Crypto exchange and Web3 technology company OKX today announced its title sponsorship of TOKEN2049 – one the world’s biggest Web3 and crypto conferences.
It has also been revealed that, among a slew of headline speakers for the September event, OKX President Hong Fang, Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique, and Global Chief Commercial Officer Lennix Lai will speak at the conference.
Two prominent OKX Ambassadors, Daniel Ricciardo, Scuderia AlphaTauri Formula One driver, and Scotty James, Olympic snowboarder, will join a TOKEN2049 ‘fireside chat‘ with Haider Rafique on the first day of the conference.
The event, which takes place on September 13 and 14, is set to attract more than 10,000 visitors.
“TOKEN2049 Singapore is an excellent opportunity for the industry to come together and advocate for making crypto ever more accessible to those who will benefit from it most,” said Hong Fang.
“As we move from trust-based systems to trustless ones, this conference will be an important (and fun) way to share our vision for how we will jumpstart further adoption in Asia and beyond.”
Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique added: “This is the second year for us to combine TOKEN2049 and Singapore Grand Prix. The event is a great starter to the weekend and will bring crypto and F1 fans together in a big way.
“This year has been about helping people see the future of Web3 through our latest “rewrite the system” campaign and Singapore will be a prime venue for us to amplify our efforts. Danny, Scotty and I might even have a surprise for attendees during our fireside chat.”
Lennix Lai, OKX’s Global Chief Commercial Officer said: “Singapore is the perfect place to bring together a diverse group of Web3 innovators for TOKEN2049 – all of whom are playing an important role in building the foundation for the industry’s further growth.
“I’m looking forward to discussing how the regulatory landscape is evolving in the region, and contributing to discussions about how Web3 companies can build trust with users and regulators alike by emphasizing transparency, security and compliance.”
