Acer has concluded the Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2026, reinforcing its commitment to advancing education as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform how students learn and educators teach. Held in Jakarta from April 22 to 23, the summit gathered key stakeholders from across the region under the theme “Future-Ready Learning: AI, Innovation, and Human-Centered Education.”
