TREE NEWS reports: THE POP-UP CITY
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
Every time an international conference season comes around, a city takes on a different rhythm of life.
Developers, founders, investors, and community members from different regions gather together within a matter of days. The daytime schedule is filled with talks, meetings, and project exchanges, while the night leaves room for conversations that haven’t yet ended to continue unfolding.
People who usually discuss across time zones can finally sit down face to face; an opinion you’ve read in an article can be put directly to the person who raised it; and an idea that isn’t yet fully formed may find a new direction through conversation.
From 19:00 to 24:00 on October 7, 2026, Tree News and Cointime will jointly present the “THE POP-UP CITY” AfterParty in Singapore.
As a Side Event during TOKEN2049 Singapore Week, this event will be held at Fate by HaveFun (Cineleisure), with Moolah and NodeX as Diamond Main Sponsors and HTX DAO as Honorary Co-organizer.
We hope to use one evening to provide a shared location for encounters during the conference season, so that conversations not yet unfolded during the day can continue here.
Create by day, gather by night.
Code the Day. Rave the Night.
A “Pop-Up City” Formed by Encounters
The name “Pop-Up City” comes from a special experience during international conference seasons.
In just a few days, people from different cities, different languages, and different professional backgrounds come to the same place because of a shared industry focus. Conference venues, hotel lobbies, cafes, and nighttime gatherings become temporary nodes of exchange, piecing together a city map that belongs to this period of time.
Everyone arrives with their own questions.
Some are looking for the next batch of users for their product, some hope to understand the real progress of a technical direction, some bring research and judgment, and others simply want to meet friends they’ve known online for a long time.
These purposes are not the same, yet they give conversation a concrete starting point.
Through “Pop-Up City,” Tree News and Cointime hope to set aside a relatively complete stretch of time for such encounters. Let guests have the chance to introduce what they are working on, and also listen carefully to what problems the other person is solving.
A temporarily formed city can begin with one evening’s gathering. And the connections built within it have the chance to continue after the conference season ends.
Leave the Daytime Topics to Continue at Night
The TOKEN2049 schedule is often packed. Just as a conversation gets going, the next session has already begun; a question worth pursuing may also be left half-finished because time is limited.
The AfterParty offers another rhythm for these conversations.
At “Pop-Up City,” you can invite peers you just met during the day and continue topics you haven’t finished discussing; you can also temporarily set aside the dense schedule and meet people who weren’t originally in your plans.
Talk about products, talk about technology, talk about market changes, and also talk about attempts and trade-offs in specific work. A problem one developer encounters may happen to be the direction another team is researching; an experience from a different market may also bring new understanding to a familiar topic.
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
This event motto expresses two sides of the same commitment: invest seriously in your work during the day, and also set aside time at night for conversation, gathering, and relaxation.
From 19:00 to midnight, you are welcome to leave this evening to Singapore, and to the conversations worth continuing.
Tree News × Cointime: Bringing Connections from Content to the Scene
For media, the industry scene is always an important source of information.
An article can present a viewpoint, an interview can sort through experience, and face-to-face exchange gives people the chance to further understand the judgment behind a viewpoint, as well as details in practice that have not yet been fully discussed.
This time, Tree News and Cointime will bring their collaboration to Singapore, hoping through “Pop-Up City” to connect industry participants from different backgrounds, so that the attention in content and real interpersonal exchange can extend into each other.
Tree News continues to follow Web3, AI, and macro finance, and also connects reading with industry participation through news, columns, and event access. Offline gatherings are a natural continuation of this work: meet people who are taking action, hear concrete problems, and then bring new understanding back into ongoing observation and exchange.
We look forward to everyone who comes joining the conversation with their own experience. Whether you are developing a product, building a community, conducting research, or exploring new directions for collaboration, you can start with one concrete exchange and find shared interests with others.
Together with Partners, Creating Space for Encounters
This “Pop-Up City” AfterParty is presented with Moolah and NodeX as Diamond Main Sponsors, and HTX DAO as Honorary Co-organizer.
Thank you to all partners for supporting this event, and for joining Tree News and Cointime in creating more possibilities for exchange during the Singapore conference season.
The preparation of an event revolves around many concrete tasks; its ultimate value comes from the people who take part. Different teams bring their own experiences, questions, and observations, giving on-site discussions more angles and giving new connections the chance to happen.
On October 7, we look forward to seeing old friends at “Pop-Up City,” and to meeting new peers.
Participation Information
Please follow the official channels of Tree News and Cointime for registration and entry arrangements.
On October 7, Leave the Next Conversation Here
After the conference season ends, people will return to different cities and continue their respective work.
But a conversation that has been seriously unfolded can leave a reason to stay in touch; a name you finally meet in person will also become more concrete because of it.
This is our expectation for “Pop-Up City”: in the brief time of gathering, let peers understand each other a little more, let topics not yet unfolded have the chance to continue, and let new connections have a starting point.
October 7, 19:00—24:00.
Singapore, Fate by HaveFun (Cineleisure).
Tree News × Cointime invites you to “Pop-Up City.”
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
