Exclusive invitation — Free tickets for investors, builders & XRPL community
A curated summit: strategic investor panels, enterprise case studies, and hands-on technical workshops — all centered on practical adoption of XRP and the XRP Ledger.

The Vision
A conference shaping the next chapter for payments and liquidity with XRP

What we emphasize
- Real-world payment rails and settlement flows
- Enterprise pilots and compliance-ready integrations
- Investor diligence — yield, liquidity & risk frameworks
- Developer tooling, security and scaling on XRPL
