Swell - Designing Ripple's first own conference

During my time at Ripple I worked on several events. Here is one example for an event we did during Sibos 2017 in Toronto.
With Swell we created a conference that was running parallel to Sibos 2017 in Toronto. The goal was to tap into the banker conference and attract potential partners to an event space where they could experience Ripple without the old fashioned conference vibes of Sibos.

Exclusive spaces for private meetings

Dedicated meeting rooms gave our salespeople more space and a better ambiance to talk to potential customers than they would have had on the floor during Sibos.

Talk, connect, and stay

To facilitate casual meetings, we designed a stylish lounge area. Drawing inspiration from the conference elements, we blended them with a speak-easy vibe, creating an ambiance that encouraged engaging conversations and relaxed interactions.
