Former US President Bill Clinton Set to Keynote Ripple Conference😎

The annual Swell by Ripple conference invites global leaders from the policy, payments, and technology fields to come together and discuss how blockchain can be used to benefit society at large. According to a tweet from Ripple, former U.S. President Bill Clinton is set to keynote this year’s edition.

Ripple noted in a news release that President Clinton “helped usher in a period of extreme growth and adoption of the Internet” and established programs that brought new technology to communities around the world to help bridge the “digital divide.”
This year’s Swell conference is scheduled for Oct. 1 and will be held in Ripple’s native San Francisco, CA.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from from financial services companies who are using blockchain technology, learn about new market opportunities in “remittances, e-commerce, and corporate marketplaces,” and understand different frameworks for regulating virtual assets.

Sessions include “Flashtalk: How to Launch A Payments App For Millions”, where Ripple customers “share what it took to launch the first mobile application,” “Central Banks Show and Tell,” where bankers “share their experiences with blockchain,” and the “800 Pound Gorilla,” where “experts answer the big questions around adoption of digital assets.”
