Ripple Swell 2026: Financial Executives to Unite with Developers in New York

Ripple Swell 2026 is gearing up to bring together financial executives, developers, and the XRP community in New York this fall. The event will take place from Oct. 27 through Oct. 29 at The Shed in Manhattan.

The conference combines Ripple's institutional Swell event with the developer-focused Apex gathering for the first time. This unified program aims to connect traditional financial institutions with developers and organizations working across the onchain economy.

Early bird pricing ends July 11, with passes listed at $1,000 before standard registration increases to $1,200. The approaching registration deadline provides an immediate update on the event's growing speaker list, which includes Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, President Monica Long, and Chief Technology Officer Emeritus David Schwartz.

The program will span payments, blockchain infrastructure, and XRP utility across multiple sessions and panels. With more than 1,500 attendees expected, at least 75 speakers, and over 50 sessions across three stages, the event promises to address commercial adoption alongside technical development.
