From May 7 to 8, 2025, Acer held its first Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2025 at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel.  To promote a better understanding of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization in education, representatives from the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan convened the summit, which had as its theme “Shaping Tomorrow: AI and Digital Technologies in Education.”

The digitalization of learning, amplified by the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is transforming education through revolutionary learning experiences. 

Teachers, legislators, and tech leaders used the summit as a forum to exchange useful ideas on incorporating state-of-the-art technology into the classroom, encouraging digital literacy, and preparing children for a future driven by technology.  It also emphasized how Acer's ecosystem of EdTech breakthroughs, digital education solutions, and AI-powered gadgets can improve student engagement, expedite administrative duties, and support instructional approaches.

Aopen, SpatialLabs, and Predator Gaming demonstrated how esport may be used in an educational context, while interactive booths from Intel, Windows, and Google were among the event's main features.  Additionally, Altos showcased its most recent developments in AI server technology, demonstrating robust solutions designed to satisfy the growing requirements of large-scale model training and generative AI.
