MIAX Launches Physically-settled Fertilizer Futures on MIAX Futures

MIAMI and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami International Holdings, Inc. (MIAX®) (NYSE: MIAX), a technology-driven leader in building and operating regulated financial markets across multiple asset classes, today announced the successful launch of four physically-settled fertilizer futures contracts on MIAX Futures® — NOLA Urea (Ticker: MGU) Futures, NOLA Mono-ammonium Phosphate (Ticker: MAP) Futures, NOLA Di-ammonium Phosphate (Ticker: DAP) Futures, and NOLA Potassium Chloride (Ticker: MOP) Futures.

The four new products are traded on the MIAX Futures Onyx electronic trading platform and cleared through MIAX Futures Clearing.

"Imported fertilizer is a vital input for global food production and with one third of all fertilizer traded by sea passing through the Strait of Hormuz, ongoing volatility in the region exposed significant vulnerabilities in the commodity's supply chain," said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX. "MIAX Futures' physically-settled fertilizer futures provide a transparent, exchange-traded mechanism for managing risk and establishing price discovery during times of uncertainty."

"Volatility in global fertilizer markets reinforces the importance of risk-management tools and price transparency throughout the supply chain," said Roger Baker, Vice President, Crop Nutrients Product Line at CHS, a leading global agribusiness and the largest farmer-owned cooperative in the United States. "Customers and suppliers benefit from having access to tools and strategies that can help manage risk as they make purchasing, production and marketing decisions."

"MIAX Futures has worked closely with the agricultural industry for over a century, and we remain committed to supporting the needs of our customers with product and technology innovation," said Shelly Brown, Chief Strategy Officer of MIAX and Chief Executive Officer of MIAX Futures.

INVE Technologies Announces the Commencement of a $20 Million Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer for its Common Stock

Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- INVE Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) ("INVE Technologies" or the "Company") announced today that it has commenced a modified "Dutch auction" self-tender offer to purchase for cash up to $20 million in value of shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a price not greater than $3.40 per share nor less than $2.85 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding and, in certain limited circumstances, transfer taxes and without interest. The tender offer commenced today, October 21, 2026, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, November 19, 2026, unless extended or terminated. On October 20, 2026, the reported closing price for the common stock on Nasdaq was $2.22 per share. The tender offer is being made as part of the up to $40 million share repurchase program previously authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company also announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

"Following the close of our transaction with Trackonomy, we are delivering on our commitment to return capital to our stockholders," said James Ousley, Chairman of the Board. "We believe this tender offer accelerates that return, while preserving flexibility for future capital returns and strategic acquisitions as we pursue our strategy of acquiring and growing compliance or specialized software businesses that can leverage Physical AI in highly regulated industries."

Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer

A modified "Dutch auction" self-tender allows stockholders to indicate how many shares and at what price within the range described above (in increments of $0.05 per share) they wish to tender their shares. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, INVE Technologies will determine the lowest per share price within the range that will enable the Company to purchase $20 million in value of shares, or if a lesser value of shares is properly tendered, all shares that have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. INVE Technologies reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the per share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the aggregate value of shares sought in the tender offer, subject to applicable law. If shares having an aggregate purchase price of more than $20 million are properly tendered in the tender offer and not properly withdrawn, INVE Technologies reserves the right to accept for purchase pursuant to the tender offer up to an additional 2% of its outstanding shares without extending the expiration time for the tender offer. All shares accepted in the tender offer will be purchased at the same price, even if tendered at a lower price. Any shares tendered may be withdrawn prior to expiration of the tender offer. Stockholders that do not wish to participate in the tender offer do not need to take any action.

If the tender offer is fully subscribed, then shares of common stock having an aggregate purchase price of $20 million will be purchased, representing approximately 24.7 percent to 29.4 percent of INVE Technologies' issued and outstanding shares as of October 19, 2026, depending on the purchase price payable for those shares pursuant to the tender offer.

INVE Technologies will use cash on hand to fund the repurchase of shares in the tender offer and to pay all related fees and expenses. The tender offer is not conditioned upon obtaining financing or any minimum number of shares being tendered; however, the tender offer is subject to a number of other terms and conditions, which are specified in the offer to purchase.

Specific instructions and a complete explanation of the terms and conditions of the tender offer will be contained in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and the other tender offer materials that will be mailed to registered stockholders shortly and that also can be accessed at the following website: www.dfking.com/INVE. Beneficial holders will receive the offer to purchase and a communication from their bank, broker or custodian.

