Chapter Four / SPONSORSHIP 55<br />
In order to be in line with <strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong>’s sustainable philosophy, Acer powered the Games with<br />
its innovative eco-friendly computers. Its Veriton L670G desktops deliver various benefits, such<br />
as reduced space, low weight and energy consumption savings, which allowed LOCOG to have a<br />
reduced environmental impact during the Games.<br />
Acer Internet Lounges<br />
For the <strong>London</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> Games, Acer created four Internet Lounges for both media and<br />
athletes, located in the three Athletes’ Villages and the Main Press Centre.<br />
Acer Internet Cafés were open 24 hours a day during the Games and provided 200 fully-equipped<br />
stations with broadband Internet access, communication and social networking environments,<br />
keeping athletes and journalists up to date with the things that mattered the most and in touch<br />
with their friends and family. Acer’s on-site support staff and service technicians also provided<br />
customer support.<br />
Acer also offered a special stage to athletes allowing them to share their “Beyond Limits” moments<br />
with Acer Facebook fans. More than 290 athletes participated in this initiative.<br />
Acer Sport and Technology Showcase<br />
Acer engaged with <strong>Olympic</strong> Park visitors through the Acer Journey Pavilion, offering a two-storey<br />
interactive experience showcasing the best of Acer.<br />
Thanks to an innovative animated LCD screen, Acer reached an estimated 1.2 million visitors in the<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Park with product and brand messages, while offering an immersive 20-minute journey<br />
through technology and products to thousands of people.<br />
The visitors’ journey included a mixed reality theatre explaining the role of Acer as a Worldwide<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Partner, as well as interactive challenges such as the Fast, Faster, Fastest Arena.
