The Swell by Ripple event, taking place in San Francisco, will continue today, October 2nd, and will begin at 7 am (UTC). President Bill Clinton is the keynote speaker for the event, scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., immediately following an opening speech from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
The Ripple team offers the program for today's event:
After the speakers take the stage, you will meet in person some of the biggest names in payments and technology, including: Ed Metzger of Banco Santander, Tokunbo Ishmael of Aitheia Capital, Sunil Sabarwal of the IMF, Colin Dinn of Siam Commercial Bank, and R.J. Pittman, former Chief Innovation Officer eBay.
The recent jump in the price of XRP in the markets was caused by the news of the planned launch of xRapid in October. Since it's already October, many people are confident that the Swell event will be where the xRapid announcement will be made. The day before yesterday, @BankXRP tweeted:
Swell, hosted by Ripple, will bring together the world's leading experts in politics, finance and technology for the most provocative dialogue on global payments. The event will take place in San Francisco on October 1-2, with President Bill Clinton as the main guest.
You can find all the information on where to watch the event on Ripple's social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
