50. ACI (Financial Markets Association) World Congress May 25, 2011

Celebrating Past – Hungry for Future

It was in 2005 when we celebrated the 50th birthday of ACI – the Financial Markets Association – Paris, with great success.

Now we are preparing to host the 50th ACI World Congress in 2011 in Budapest, Hungary where we would like to invite you. The anniversary event would give us a good opportunity to look back a bit, remember the “good old days” and also to see what the future holds as it is the topic of our congress.

The technology has gone through a tremendous change from the telephone to the internet, from the very few to the masses but the center of the activity has not changed: the dealer. This is and always has been a unique and outstanding person from the world of banking but in a way they are the same all around the world! The main purpose of the Congress is to keep alive the human touch in this industry as the most important aspect!

We would like to bring back memories from the past and relive the times and the developments of the last 50 congresses. This will happen in a place where also a lot of changes occurred during this period and will stand in the door of a new era.

Some fall in love with the city at first sight, others are won only as a result of a longer period of discovery; but all agree that it is one of the most beautiful locations of the world. This metropolis bisected by the Danube with the hills and valleys on the Buda side and the flat, low-lying Pest on the other is the only capital where there are more than 130 thermal springs. The riverside panorama as well as the Andrássy boulevard have been declared a World Heritage site by the UNESCO. Everybody who has ever seen them illuminated by night will understand why.