INVE Technologies' directors and executive officers have advised INVE Technologies that they do not intend to tender their shares in the tender offer.

While INVE Technologies' Board of Directors has approved the making of the tender offer, none of INVE Technologies, its Board of Directors, the dealer manager, the depositary, or the information agent makes any recommendation to any stockholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any shares or as to the price or prices at which stockholders may choose to tender their shares. INVE Technologies has not authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Stockholders must decide whether to tender their shares and, if so, how many shares to tender and at what price or prices. In doing so, stockholders should carefully evaluate all of the information in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal, and the other tender offer materials before making any decision with respect to the tender offer, and should consult their financial and tax advisors.

Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC is serving as the exclusive dealer manager for the tender offer. The information agent for the tender offer is D.F. King & Co., Inc., and the depositary is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC.

Preliminary Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Based on currently available information, INVE Technologies expects to report the following preliminary unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026:

Additionally, the Company's cash balance as of September 30, 2026, was $87.1 million. The preliminary financial results set forth above are based on management's initial review of the Company's results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and reflect the closing of the asset sale transaction with Trackonomy Systems, Inc. on September 15, 2026. These preliminary financial results are subject to revision based upon the completion of the Company's quarter-end financial closing procedures and the review of its interim financial statements by its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary results and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimates, and these estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company expects to report its final complete results for the third quarter of 2026 on or about November 12, 2026.

AI-native Enterprise TRiSCM™ innovator secures institutional backing, earns Leader recognition in GRC and Third-Party Risk Management, and accelerates global expansion

DALLAS, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalXForce today announced the launch of the industry's first Enterprise TRiSCM™ (Trust, Risk, and Security Management) platform designed for the AI and Quantum era, introducing a new operating model for organizations to manage Trust, Risk, Security and Compliance through continuous assurance, operational intelligence and autonomous risk operation.

DigitalXForce, the AI-native Enterprise Trust, Risk, Security and Compliance Management (TRiSCM™) platform, today announced a strategic institutional investment from Arsenal Equity Group to accelerate global expansion, enterprise adoption and AI-powered innovation.

The investment follows a period of exceptional momentum for DigitalXForce, highlighted by three major milestones:

- IDC MarketScape Leader Recognition: DigitalXForce was named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Third-Party Risk Management Software 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US53007725, September 2026), following its Leader positioning in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Governance, Risk, and Compliance Software Vendor Assessment, 2025 (Doc #US53615325, June 2025).

- 514% Growth: DigitalXForce was recognized as the second fastest-growing technology company in North Texas in the 2026 Tech Titans Fast Tech Awards.

- Strategic Institutional Investment: Arsenal Equity Group's investment will support the company's next phase of global growth, product innovation and enterprise market expansion.

Together, these milestones reinforce DigitalXForce's evolution from an emerging GRC innovator into a rapidly scaling enterprise technology company advancing the shift toward continuous Digital Trust and AI-powered Risk Intelligence.

Institutional Investment to Accelerate Global Scale

The strategic investment from Arsenal Equity Group will support DigitalXForce's expansion across North America, the Middle East, Europe and Asia-Pacific, while strengthening its global enterprise sales, partner ecosystem and product engineering capabilities.

The company plans to accelerate investment in its unified Enterprise TRiSCM™ platform, including Automated GRC, Continuous Control Assurance, Third-Party Risk Management, AI Risk Governance, Enterprise Security Posture Management and X-ROC™ Risk Operations.

The funding also supports DigitalXForce's strategy to deepen relationships with global systems integrators, consulting organizations, technology partners and regional distributors.

CEO Perspective

"Our 514% growth, IDC MarketScape Leader recognition and Arsenal Equity Group's investment validate our vision. We are scaling AI-powered Enterprise TRiSCM and XForce Risk Operations Center (X-ROC) globally to redefine Digital Trust."

— Lalit Ahluwalia, Founder & CEO, DigitalXForce

Investor Perspective

"DigitalXForce brings together exceptional growth, differentiated AI-native technology and a compelling vision for enterprise risk management. Its industry recognition and global market momentum reinforce our conviction in the company's ability to scale and establish a leadership position in Digital Trust. We are excited to partner with Lalit and the DigitalXForce team as they enter their next phase of growth."

