TOKEN2049

Broader Web3 event with prediction market speakers

Prediction Markets / Trading / Market Making / Networking
Region:
Asia-Pacific
Venue:
Private Singapore venue
Organised by:
Kalshi × Insilico Terminal
Format:
Invite-only networking evening during TOKEN2049 week

An invite-only evening bringing together active traders, market makers, founders and investors from the Kalshi and Insilico communities. Attendance requires organizer approval.

Prediction market connection: Very direct because Kalshi is the co-host and Insilico provides professional trading infrastructure supporting Kalshi products. The focus is networking rather than formal conference sessions.

Why visit: Useful for meeting actual traders, liquidity participants and institutional market participants around the Kalshi ecosystem.

Why exhibit: Not an exhibition event. Most useful through partnership, sponsorship or invited participation.

Prediction Market ThemeHigh
Category:
Social Prediction Markets / Consumer Engagement / Web3

Venue:
Singapore
Organised by:
Belief Market / Daniel Im
Format:
Consumer side event with live social prediction markets

A much smaller consumer-facing TOKEN2049 side event combining anime, crypto culture and live social opinion/prediction markets. Around 70 attendees were shown as registered when checked.

Prediction market connection: Belief Market will run live social markets as attendees choose sides and watch results move in real time. It is a useful example of prediction mechanics being applied to community engagement rather than traditional finance.

Why visit: Interesting for seeing a very different, entertainment/community-oriented implementation of prediction markets.

Why exhibit: Limited conventional exhibition value, but useful for consumer-engagement products or businesses exploring social prediction experiences.

FIA Futures & Options Expo 2026

· Chicago, Illinois, USA

Audience5/5
Prediction Market ThemeLow
Category:
Derivatives / Exchanges / Trading Infrastructure / Financial Markets
Region:
North America
Venue:
Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk
Organised by:
Futures Industry Association (FIA)
Format:
Broader cleared-derivatives industry event

FIA Expo is one of the major institutional events for the global cleared-derivatives industry, bringing together exchanges, brokers, proprietary traders, clearing firms, technology providers and regulators. Recent editions attract 5,000+ attendees and 200+ exhibitors.

Prediction market connection: This is the weakest direct PM connection on the list, but it is strategically relevant because prediction/event contracts sit inside the derivatives ecosystem. Kalshi is a confirmed Silver Sponsor for the 2026 Expo, although no dedicated PM session has been found yet in the published 2026 programme.

Why visit: Very useful for understanding how prediction markets intersect with institutional exchange technology, clearing, liquidity, surveillance, execution and financial-market regulation.

Why exhibit: Strong opportunity for a technology company targeting exchanges, brokers, market makers and institutional trading businesses. For Vinfotech specifically, it would be more relevant for exchange technology/infrastructure positioning than a pure prediction-market sales pitch.

Fiera Roma

SiGMA
Format:
Broader event with dedicated prediction market sessions

One of the largest global gaming-technology gatherings, with 30,000+ delegates, 1,200+ sponsors and exhibitors, 550 speakers and five conference stages. It combines iGaming, payments, fintech, affiliate, AI and digital-assets programming.

Prediction market connection: The published 2026 programme explicitly includes “When Betting Meets Trading: Prediction Markets and Regulatory Chaos” and another session covering crypto assets and prediction platforms. The content focuses particularly on the regulatory boundary between betting, financial products and prediction markets.

Why visit: Excellent for understanding how mainstream iGaming operators, payments businesses and regulators are reacting to prediction markets, particularly the convergence between sportsbooks and event-contract platforms.

Why exhibit: Probably the largest commercial audience in November for a B2B prediction-market technology provider. It provides access to operators already buying gaming platforms, wallets, payments, APIs and trading technology.

Ethereum Foundation (Devcon)
Format:
Broader Ethereum event with a dedicated Prediction Markets Hub

Devcon is the Ethereum Foundation's flagship global gathering for developers, researchers and teams building decentralized systems. It combines four days of technical sessions, workshops, community spaces and developer collaboration.

Prediction market connection: Devcon 8 has selected a dedicated Prediction Markets Hub, bringing together PM builders, researchers, traders and governance participants. Topics specifically include liquidity, market design, resolution, futarchy, applications, demos and technical infrastructure.

Why visit: Particularly valuable for somebody interested in the technical future of decentralized prediction markets—smart contracts, oracle/resolution systems, liquidity, market design and developer infrastructure.

Why exhibit: Very strong for technical visibility, developer partnerships and recruiting ecosystem partners. Devcon is less of a conventional commercial trade show, however; its Community Hubs are explicitly educational and marketing-light, so participation should be positioned around technology and contribution rather than aggressive selling.

Why visit: Probably one of November's most concentrated opportunities to meet companies and people who are specifically building, funding, operating or trading prediction markets.

Why exhibit: Excellent fit for Vinfotech. Unlike a large generic conference, virtually every attendee should already understand prediction markets, making it suitable for platform demos, infrastructure partnerships, operator leads and investor introductions.

