Token2049 officially sold out yesterday — 25,000 attendees from 160 countries incoming. 6 stages, 250 speakers, 500 exhibitors.

Side events feel quieter this year, but the main event numbers don't lie. Either everyone's consolidating around the official venue or the real alpha moved off-grid.

If you're going: focus on closed-door panels and founder dinners. The main stages are for show. The real deals happen in the hallways.
