Ripple's Swell 2026 Conference Brings Together Financial and Tech Industries
Ripple's annual conference, Swell 2026, is set to kick off on October 27 in New York City's Hudson Yards district. The event will bring together more than 1,500 attendees from the financial and tech industries for three days of discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.
This year's Swell conference marks a significant milestone as Ripple combines its traditional institutional-focused program with its developer-centric XRPL Apex conference for the first time. The event will feature over 75 speakers and more than 50 sessions across three stages, covering topics such as stablecoins, tokenization, payments, exchange-traded funds, decentralized finance, privacy, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and XRP Ledger development.
The addition of former Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan to the conference lineup is a notable highlight. As co-leader of the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet Policy task force, Rajan brings a unique perspective on monetary policy and its impact on financial markets. His session topic, timing, and format remain undisclosed.
