From hotel operations to learning leadership to the DevLearn expo floor, Schoox demonstrates how L&D leaders can create training that drives business performance.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Schoox, the Intelligent Learning & Growth Platform for frontline enterprises, today announced it will work with learning leaders at four events in November. They include the Workforce Management in Hotels and Hospitality Summit in Dallas, Learning Leadership in Las Vegas, DevLearn in Las Vegas and a Training Industry Webinar focused on proving the value of L&D. The shared challenge: becoming a skills-based learning organization that leverages training to improve business performance.

Learning leaders are often asked to prove the return on training after a program has launched. Engineering training to achieve a business outcome reverses that order: name the result first, then design the learning to deliver it.

Learning leaders can now set the business target with operational leaders, identify the skills required to improve performance, build the program to achieve it, and forecast the expected return before the program launches.

"Skills matter to a CFO only when they connect to a metric the business is working to improve," said Sandra Moran, Chief Marketing Officer at Schoox. "Most learning teams know they need to become skills-based. What they lack is a starting point, and generating the link between skills and the metrics training should improve gives them one."

Workforce Management in Hotels and Hospitality Summit 2026

November 2â4 | Renaissance Dallas Hotel, Dallas, Texas

On Tuesday, November 3, from 2:25 to 2:55 p.m. CT, Erica Chenette, Learning & Talent Development Leader, Hospitality, Retail & Franchise Systems, will present along with Kate Lukach, head of customer marketing at Schoox. Their session, "Growing Fast Without Losing the Guest Experience: Lessons from the Front Lines of Hospitality Growth," draws on new frontline workforce research. Leaders will leave with ways to use onboarding to improve retention, build skills-based career paths, and keep brand standards consistent across managed, franchise, and multi-brand properties.

Learning Leadership 2026 with Sysco and Schoox

November 2â3 | MGM Grand, Las Vegas

Learning Leadership is a Learning Guild forum for approximately 300 leaders who steer learning strategy. On Tuesday, November 3, from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. PT, Schoox and Sysco will present "How Sysco Is Using AI and Skills Data to Ensure L&D's Business Impact." The session will discuss how to link skills to business drivers instead of completion rates. At kiosk LL24, attendees can book a 15-minute Skills Mapping Session for L&D Leaders. Attendees bring a role, and Schoox maps the skills behind that role's performance outcomes, generates the training plan and content to achieve it.

November 4â6 | MGM Grand, Las Vegas

DevLearn, in its 22nd year, is described by The Learning Guild as America's largest learning technologies event. Schoox exhibits at booth #303 and will make a solution announcement there. Attendees can book the same 15-minute skills mapping session at the booth.

Training Industry Webinar with The Fresh Market and Schoox

November 5, 2026 - 2:00-2:45pm ET | Industry Webinar

In this Training Industry webinar titled, "Stop Reporting Completions. Start Reporting the Impact of Training", Shay Dalton, Director of Learning and Leadership Development at The Fresh Market, joins Sandra Moran, Chief Marketing Officer at Schoox, to show how a 172-location specialty grocer ties training to retention, workforce readiness, and guest satisfaction. Dalton explains how her team estimates turnover costs by role, shows how strong onboarding helps new hires stay longer, and makes learning a leadership priority. Attendees will leave with an approach for moving from tracking completions to measuring workforce readiness. Register for the webinar.

CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FASTer Way, a leading digital fitness and nutrition program, unveiled Lumi, the breakthrough AI guide that brings intelligence to every part of the FASTer Way experience. Built into the company's newly reimagined app, Lumi learns from every meal, workout, daily step and glass of water a member logs, then uses it all to suggest workouts, recommend meals and track progress in real time. Paired with over 3,700 coaches who have guided more than 585,000 members, Lumi sets a new standard: cutting-edge AI and irreplaceable coaching, working together.

Lumi starts with a snap. A member photographs their plate or provides a summary of their meal, and Lumi identifies the food, calculates the macros and logs the meal automatically, without any searching or manual entry required. The average meal takes less than 30 seconds to log. Members share their dietary preferences, and Lumi creates recipes and ready-to-use shopping lists designed to hit their macro targets.

As powerful as it is, Lumi is not the reason FASTer Way works. No algorithm can sense when a member is struggling, celebrate a hard-won milestone or know exactly when to say "you've got this." Coaches bring the accountability, encouragement and expertise that turn a plan into results. Lumi clears the busywork out of the way, so more of every member's energy and every coach's attention goes where it matters most.

Lumi in action:

- Intelligent guidance: After a morning strength session, a member snaps a photo of their lunch. Because Lumi knows their daily macro goals and dietary restrictions, it suggests an afternoon snack and dinner recipe that help them land on target for protein, fat and carbs.

- Effortless logging. A working parent enters a single sentence description of their lunch that day. Lumi recognizes the ingredients, estimates the portions, calculates the macros and logs the meal automatically. No searching, no guessing, no manual entry.

"Lumi is the most advanced technology we've ever put in our members' hands, and I believe it's the best tool in fitness and nutrition today," said Amanda Tress, founder and CEO of FASTer Way. "But technology doesn't change lives on its own. Our coaches do, and nothing replaces them. What Lumi does is give every member, and every coach, another layer of resources and personalization, so more of their energy goes into achieving results."

About FASTer Way

FASTer Way is a leading digital fitness and nutrition program and a clinically proven fat-loss app built for busy people of every fitness level. The company has been named to the Inc. 500 list and featured in the New York Post, USA Today, Forbes and Bon Appétit. Learn more at www.fasterway.com.

