At the 11th edition of Acer Middle East’s ‘Partner Week’, regional partners were invited to experience the latest suite of products from its ConceptD range including the ConceptD 9 and ConceptD 3 which were presented in the Middle East for the first time.

 

Acer’s EMEA President, Emmanuel Fromont, EMEA Education lead, Cristina Pez, and Acer Middle East Management team welcomed regional partners from around the region including distributors, retailers, commercial partners, education partners, IT industry partners and many more. The four day event saw over 50 meetings held with partners to share business updates, discuss market trends, exchange ideas and discuss the outlooks for a successful 2020. 

 

Paul Collins, MEA General Manager at Acer said, “I couldn’t be happier with the successful 11th Acer Partner Week at Emirates Towers during GITEX 2019. The fruitful meetings with over 50 partners from more than 10 territories shows the mutual commitment between Acer, our major retailers, distributors, service providers and international partners, and indicates that Acer is strongly positioned for an even better year in 2020. The overall consensus is that our product range, including Predator, ConceptD, Monitors and our Industry leading “thin and light” collection will provide many opportunities for growth next year.”

 

Joumana Karam, Product & Marketing Head for Acer Middle East said, “Our goal is to provide outstanding products to different users that meet their needs by combining the latest technologies available and our own R&D strengths in innovation & Thermal-cooling technology. I was excited to see the reactions of the partners when trying our new ultra-thin products swift 5 & swift 7 as well as experiencing the amazing color accuracy in our ConceptD range.”
