Prediction markets finally get their own room in Singapore. The Odds: Prediction Markets Summit lands at Suntec Convention Centre on 8 October, 14:00 to 20:00, during TOKEN2049 week, produced by More & More — the team behind curated executive gatherings — with roughly 400 selected attendees, fifty-plus speakers, and three stages devoted entirely to betting on the future, formally known as forecasting.
Why a dedicated summit, why now
Prediction markets spent years as a crypto curiosity, then election cycles and sports volumes turned them into genuine financial infrastructure almost overnight. The category now spans information markets, resolution mechanics, and on-chain forecasting — each carrying unsolved problems in regulation, oracle design, and liquidity that deserve focused argument rather than a single panel slot.
Scale is the pitch. TOKEN2049 draws tens of thousands to Singapore, and The Odds positions itself for what it calls the most relevant one percent of that crowd. Curation cuts noise: with 400 people who all build in, fund, or regulate the category, even the coffee lines become qualified introductions. The FAQ puts it bluntly — quality of conversation over volume.
The attendee mix the organizers describe reads like a category map in itself: institutions, exchanges, market makers, oracles, data providers, VCs, AI companies, and the compliance teams now circling prediction markets everywhere. Suntec Convention Centre helps too — a downtown hub minutes from Marina Bay Sands and the central business district, so the room stays connected to the rest of TOKEN2049 week without being swallowed by it.
Three stages, three constituencies
The Institutional Stage handles adoption, market structure, exchanges, regulation, and finance — the questions traditional institutions ask before touching anything. The AI & Agents Stage covers automated forecasting, agentic systems, and autonomous decision layers, a natural pairing given how much machine-driven flow prediction markets already attract.
The Builder & Infrastructure Stage carries product demos, developer sessions, workshops, and startup presentations. A companion Builder Program runs pre-event sessions, mentorship, partner challenges, and a live showcase, with selected teams presenting on stage — a real pathway for early companies rather than another logo wall.
The company kept
The organizers list an ambitious orbit of companies participating in The Odds conferences: J.P. Morgan, Citi, Mastercard, Coinbase, Circle, Polymarket, OKX, Bybit, Fireblocks, and TRM Labs among them. Treat that as directional — participation spans editions and formats — but the breadth signals how far the category reaches, from bank compliance desks to on-chain order books.
Named speakers for Singapore weren't published yet at writing, and nominations stay open through the site. Previous editions drew operators, founders, and institutions from across the space, with the FAQ confirming the 2026 roster is being curated now.
Getting through the door
Attendance is application-based, with a waitlist rather than open ticketing — plan ahead and apply early, because curation takes time and TOKEN2049 week calendars fill months out. Partners get private meeting rooms and an exhibition zone, which tells you deals are meant to happen on-site, not in follow-up emails.
Note the independence: this is a More & More production held during TOKEN2049 week, not an official TOKEN2049 event. That's standard practice in the side-event economy, but worth knowing when budgeting your calendar — and when deciding which badge actually gets you into which conversations.
