ACI Worldwide

The challenge

To create two, simultaneous, events for invited leaders within the payment industry to unveil the Global launch of the next generation of ACI’s consumer payments solution, UP BASE24-eps.

The solution

We worked with ACI to design, plan and execute their events, which marked a big day in the European payments industry as they unveiled their solution for helping to make commerce easier. We united industry leaders and created events in two incredible locations: London, at the St Martins Lane Hotel and Times Square in New York City.

The result

Phil Heasley, ACI Worldwide’s CEO featured as a speaker and Forbes Media CEO Steve Forbes headlined, with the event coinciding with Phil ringing the NASDAQ opening bell. The event was a success and gained publicity worldwide, with their annual report stating that, following the launch of UP BASE24-eps, “Industry response has been impressive; we are seeing customer use cases beyond our original expectations.”

The testimonial

“The event was seamless in design, planning and execution and has since become a highlight of ACI Worldwide events calendar. We work with emc3 on events ranging from small ones such as this up to 18,000+ multi-day conferences and they always maintain the same exacting standards of execution and client focussed service.”​ —Claudio Gutierrez, President of CG Creative
