Last weekend Acer held a string of events in Taipei to
celebrate its 40thanniversary, which included performances, a forum, and a
fun-filled “Acer Family Day” attended by Acer’s five founders (pictured above

On Friday, September 23, under a beautiful autumn sky, Acer
hosted an evening of performances at Taipei’s Liberty Square. The event saw the
attendance of over 10,000 people, including Acer’s management team, alumni,
partners, suppliers, and members of the general public. The audience was
treated to a number of performances, including one by Taiwan’s world-renowned
Cloud Gate Dance Theater.
In between performances, a charity auction took place where
many of Acer’s partners and suppliers pledged funds for the purchase and
donation of units of Acer CloudProfessor to the “Program the World” initiative,
a Taiwan-based program that works to give underprivileged children new
opportunities through technology and education.
On the following day, Saturday, September 24, Acer held a
forum where Stan Shih, Honorary Chairman, George Huang, Chairman and Jason
Chen, President & CEO discussed the future development of Taiwan and the
ICT industry with experts from various fields. To cap off the festivities, a
special 40th anniversary “Acer Family Day” was held for Acer’s Taiwan employees
at Liberty Square, where they enjoyed food, fun and performances.
