How it works

The Ripple is a one-of-a-kind initiative to put your online networking into hyperdrive and to build meaningful relationships. After five wildly successful editions, The Ripple has become the gold standard for online networking.

If LinkedIn, Zoom and Calendly had a baby they would call it - Conversation Starter (learn more here). It works like magic: Its cutting-edge recommendation engine screens the requests and offers of all attendees, finds the most relevant ones for each user, and seamlessly schedules 12-minute video calls on their integrated web tool.