— Jason Rottenberg, Principal, Arsenal Equity Group

Recognized as a Leader in Two IDC MarketScape Assessments

DigitalXForce's latest recognition in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Third-Party Risk Management Software 2026 Vendor Assessment marks another significant milestone in its Enterprise TRiSCM strategy.

The assessment evaluated third-party risk management software providers based on their capabilities and strategies, positioning DigitalXForce in the Leaders category.

The recognition follows DigitalXForce's Leader positioning in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Governance, Risk and Compliance software.

Together, the two assessments recognize DigitalXForce's competitive positioning across complementary enterprise risk management markets.

DigitalXForce's architecture brings third-party risk management, automated GRC and continuous control monitoring together on a unified platform, enabling enterprises to manage internal and external risk through connected evidence, common controls and continuously updated risk intelligence.

Transforming Third-Party Risk from Questionnaires to Continuous Intelligence

Traditional third-party risk management programs often rely on annual questionnaires, manual evidence reviews and periodic vendor assessments.

However, expanding supplier ecosystems, cybersecurity threats and regulations such as DORA and NIS2 are increasing the need for ongoing oversight.

DigitalXForce's Automated Third-Party Risk Management with External Risk View combines:

- Risk-based vendor classification and tiering.

- AI-assisted questionnaire and document analysis.

- Continuous external attack surface and cyber risk intelligence.

- Vulnerability, misconfiguration and breach exposure monitoring.

- Fourth-party dependency visibility.

- Automated risk scoring, remediation workflows and SLA tracking.

- Unified evidence mapping across regulatory and compliance frameworks.

Unlike standalone third-party assessment tools, DigitalXForce integrates supplier risk intelligence with an organization's internal security, compliance and enterprise risk posture.

This enables risk teams to move beyond periodic vendor attestations toward continuous, evidence-driven third-party risk management.

From Traditional GRC to Enterprise Digital Trust

DigitalXForce is building a unified operating model for enterprise trust, risk, security and compliance.

Its Enterprise TRiSCM™ platform brings together 15 integrated modules on a common data layer, with controls mapped across more than 50 compliance frameworks and supported by more than 250 technology integrations.

Two proprietary AI engines, AI JedAI and XForce GPT, support capabilities spanning evidence analysis, control testing, risk quantification, policy intelligence and remediation orchestration.

The platform is designed to help enterprises transition:

From Periodic GRC → Continuous Control Assurance

From Fragmented Risk Tools → Unified Enterprise TRiSCM™

From Vendor Questionnaires → Continuous Third-Party Risk Intelligence

From Reactive Risk Management → Proactive Risk Operations

From Compliance Reporting → Measurable Digital Trust

DigitalXForce is extending this vision through X-ROC™, its Risk Operations Center approach, designed to help organizations continuously monitor, prioritize and manage enterprise risk.

514% Growth Reinforces Market Momentum

DigitalXForce's 514% three-year growth and No. 2 ranking in the 2026 Tech Titans Fast Tech Awards reflect increasing market demand for automated, AI-native approaches to risk, cybersecurity and compliance.

Founded in North Texas in 2023, DigitalXForce has expanded into international markets, supporting organizations navigating complex enterprise risk, regulatory requirements and digital transformation initiatives.

Its hybrid deployment architecture also enables organizations to address regional data residency and sovereignty requirements while benefiting from centralized governance and AI-powered risk intelligence.

With institutional backing, two IDC MarketScape Leader recognitions and continued international expansion, DigitalXForce is positioned to pursue its next stage of enterprise growth.

Building the Future of Digital Trust

As organizations adopt AI, cloud technologies and increasingly interconnected digital ecosystems, traditional point-in-time risk assessments are becoming insufficient.

DigitalXForce believes the future belongs to platforms that continuously connect security, governance, compliance, third-party exposure, resilience and enterprise risk into a unified view of organizational trust.

From GRC to Enterprise TRiSCM™. From periodic compliance to continuous assurance. From managing risk to building Digital Trust.

With the support of Arsenal Equity Group, DigitalXForce intends to accelerate that transformation globally.

About DigitalXForce — We Stop Risk Before It Strikes.

DigitalXForce, Industry's first AI-Powered Enterprise TRiSCM (Trust, Risk, Security and Compliance Management) Platform, is pioneering the next generation of Automated GRC with Continuous Trust Assurance by converging AI, cybersecurity, compliance, operational resilience, and posture management into one unified Risk Intelligence platform. Designed with a modular and composable architecture, DigitalXForce delivers an integrated suite of capabilities spanning automated GRC, Enterprise Security Risk Posture Management (ESRPM), Third-Party Risk Management, Cyber Resilience, and Regulatory Compliance.

