Acer Day was first introduced in 2017 to celebrate the brand’s achievements with customers. This year, Acer is bringing the celebration online due to public health concerns during the pandemic. In line with the ‘Live Your World’ theme, Acer collaborated with six young and vibrant singers virtually to produce the special song of the theme title. Singing for the Philippines is the Pop Royalty Sarah Geronimo. She is joined by five other singers namely Aina Abdul from Malaysia, Earth Patravee from Thailand, Prince from Indonesia, GBOYSWAG from Taiwan, and VP Ba Vuong from Vietnam.

“Most of us are encouraged to stay home and reduce social activities. However, we want to tell all our fans that staying at home does not mean you have to be alone. The Acer Day theme of ‘Live Your World’ this year draws inspiration from the belief that all of us can make the best of any situation and continue to live our lives, no matter where we are and what constraints we are under. Technology has broken barriers and enabled people to stay connected even more. We believe music is the best medium to transcend borders and circumstances, that’s why we invited the artists to create a special song -Live Your World,” said Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific Operations.

Acer has prepared a series of performances and activities that will go live at 8:00PM PST on August 7, 2021 as a platform for everyone to connect simultaneously this year. The event can be viewed together by all at Acer Facebook.