Payments compliance conference with a dedicated prediction markets session
Audience size:
Specialist event; organizer does not currently publish a large attendance figure.

A specialist conference for payments compliance, legal, risk and regulatory professionals from fintech companies, banks, payment networks, PSPs and law firms. It focuses on AML/KYC, network rules, digital assets and evolving financial-services regulation.

Prediction market connection: On 5 November the programme has a dedicated session titled “Prediction Markets: Innovation, Regulation, and Compliance.” It specifically examines the legal landscape, payments considerations and implications of PM growth for financial institutions and payments companies.

Why visit: Very relevant for anyone trying to understand the difficult payments, AML/KYC and regulatory infrastructure surrounding prediction-market operations in the United States.

Why exhibit: Useful for compliance, KYC, payment and risk-management vendors. For a prediction-market platform provider it is more of a high-quality regulatory-networking opportunity than a large lead-generation exhibition.

An inaugural European summit dedicated to event-based trading and prediction markets, bringing together regulators, platforms, investors, legal specialists, technology providers and other industry participants. Day one includes a reception and day two the main conference/exhibition.

Prediction market connection: Entirely dedicated. The emphasis is particularly strong on classification, licensing, compliance, regulation, market integrity, investment and the development of prediction markets within formal regulatory structures.

Why visit: One of the better November events for understanding where European regulation of prediction/event markets may be heading, while meeting regulators, lawyers, operators and technology businesses.

Why exhibit: Its smaller scale can actually be useful for B2B providers because it creates concentrated access to senior participants. Particularly relevant for companies targeting regulated European prediction-market operators.

Venue:
Barceló Bávaro Beach
Organised by:
BlockCon Global
Format:
C-level business retreat with prediction markets as a core theme
Audience size:
Organiser publishes company/speaker scale; a firmer 2026 delegate number is still awaited before assigning a definitive 4.

A high-end business retreat bringing together banking, fintech, iGaming, Web3, venture capital and digital-market leaders. The organizer advertises 50+ speakers, 50% C-level participation, 65+ countries and 90+ companies.

Prediction market connection: Prediction Markets are explicitly listed by the organizer as one of the event's principal digital-finance areas alongside fintech, stablecoins, RWAs, iGaming and regulation. It therefore appears to be more than incidental, although it is not a dedicated PM conference.

Why visit: Strong for senior-level networking where prediction markets meet iGaming, fintech, crypto and banking, especially for LatAm and international expansion discussions.

Why exhibit: Its C-level and deal-making positioning makes it potentially useful for a B2B technology provider seeking operators, investors and financial-sector partners rather than high-volume footfall.

Categories include dedicated prediction market conferences and summits, financial markets and fintech, iGaming and gaming, regulation and legal, Web3 and digital assets, sports, media and forecasting, and other events with relevant prediction market programming.

What to Watch Across the Prediction Market Event Circuit

Prediction markets now sit at the intersection of several industries rather than belonging to a single conference category. Dedicated prediction market events are emerging, but many important conversations are still taking place within financial-market, fintech, sports-technology, gaming-technology, media and Web3 conferences.

One major area of discussion is market infrastructure. As prediction market products develop, technology teams are increasingly examining how markets are created, priced, distributed and operated at scale. APIs, order-management systems, market data, external integrations and operational controls are therefore becoming an important part of the technology conversation.

Liquidity and market quality are another recurring theme. A prediction market can only provide a useful experience when users can participate without excessive friction. Conferences increasingly bring together market operators, technology providers, liquidity specialists and infrastructure companies exploring different approaches to market depth, automated market making and external liquidity connectivity.

Artificial intelligence is also becoming increasingly relevant. AI-assisted market creation can help identify suitable questions, generate clear market rules and manage large numbers of markets. AI can also support research, evidence collection and outcome verification, while human oversight remains important for ambiguous or sensitive outcomes.

For sports-related prediction products, automation is particularly significant. Sporting calendars can involve thousands of events, making manual market creation and resolution difficult to scale. Sports-data integrations, automated market generation and event-resolution systems therefore represent an increasingly important technology layer.

Another major topic is regulation and market structure. Different jurisdictions classify prediction market products differently, and requirements may vary considerably depending on whether a product is structured around regulated event contracts, gaming, free-to-play participation or another model. Conferences provide an opportunity for technology, regulatory and operating teams to understand how these frameworks are evolving.

Finally, the industry is moving beyond standalone consumer products. Prediction market technology is being explored by sports organisations, media businesses, financial platforms and enterprises interested in forecasting, audience engagement and information aggregation.

For that reason, the most useful prediction market conference calendar increasingly extends beyond conferences carrying “prediction market” in their name. The relevant ecosystem now spans several overlapping technology and business sectors.

How We Select Events

The Prediction Market Events Calendar is intended to track significant industry events with a genuine connection to prediction markets or their underlying technology.