Credit-card-sized device extends My Notes beyond the screen with a single press, no phone or laptop required. Preorders open now, shipping November 1.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DTEN, a leading provider of intuitive collaboration solutions, today introduced the DTEN Action Card, a credit-card-sized device that brings Zoom My Notes to in-person conversations. Announced with Zoom at Zoomtopia 2026, the Action Card expands a hardware partnership of nearly a decade. It is available for preorder now and ships November 1.

A lot of work happens off the meeting link: a decision in a hallway, a client lunch, a customer call. The meeting ends, but the commitments made in those conversations don't, and until now they sat outside the notes people keep from their meetings.

The Action Card closes that gap. With a single press, and no other device, an in-person conversation goes directly to My Notes. AI can only help with what it knows, and the Action Card gives Zoom AI Companion more of the story. In My Notes, AI Companion turns each conversation into summaries, key takeaways and action items, alongside notes from Zoom meetings.

The Action Card is made for one person and ready for a whole team. Every card is managed in DTEN Orbit alongside the company's DTEN meeting and workspace devices, so IT sees and manages the cards and the rooms in one place.

"DTEN has spent years making the room work for the people in it," said Wei Liu, CEO of DTEN. "But work doesn't stay in the room, and many of the conversations that move it forward happen in a hallway or across a desk. The Action Card brings Thoughtful Design to those moments: one press, nothing in the way. It also reflects how closely DTEN and Zoom work together."

"Some of the most valuable conversations at work can happen away from the screen, and we want My Notes there too," said Jeff Smith, head of Product, Workplace AI, Meetings, and Spaces at Zoom. "DTEN has been building hardware in collaboration with Zoom for nearly a decade, and the Action Card brings My Notes into those moments with a single press — no phone or laptop required."

Pricing and Availability

The DTEN Action Card is available for preorder now at $189 and ships November 1, 2026. Learn more and preorder at www.DTEN.com/products/action-card.

About DTEN

DTEN builds workspace solutions guided by Thoughtful Design, rethinking problems the industry accepts as given, engineering the solution inside the product so the complexity stays hidden, and delivering systems that work intuitively for all users. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, DTEN serves customers around the world. For more information, visit www.DTEN.com.

Lovense Publishes the Distance Index 2026, a Startling Annual Report on Long-Distance Intimacy

5 Million+ Connections in a Single Year Reveal Some Surprising Facts About Couples Who Live Apart

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lovense today published the Lovense Distance Index 2026. Partners on the Lovense Remote app, the hub of the Lovense ecosystem, logged 5.036 million remote sessions between October 2025 and September 2026, averaging 20.4 minutes each. Added together, they come to roughly 196 years of connection, which is longer than the telephone has existed.

In 2013, Crystal Jiang and Jeffrey Hancock published a study in the Journal of Communication. The long-distance couples they surveyed felt more intimate than couples living close by. "The long-distance couples try harder than geographically close couples in communicating affection and intimacy," Jiang said. That study drew its conclusions from how couples felt. Now, with five million anonymized app records, the Distance Index goes further and looks at how technology lets partners experience physical intimacy across distance.

Key findings

Most long-distance couples choose to meet at 10 p.m. The day is over. The phone is on the pillow. Across the week, that is the hour they chose: activity peaked between 10 and 11 p.m. local time, by session end on the reporting side. "Before I fall asleep, it's always you I think of."

One connection a day is often not enough for couples apart. On 37.8% of the days a partner connected, they came back for a second session.

Connections peaked on Valentine's Day, yet the sessions were among the shortest?! Long-distance couples logged about 22,000 sessions on February 14, 49% more than on comparable weekdays. Then the surprise: the median session lasted only 6.6 minutes, below an ordinary day. But the next night, February 15, the median session stretched past 11.7 minutes! Valentine's Day, it seems, was only the foreplay. The day after was the main course.

In one country, couples apart find it hard to say goodnight once they start. Within a single country, couples in Japan stayed on longest. One session in ten ran past 62 minutes. As the report puts it, "some people, once they connect, can't bring themselves to say goodnight."