Led by MaC Venture Capital and Toyota Ventures, the oversubscribed seed round advances a new approach to spacecraft design, enabling modular spacecraft to autonomously assemble, expand and reconfigure in orbit.

GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rendezvous Robotics, the company building spacecraft that assemble themselves in orbit, has raised $20 million in an oversubscribed seed round. MaC Venture Capital and Toyota Ventures led the financing, which comes as the company prepares for a first-of-its-kind mission in 2028, when seven independent spacecraft tiles will autonomously join to form a single spacecraft, separate and assemble again into a different configuration.

The financing marks Rendezvous' first priced funding round and includes significant participation from the University of Michigan Endowment, new investment from Astera (co-founded by Jed McCaleb), Industrious Ventures, and continued support from existing investors Aurelia Foundry, ATX Venture Partners, and Mana Ventures, among others. The capital will support development of the company's next-generation spacecraft, flight demonstrations and team expansion.

Most spacecraft are designed around what fits inside a rocket fairing. That constraint forces engineers to make tradeoffs in power generation, compute, antenna size and heat dissipation before launch, even as demand for all of these continues to grow. Rendezvous is rewriting the rules of how spacecraft are built. Its spacecraft launch as compact, independent modular tiles, that autonomously maneuver, align and connect in orbit. The modular design allows spacecraft to be assembled into larger structures and reconfigured after launch to adapt to new missions.

From an MIT Lab to Orbit

Rendezvous builds on nearly a decade of research that began with TESSERAE, a modular self-assembly technology invented by Dr. Ariel Ekblaw at MIT and further developed through the Aurelia Institute, which Ekblaw founded. Earlier generations have flown aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket and on two missions to the International Space Station (ISS), providing the foundational proof of the underlying technological concept in microgravity.

"The vision behind TESSERAE was never simply to connect tiles in space. It was to rethink how we build beyond Earth," said Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, Co-Founder and Board Chair of Rendezvous Robotics. "For decades, the way we build spacecraft has been shaped by what we can fit inside a rocket. We're challenging that constraint. What began as an experiment in self-assembly is now becoming a new way to build spacecraft in orbit."

The company is now developing a new generation of larger, independently operating spacecraft tiles, with ground demonstrations underway to validate autonomous movement, alignment and assembly. A planned parabolic flight campaign in November 2026 will further test electromagnetic actuation and mobility in microgravity. These efforts are leading to Rendezvous' low-earth demonstration, scheduled to launch aboard a reserved rideshare no earlier than April 2028. The mission will feature fully autonomous assembly and reconfiguration of independently deployed Rendezvous spacecraft tiles in free space, demonstrating how spacecraft can change their physical structure after launch without external robotic assistance.

"We're changing what it means to build a spacecraft," said Joe Landon, Co-Founder and CEO of Rendezvous Robotics. "Imagine spacecraft with megawatt-scale power generation, enormous communications and sensing apertures, and the ability to expand or reconfigure as mission needs change. Rendezvous is building spacecraft on an entirely different scale, with the ability to add capabilities after launch and take on missions that simply aren't practical with the way we build spacecraft today. We've brought together a world-class engineering team with the experience, ingenuity and technical expertise to make that vision a reality."

Separately, a final ISS demonstration of fifth-generation TESSERAE technology is scheduled for December 2026, when 32 tiles will autonomously assemble into a three-dimensional structure in a controlled microgravity environment. The experiment marks the culmination of the earlier TESSERAE research program as Rendezvous advances the larger, free-flying spacecraft architecture.

Investors Back a New Approach to Spacecraft Design

MaC Venture Capital

"The most interesting companies challenge assumptions that an entire industry has learned to work around," said Michael Palank, Managing General Partner at MaC Venture Capital. "Rendezvous is doing exactly that. Instead of finding better ways to package a spacecraft for launch, they're rethinking how spacecraft are built in the first place. The team has the technical foundation, experience, and ambition to pursue something genuinely different."

Toyota Ventures

"What stood out to us is that autonomy isn't an added feature. It's fundamental to how Rendezvous is designing its spacecraft," said Chris Abshire, Partner at Toyota Ventures. "The ability for individual modules to maneuver, connect, and eventually reconfigure in orbit could create an entirely new set of options for spacecraft designers and operators. Toyota Ventures sees significant potential in the combination of robotics, modularity, and autonomous control."

University of Michigan Investment Office

"We've followed Ariel's research with great interest and have tremendous confidence in her vision and the team she's helped build," said Daniel Feder, Senior Managing Director at the University of Michigan Investment Office. "Bringing breakthrough technology out of the research environment and into practical use takes both technical discipline and long-term commitment. Rendezvous has a strong foundation of research behind it, and we're excited to support the next stage of its development."

About Rendezvous Robotics

Rendezvous Robotics builds modular spacecraft designed to assemble, expand and adapt in orbit. Building on technology originally developed through MIT's TESSERAE research, the company is advancing autonomous in-orbit assembly to enable larger, more capable and reconfigurable spacecraft for commercial, civil and national security missions.

Director of Sports Jeremy Barker added, "Indoor courts give us the flexibility to offer consistent, year-round play while providing professional-level conditions in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. It means fewer interruptions to our programming and even more opportunities for our members to enjoy the game."

The next major opening under the Master Plan is scheduled for fall 2026. The elegant, 41,000-square-foot building will feature a dynamic indoor-outdoor restaurant with sweeping views of the newly renovated practice facilities and the 18th holes of the Sunrise and Sunset golf courses. It will also include a fully reimagined Golf Shop with expanded retail and custom-fitting services, a convenient grab-and-go dining outlet for the Club's active membership, and additional amenities. The building will play a key role in shaping the next chapter of the Mirasol experience.
