In 2026, IMPACT turns the spotlight on your long-term business growth and sales success with two new speakers:

Ron White, two-time U.S. Memory Champion, is bringing his brain-training strategies to IMPACT26. This presentation will teach you tips and tricks to master your memory for better retention, sharper communication, and boosted sales performance.
The agent-favorite, hands-on POS Lab returns! this year with all the latest tech—including the new TableTurn POS! This is a great chance to explore real-use scenarios and ask questions directly to our product experts.
This year, attendees get access to two new, hot-topic deep dive sessions:
We’ll also cover the latest advancements and helpful sales strategies for our complete product portfolio, including Cygma®, Exatouch® POS, ProCharge®, EPI Capital, Clover®, and leading terminals.
This year’s event will introduce several new opportunities for attendees to connect, unwind, and experience Puerto Rican culture.
Here’s what makes IMPACT a must-attend in 2026:
IMPACT brings together EPI’s home office staff, tech developers, sales leaders, and hundreds of agent partners. You’ll leave with new knowledge and a stronger support system.
From new additions, like TableTurn® POS, Cygma®, and Handpoint®, to flagship tools like Exatouch® POS and ProCharge®, IMPACT is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the solutions your merchants will love.
Peer-led sessions and casual social events mean you’re learning from people who understand your challenges and are eager to share what works.
Your registration covers:
Note: Please note that the optional Golf Outing, airfare, hotel reservations, parking, and transportation are not included with registration; you’ll need to take care of booking and covering all your own travel expenses, including taxis or ridesharing from the airport.

As the event gets closer and more details are confirmed, we’ll release information via our social media channels. You’ll also get to see snapshots of past IMPACT events and learn more about what to expect from this year’s conference. Here’s where you can follow IMPACT26:
Be prepared to share your IMPACT experiences on social media, including people you’ve met, information you’ve gained, and the memories you’ve made. Your merchants will be equally excited to hear about new tech, industry updates, and new ways you’ll be able to support their businesses! Don’t forget to use #IMPACT26 in all posts and tag Electronic Payments.
Attendance at all IMPACT events is strongly recommended, but coming in ready to take as much away from the experience as you can goes a long way! Our more casual events provide excellent opportunities to connect with other agents and members of the industry that you won’t want to miss.
We make it easy to stay informed, interact with EPI staff and fellow attendees, build your personal conference agenda, and participate in polls and surveys via mobile! Our mobile app will be available in the weeks prior to the event, so stay tuned for details.
In the month leading up to IMPACT, you’ll have the chance to reserve time in the POS Lab, where you can get hands-on training, demos, intel, and sales advice from our product experts. But that’s not all! You can also pre-book dedicated meetings with the EPI management team! Keep an eye out for details on how to schedule.
On the fence about attending? Here’s what past IMPACT attendees have to say:
“You cannot get this level of knowledge on your own that we get in these different breakout sessions. Yes, it’s a quick two to three day conference, but it’s the best two to three days that you’ll ever experience.” – Lynn Soram, Soram Merchant Solutions; EPI partner since 2020 “There’s people that I only talk to on the phone. Until I started coming to IMPACT, I never met ’em. Now I can put a face with a name and they’re like an extended family.” – David Taylor, Discount Payment Processing South; EPI partner for 18+ years “Coming to IMPACT was so helpful for me because I was able to build relationships with other people in the industry. And those have been so invaluable to me… I have other people in the industry that I can bounce ideas off of, and I’ve never had that before.” – Leah Lanius, Moxie Pay “You’re meeting new people… Not viewing each other as competition, but more like partners in a bigger community … Every single agent that’s here for the first time has been like, why didn’t I come before?”– Keith Sampson, Surv Payments “If you want to be a better agent, if you wanna better serve your community and you wanna better serve your merchants, then come to IMPACT. You’ll be coming to welcome arms and you’ll be growing and becoming the best agent that you can be.” – Julia Predmore, 805 Merchant Services; EPI partner since 2022