More than half of the busiest routes cross a border. Eleven of the top 20 routes link two countries. On the Australia–United States route alone, couples split between the two countries logged 11,800 sessions. At 10 p.m. in Sydney, it is not yet dawn in Los Angeles. The report asks how many "When are you coming home?" messages sit behind that one route.

Long-distance longing crosses time as well as distance

The report sets its total against a timeline that runs from the steam age in 1830 through the first phone call in 1876 to the internet in 1995. Over those years, people learned to send words and then voices across any distance.

But if they wanted to touch each other, couples apart were still out of reach.

Engineers in intimacy technology have worked on that problem since 1975, when the computing pioneer Ted Nelson coined the term "teledildonics." In 2015, the sex-tech developer Kyle Machulis described the process to VICE. "You have to turn on your computer, hook up the toy, hope the toy has drivers on there, hope the drivers will talk to the toy in the correct way…" Few couples would go through that on a weeknight.

Dan Liu, an engineer, founded Lovense in Singapore in 2010 to take those steps away, with long-distance couples in mind first. The company still works under the same three words: "Closing the Distance." Its first app-controlled toys went on sale in 2013. They were the first piece of what is now the Lovense ecosystem.

A session today needs two phones. When one partner taps the screen, the command crosses the internet to the other partner's phone and then reaches the toy over Bluetooth. Couples can do this during a video call in the same app. The person wearing the toy decides how long it runs and can stop it at any moment.

Couples can also sync the same devices to music, video, live streams, and games built with the company's Unity and Unreal plugins. Outside developers build their own apps on its public APIs. That is the Lovense ecosystem today, and every part of it runs on the same connection a couple uses at 10 p.m.

"When we started in 2010, long distance meant you could see and hear each other, and that was all," said Dan Liu, founder and CEO of Lovense. "This report shows what couples do once touch is possible. Twenty minutes before bed, often twice in a day, on an ordinary weeknight. Our job is to keep taking steps out of their way. And to make sure what happens between two people stays between them. Everything else in the Lovense ecosystem is built on that one connection."

A market with no official count

No government counts long-distance couples, so the report's five million sessions have no official total to sit beside. The United Nations counted 304 million international migrants in 2024, nearly twice the 1990 figure. In the United States, 12.5% of couples who married in 2023 were living apart from their spouse, according to researchers at Bowling Green State University.

Jobs, degrees and visas now put a border, or an ocean, between a great many partners. The couples in this report found a way across it in the Lovense ecosystem. Tonight, between 10 and 11, many of them will connect again.

wine2wine Vinitaly Business Forum New York 2026: Empowering Italian Wineries to Captivate American Travelers

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With American demand for wine tourism hitting record highs, the wine2wine Vinitaly Business Forum 2026 in New York will unveil new strategies to help Italian wineries capture the high-spending US market. The two-day forum runs from 26–27 October 2026, in conjunction with Vinitaly.USA, and brings together producers, trade professionals, specialist travel agents, tour operators and other key stakeholders to explore how the Italian wine sector can leverage the lucrative American travel market.

Why Wine Tourism Matters to Italy

Wine tourism has become far more than a complement to wine sales. For Italian wineries it is now a structural part of the business, and a driver of local economies, employment and international visibility. Italy's vineyards, historic cellars, rural landscapes and food traditions are central to why visitors come, and wine and food are increasingly what shape those journeys.

The numbers reflect this:

- A major source of revenue- A Nomisma Wine Monitor and UniCredit report presented at Vinitaly 2026 found that wine tourism generated over €3 billion for Italian wineries in 2025, equal to an average of 21% of their turnover.

- Value for local communities- Research by the Italian Association for Food and Wine Tourism (AITE), and Studi e Ricerche per il Mezzogiorno (SRM) estimates that each wine tourism visit generates more than €150 in added value across agriculture, restaurants, retail, culture and crafts.

- A growing global market- The same research values wine tourism worldwide at $46.5 billion, with Europe accounting for more than half of the market.

The American Traveller and Italian Wine

The United States is a key source of wine-minded visitors to Italy. Recent studies suggest that more than half of Americans travelling to Italy now place wine, food or both at the centre of their itinerary. Yet most continue to visit the same regions and wineries, leaving enormous opportunity for producers and territories still outside the usual routes. At wine2wine Vinitaly Business Forum, the conversation turns to who shapes those choices, and how Italian producers and regions can get onto the right radars.

Wine Tourism Sessions at wine2wine Vinitaly Business Forum 2026

The Future of Wine Tourism in Italy: Who Decides Where American Wine Travellers Go Next?

