TREE NEWS reports: THE POP-UP CITY
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
Every time an international conference week comes around, a city takes on a different rhythm of life.
Developers, founders, investors, and community members from different regions gather together within a few days. The daytime schedule is filled with talks, meetings, and project exchanges, while the night leaves room for conversations that have not yet finished.
People who usually discuss across time zones can finally sit down face to face; an opinion you have read in an article can be questioned directly to the person who raised it; and an idea that is not 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 Title Sponsors and HTX DAO as Honorary Co-organizer.
We hope to use one evening to provide a shared place for encounters during the conference week, 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 weeks.
In just a few days, people from different cities, different languages, and different professional backgrounds come to the same place because of an industry they all care about. Conference venues, hotel lobbies, cafes, and nighttime gatherings become temporary nodes of exchange and piece 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 a 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 have known online for a long time.
These purposes are not the same, yet they give conversation a concrete starting point.
Tree News and Cointime hope to use “Pop-Up City” 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 of gathering. And the connections built within it have the chance to continue after the conference week ends.
Leave the Daytime Topics to Continue at Night
The TOKEN2049 schedule is often tight. Just as a conversation gets going, the next session is already starting; a question worth pursuing may also be left halfway 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 that were not finished; you can also temporarily set aside the dense schedule and meet people who were not originally in your plans.
Talk about products, technology, market changes, and also specific attempts and trade-offs in your work. A problem one developer encounters may be exactly the direction another team is researching; experience from a different market may also bring new understanding to a familiar topic.
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
This event slogan expresses two sides of the same commitment: engage seriously in your work during the day, and also leave time at night for conversation, gathering, and relaxation.
From 19:00 to midnight, you are welcome to give this evening to Singapore, and to the conversations worth continuing.
Tree News × Cointime: Bringing Connections from Content to the Venue
For media, the industry venue is always an important source of information.
An article can present a viewpoint, an interview can sort out experience, while face-to-face conversation 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 are bringing their collaboration to Singapore, hoping that through “Pop-Up City,” they can connect industry participants from different backgrounds, allowing the attention in content and real interpersonal exchange to 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 hope everyone who comes can join 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.
Creating Space for Encounters Together with Partners
This “Pop-Up City” AfterParty is presented with Moolah and NodeX as Diamond Title Sponsors, and HTX DAO as Honorary Co-organizer.
Thank you to all partners for supporting this event, and for creating more possibilities for exchange during Singapore conference week together with Tree News and Cointime.
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 experience, questions, and observations, giving on-site discussions more angles and creating opportunities for new connections to happen.
On October 7, we look forward to seeing old friends at “Pop-Up City” and meeting new peers as well.
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 week ends, people will return to different cities and continue their own work.
But a conversation that unfolds seriously 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”: within the time of a brief gathering, let peers understand each other a little more, give topics not yet unfolded a chance to continue, and give new connections a starting point.
October 7, 19:00—24:00.
Singapore, Fate by HaveFun (Cineleisure).
Tree News × Cointime invites you to come to “Pop-Up City.”
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
