Ripple adds Counting Crows to Swell 2018 line up

Counting Crows are the latest addition to the agenda of Ripple’s Swell 2018 event. Beginning with a keynote by President Bill Clinton, this will bring together over 500 experts and business leaders across payments, policy and technology.

Global banks, including Banco Santander and Siam Commercial Bank, will share how Ripple’s blockchain technology has opened up new opportunities in remittances around the world. International payments players — Cuallix IDT, InstaRem and BeeTech — end the day with sessions on topics ranging from cheaper and faster payments through RippleNet to digital asset adoption across the financial services industry.

Day two

Of note on day two, Amy Radin, author and Fortune 100 Chief Innovation Officer, Ben Braybn, Head of Level39, and Tokunboh Ishmael, Chairwoman of the African Venture Capital Association and Managing Director and Founder of Alitheia Capital, sit down to discuss how they embraced disruptive technology as part of their organisational ethos with moderator Ripple SVP of Business and Corporate Development Kahina Van Dyke.

In addition to the programme, attending customers will be able to connect directly with one another to establish new corridors and services with RippleNet. A “lightning round” session is dedicated to giving attendees the opportunity to explore these partnerships.

The Blockchain Innovator Awards will also recognise thought leaders and first-movers within RippleNet — the people and companies that are using blockchain to remove friction from global payments.

And back to Counting Crows…Ripple is throwing a special customer celebration featuring the band, on the evening of 31^st October. The event is less than a month away. For more information, visit the Swell website.
