternoon and early evening thunderstorms. - **Pick three sessions you must see.** Everything else is a bonus on a five-floor venue. - **Do not rely on venue Wi-Fi.** Crowds and concrete strain signal. Bring your own data and a backup line. Day 1 is the busiest morning of TOKEN2049 week. Around 25,000 people are expected across five floors of Marina Bay Sands, the organiser says, and a lot of them want the same coffee, the same lift and the same keynote seat at the same time. This guide covers what you can control: when to arrive, how to get in, what to carry, how to handle the heat and rain, where to eat, and how to stay online from the first session to the last side event. ## What time does TOKEN2049 registration open on day 1? The official agenda lists **Registration and Continental Breakfast from 7:30am to 9:00am** on Wednesday 7 October 2026\. The welcome on the OKX Main Stage is at 9:00am, and sessions run in parallel on several stages through the day. As of 22 September 2026, the TOKEN2049 website does not publish separate badge collection times or locations. Watch your inbox for the organiser's pre-event email and check the [official Singapore page](https://www.token2049.com/singapore?ref=blog.fizen.io) the week before. Do not trust badge or ticket offers sent by strangers. | Time (7 Oct) | What happens | What you do | | -------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Before 7:30am | You travel in | Leave early, charge phone to 100% | | 7:30 to 9:00am | Registration and breakfast | Get your badge, eat, find your first stage | | 9:00am | Welcome, OKX Main Stage | Be seated if the opening matters to you | | Midday | Peak crowds, lunch queues | Eat early or late, recharge | | Afternoon | Thunderstorm risk outside | Stay indoors, confirm tonight's plans | | Evening | Side events across the city | Check approvals and routes before you leave | ## How do I get to TOKEN2049 at Marina Bay Sands? The venue address is **10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956**. The easiest way in is the MRT. 1. Take the **Downtown Line or Circle Line to Bayfront** station. 2. Follow the underground exits to Marina Bay Sands. **Exit D** is signed for The Shoppes and the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, and connects at Basement 2M. 3. Tap in and out with the same contactless card or phone wallet. Singapore's LTA accepts bank cards and wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay on public transport. If you take a taxi, add time. LTA has road closures around Marina Centre and the Padang, across the bay, from 12.01am on 7 October for the Grand Prix, and it strongly encourages public transport that week. LTA keeps the Republic Boulevard, Raffles Avenue and Bayfront Avenue route towards Marina Boulevard open from 5.30am to 10.00am on 7 and 8 October. ![Bayfront MRT station in Singapore, the stop for Marina Bay Sands](https://storage.ghost.io/c/04/ee/04eee3a6-7d95-474c-80a5-48f84338363b/content/images/2026/09/sg_bayfront_mrt-1.jpg) Bayfront MRT connects underground to Marina Bay Sands.

Never your main wallet. Pick your **three must-see sessions** the night before from the agenda and note the stage for each. With several stages running at once, you will not see everything, and that is fine. ## How hot is Singapore in October, and will it rain? Hot and humid, with storms. Singapore's weather service puts October's mean daily maximum at about **31.8°C**, and describes the October to November inter-monsoon period as having thunderstorms, at times severe, in the afternoon and early evening. Singapore's Ministry of Health advice for heat is simple: light, loose clothes, drink fluids, take breaks and cut time outdoors in the hottest part of the day. On day 1 that means staying in the underground links and indoor walkways, and planning evening moves around the storm window. ## Where can I eat near TOKEN2049 at Marina Bay Sands? Conference lunch queues peak at midday. Two easy options nearby: - **Rasapura Masters**, the food court at The Shoppes, Basement 2 (Canal Level), 2 Bayfront Avenue. The operator lists some stalls, such as drinks, bak kut teh and ban mian, as open 24 hours. Good for a fast, cheap meal without leaving the building. - **Lau Pa Sat**, 18 Raffles Quay in the CBD, a hawker centre open 24 hours. Its **Satay Street** opens from 7pm on weekdays, so it works for a post-conference dinner on Wednesday. Payment options vary by stall. ![Lau Pa Sat hawker centre in Singapore's CBD](https://storage.ghost.io/c/04/ee/04eee3a6-7d95-474c-80a5-48f84338363b/content/images/2026/09/sg_laupasat.jpg) Lau Pa Sat: Satay Street opens at 7pm on weekdays.

Five floors, thousands of phones and a lot of concrete. Two things work against you. Crowds: when many people try to message, stream and upload at the same time, a shared network can be overwhelmed. Buildings: concrete, steel and glass weaken mobile signal. An industry explainer on stadium coverage also notes that phones struggling for signal raise their power and drain the battery faster. We have no data on this venue's Wi-Fi, so treat it as a risk, not a certainty. What helps: - Have **your own data line**, not only venue Wi-Fi. For key calls or livestreams, see [is venue Wi-Fi enough at TOKEN2049](https://blog.fizen.io/token2049-venue-wifi-backup/). - If data stalls, move nearer a window or to an escalator hall, or toggle flight mode. - Keep a **second eSIM** installed so you can switch lines in Settings if the first has a problem. If it will not connect at all, follow [eSIM not working in Singapore: fixes](https://blog.fizen.io/esim-not-activating-singapore/). - Download the agenda and your QR codes so you are not waiting on a page load at the door. If you still need data for the week, the [TOKEN2049 eSIM pack on 2049esim.com](https://link.fizen.io/s/zI0uEolowY?ref=blog.fizen.io) has unlimited data in Singapore and Malaysia at up to 10 Mbps, and ships a second eSIM in the same order that you can turn on if the first one has a problem or runs out. It is best bought and installed on Wi-Fi before you fly, about 4 minutes, so read this before you pack. 2049esim is powered by Fizen, a self-custody USDT app that Tether invested in. ## What should I do after day 1 ends? - **Check approvals before you leave the venue.** Search your inbox for side event confirmations, then route each one. Our [TOKEN2049 side events planning guide](https://blog.fizen.io/token2049-side-events-planning/) shows how. - **Recharge.** Phone, power bank, and you. - **Follow up the same night.** A short message to each person you met while you still remember the conversation. - **Ignore surprise DMs** offering tickets, tokens or "exclusive" access. Pay only on official websites, never to someone in a DM. - **Plan day 2 now**, so tomorrow's morning is calmer than today's. Just landed and not set up yet?