Monday, 26 October 2026, 10:30–11:15 (local time), wine2wine Brooklyn room, Floor 0, Pier 36, New York

Increasingly, specialist travel agents, wine-focused tour operators and trusted itinerary builders are influencing where wine-interested Americans go, as consumers face choice overload and turn to experts to design memorable wine travel experiences. Susan Kostrzewa, Cristina Mariani, Riley Pearce and Seth Snider will lead a discussion with key voices in the specialist travel space, exploring how itineraries are built, which trends are emerging among American clients, and how Italian producers and regions can get onto the right radars.

From Winery to Itinerary: How the Global Travel Industry Sells Italian Wine Tourism

Tuesday, 27 October 2026, 11:15–12:00 (local time)

A great winery does not automatically translate into a great tourist attraction. To turn interest in Italian wine into an actual trip, a destination must be easily incorporated into an itinerary. Moderated by Sara Magro, the panel will bring together key players from cruise lines, hotel groups, specialized tour operators, and the luxury travel sector to understand how an itinerary is created and what criteria determine the inclusion of a winery or a region. The discussion will analyse the true commercial architecture of wine tourism, with a practical goal: to understand how to make Italian wine destinations easier to incorporate into an itinerary, book, and sell on the international market.

The Future of Wine Tourism in Italy: Destinations, Experiences and Opportunities for the Global Market

Tuesday, 27 October 2026, 12:00–12:45 (local time). Promoted by the Ministry of Tourism with the support of ENIT S.p.A.

The session will feature Hon. Gianluca Caramanna and Ivana Jelinic, CEO of ENIT S.p.A., and will introduce ENIT's Wine Tourism Hub, a new B2B platform showcasing the richness and diversity of Italy's wine tourism experiences, to be unveiled at the conference.

More from the 2026 Program

Alongside wine tourism, the preliminary program covers Italian wine in the American market and the wider Italian wine landscape, including:

- Regional focus-sessions on Sardegna (presented by Regione Sardegna) and on the many faces of Friuli Venezia Giulia (presented with ERSA FVG).

- Market strategy-how America's three-tier system really moves wine, three wine strategies for Texas, growing with Millennials and LDA Gen Z, and planning a US marketing plan for Italian wine with an AI assistant.

- Masterclasses-including sessions powered by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter and International Wine Center, and a masterclass on Italy's age-worthy white wines with Commonwealth Wine School.

- Vinitaly International Academy-the VIA NY Pinning Ceremony on 26 October and the VIA Advanced Tasting Session "Beyond the Basics – Tasting Italy with Sarah Heller MW" on 27 October.

- OperaWine-OperaWine 2027 Revealed: Wine Spectator Presents Italy's Selected Producers, on 26 October.

RTX's Collins Aerospace launches Tower MicroELITE surveillance solution at San Bernardino International Airport

Advanced display technology enables controllers to manage rising traffic demands

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has announced the launch of its Tower MicroELITE (TME) surveillance solution, a secure, scalable digital display system that enhances air traffic controller situational awareness. San Bernardino Airport (SBD) became the first to deploy the new solution, providing the integrated surveillance data tracking needed to accommodate a rapid increase in airspace operations.

As a federal contract tower, SBD represents a growing segment of private and contract airports that continue to see rising traffic levels without the benefit of certified radar displays, underscoring the need for modern, reliable surveillance solutions.

"As air traffic continues to grow, airports need solutions that give controllers a clear and reliable view of what's happening in their airspace," said Nicole White, vice president and general manager of Connected Aviation at Collins Aerospace. "Tower MicroELITE delivers that clarity with an FAA-approved solution that's easy to integrate and scalable so operators can manage traffic demands with confidence."

The TME solution is architected from Collins' FAA-certified Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), providing controllers a familiar, industry-standard interface to monitor and manage complex aircraft sequencing. Utilizing commercial off-the-shelf hardware, the TME system can be deployed at airports of any size – including regional and general aviation reliever airports, business aviation terminals and heliports – providing towers a compact, efficient and affordable enterprise-grade situational awareness tool.

TME has received FAA System Design Approval as an Airborne Position Reference Tool (APRT), making the system available for deployment at eligible FAA Contract Tower airports and privately operated air traffic control facilities. The solution advances Collins' broader vision for airspace modernization by connecting controllers with timely surveillance data and proven automation tools to help them manage increasingly complex operating environments.