We include an event when it meets at least one of the following criteria:

  • The conference is specifically focused on prediction markets, event contracts or forecasting markets.
  • The programme contains a dedicated prediction market track, forum, panel or substantial discussion.
  • Prediction market operators, infrastructure companies or relevant technology providers are participating.
  • The event covers technology directly relevant to prediction markets, including market infrastructure, liquidity, financial-market technology, sports automation, AI market operations or outcome resolution.
  • The conference represents an adjacent industry in which prediction market products are becoming commercially or technologically relevant.

We do not include consumer promotions, individual sporting events, trading opportunities or promotional offers.

Event dates, locations and programme details can change. Visitors should confirm current information directly with the event organiser before making travel or attendance arrangements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a prediction market conference?

A prediction market conference is an industry event where operators, exchanges, brokers, market makers, technology providers, regulators and investors in prediction markets and event contracts meet. Some are dedicated entirely to the sector. Others are tracks, forums or panels inside larger financial-market, fintech, sports-technology, gaming, media and Web3 conferences, where prediction markets form part of a broader programme.

Why have prediction market conferences emerged as a category?

Prediction markets have moved from specialist forecasting communities into mainstream finance, media and regulatory attention. As trading volumes have grown and institutional participation has expanded, the sector has developed its own commercial, technical and regulatory questions. Dedicated conferences followed, alongside prediction market programming inside established industry events. The first large-scale summits dedicated exclusively to prediction markets launched in 2026.

Which is the largest prediction market conference?

NEXTPredict Summit NYC is the largest dedicated prediction markets event announced to date, positioned by its organiser as the first large-scale summit focused exclusively on the sector and expected to bring around 2,500 operators, investors, founders, regulators and media leaders together. Several larger gaming and financial conferences carry prediction market tracks that reach comparable audiences within a broader programme.

Where do prediction market conferences take place?

Prediction market conferences take place across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. Recurring host cities include New York, Las Vegas, Lisbon, London, Gibraltar, Singapore, Mumbai and Dubai. Vinfotech's prediction market events calendar lists events by region, date and category, and each listing links to the official event website for registration and programme details.

Are there prediction market conferences in North America?

Yes. North America hosts the largest concentration of prediction market events, with New York, Las Vegas and Toronto recurring as host cities. Programming spans financial-market infrastructure, regulatory frameworks including CFTC oversight, institutional adoption and the relationship between prediction markets and established gaming products. Both dedicated summits and prediction market tracks within larger gaming and finance conferences take place across the region.

Are there prediction market conferences in Europe?

Yes. Lisbon, London, Gibraltar and Malta recur as European host cities. European programming tends to weight toward regulation, licensing and commercial development, reflecting the varied ways different jurisdictions classify prediction market products. Events range from dedicated one-day forums to prediction market tracks inside established gaming, fintech and financial-technology conferences.

Are there prediction market conferences in Asia?

Yes. Singapore, Mumbai and Colombo recur as host cities. Asian prediction market programming more often appears as dedicated hubs and tracks within Web3, fintech and gaming-technology conferences than as standalone summits, reflecting an earlier stage of category development in the region. Dedicated prediction market summits have begun to launch across Asia-Pacific.

Are there prediction market conferences in the Middle East and Africa?

Coverage is limited compared with North America and Europe. Prediction market discussion in the region appears mainly as sessions within broader digital-asset, blockchain and gaming events, with Dubai the most common host city. Dedicated prediction market conferences in the Middle East and Africa have not yet emerged at scale.

Who attends prediction market conferences?

Attendees include prediction market operators, exchanges, brokers, market makers, liquidity providers, technology and infrastructure companies, investors, regulators, legal specialists, academic researchers and media organisations. The mix varies by event. Financially oriented conferences draw more institutional traders and regulators, while gaming-sector events draw more operators and platform providers.

What topics are discussed at prediction market conferences?

Recurring topics include event contracts and market structure, market infrastructure, liquidity and automated market making, AI-assisted market creation and outcome resolution, sports prediction technology and automation, regulatory compliance across jurisdictions, market integrity, and institutional adoption. Programmes increasingly cover how prediction market technology applies beyond standalone consumer products, including forecasting and audience engagement applications.

Which conferences focus on prediction market technology and infrastructure?

Dedicated prediction market summits generally carry the deepest technology programming, covering matching engines, automated market making, market data, APIs and operational controls. Financial-technology and Web3 conferences often address market infrastructure from a systems perspective, while gaming-technology events focus on integration, automation and operator tooling. Sessions typically examine how markets are created, priced, distributed and operated at scale.

Are there prediction market tracks inside larger industry conferences?

Yes, and many of the most substantive discussions take place this way. Financial-market, fintech, sports-technology, gaming and Web3 conferences increasingly run dedicated prediction market tracks, forums and panels. For this reason a useful prediction market conference calendar extends well beyond events carrying "prediction market" in their name.

How can I exhibit or speak at a prediction market conference?

Speaking and exhibiting arrangements are handled by each event organiser. Most dedicated summits open speaker submissions and sponsorship enquiries several months before the event, and details are published on the official event website. Vinfotech's prediction market events calendar links to the organiser site for every listed event.
