As Dallas Breaks Ground on Its $3.7 Billion Convention Center Redevelopment, 1823 Cadiz Street Stands as the Best-Positioned Development Site in Dallas' Convention Center District
Demolition is underway on Dallas’s old Convention Center, and the city’s southern core is changing in real time. Wildcat Management announces that 1823 Cadiz Street, a 0.67-acre fully-entitled development site in the Dallas Central Business District, is positioned directly within the transformation footprint of the Convention Center District as the largest public investment in the city's history moves from planning into construction. Dallas currently adds more than 700 new residents to the DFW area every single day and posted 49 million visitors last year, the fastest-growing visitor market in the country. Eleven major corporate headquarters have relocated to the region in recent years. The $3.7 billion Convention Center is scheduled to open in 2029, with the proposed arena in the City Hall District expected to follow in 2030 or 2031. 1823 Cadiz Street sits between the Farmers Market District, City Hall, and the emerging Arena District, at the center of every major investment corridor now moving in downtown Dallas. The site carries PD 357 zoning, which eliminates the entitlement risk that kills most downtown development deals before they start. Three development programs have already been studied by Merriman Anderson Architects, all by right under current zoning with no variance required: No height cap and no minimum parking requirement 20:1 floor area ratio, allowing up to 580,000 square feet of buildable area on a single parcel 250-plus-unit residential tower, 200-key hotel, or a combined residential and hospitality program, all supported under existing zoning The site also carries three layers of financial incentive that transfer to a buyer: Newpark Tax Increment Financing District Federal Opportunity Zone designation PD 357 zoning, which eliminates entitlement cost and timeline risk from day one “Demolition is the proof that this is no longer a future story,” said Tanya Ragan , Founder and President of Wildcat Management. “Crews are on site. The infrastructure is moving. A buyer who positions on this parcel today is not betting on what Dallas might become. They are stepping into what Dallas is already building.” For more information on 1823 Cadiz Street, visit tanyaoutloud.com/the-last-blank-canvas-in-downtown-dallas/

Turkish and American Business Leaders Converge on New York for High-Level Economic Summit
The Turkish-American Business Summit brought together leaders from business, diplomacy, media, and culture at Türkevi New York, organized through a collaborative effort among TABA-AmCham (Turkish-American Business Association and Chamber of Commerce), TABNET NYC, and the CEO Platform. The gathering focused on three strategic priorities: expanding bilateral trade volume between Turkey and the United States, identifying new investment opportunities, and strengthening the presence of Turkish companies in the American market. Opening Remarks Underscore Strong Commitment to Bilateral Cooperation The summit was hosted by Birnaz Yılmaz Gülnahar, founder of Egopro Media, with a delegation of TABA-AmCham and CEO Platform members attending from Turkey. Ömer Kalafatoğlu, Chairman of TABNET, opened the event by emphasizing the importance of building a more visible and sustainable footprint for Turkish business in the United States. He noted that cross-institutional solidarity is essential to unlocking new opportunities for Turkish entrepreneurs and companies operating in the American market. TABA-AmCham Chairman Süleyman Ecevit Sanlı followed with remarks underscoring that the Turkey-U.S. economic relationship has grown well beyond its commercial foundations, now carrying strategic weight across technology, investment, entrepreneurship, and public diplomacy. Sanlı called on Turkish business leaders to take a more active and ambitious role in shaping the bilateral agenda. Haldun Pak, Chairman of the CEO Platform, highlighted the critical role of international partnerships in enhancing the global competitiveness of Turkish companies. He described the New York summit as a meaningful networking milestone for the Turkish business community, providing a high-level platform for relationship building and deal exploration. Muhittin Ahmet Yazal, Consul General of the Republic of Türkiye in New York, expressed strong support for the deepening of commercial and cultural ties between the two countries. He highlighted the indispensable role that civil society organizations play in advancing economic diplomacy and bridging the gap between governments and private sector actors. Academic Selçuk Şirin closed the opening session with a presentation on the international potential of the Turkish community, exploring themes of education, innovation, and next-generation entrepreneurship. Diplomacy Meets Culture at Türkevi A highlight of the program was a ceremonial artwork presentation in which TABA-AmCham Chairman Süleyman Ecevit Sanlı presented Consul General Yazal with a work titled “The Return of Picasso,” gifted by TABA-AmCham Culture and Arts Committee Chairman Nejat Çuhadar-oğlu. The gesture underscored the summit’s dual focus on diplomacy and cultural exchange. At the end of the event, plaques were presented to the individuals who contributed to the organization, including Birnaz Yılmaz Gülnahar, in recognition of her contributions to her field. Rooftop Networking Gala Draws Broad Participation Following the Türkevi gathering, TABA-AmCham and Karakaşlıoğlu Law Firm PLLC co-hosted a Rooftop Networking Gala in connection with the May 19 Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day. The event united public diplomacy representatives and business leaders on a single platform, fostering new professional connections and partnerships between the Turkish and American business communities. TABA-AmCham Marches in 43rd Annual Turkish Day Parade TABA-AmCham participated in full force in the 43rd Annual Turkish Day Parade and Festival, organized under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye’s Directorate of Communications and coordinated by TADF. The delegation joined the flag-raising ceremony, the parade procession, and the gala program, representing both Turkey and its member organizations on an international stage through a dedicated institutional float. The festival’s rich cultural programming and strong attendance reinforced the unity and visibility of the Turkish community in the United States. Washington, D.C.: Strategic Meetings at the Highest Levels TABA-AmCham Chairman Sanlı held a dedicated meeting with U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) in Washington, D.C., during which the two discussed state-level economic cooperation, investment opportunities, and strategies for increasing bilateral trade volume. As part of the Washington engagements, TABA-AmCham also convened roundtable discussions with Turkish trade counselors and attachés from the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade posted in the United States. These sessions addressed actionable pathways for institutional advancement of trade relations between the two countries. In parallel, diplomatic contacts in the defense domain addressed topics including defense industry cooperation, strategic security dialogue, and institutional coordination between Turkish and American counterparts. B2B Meetings Open Doors to New Business Opportunities Dedicated B2B meetings organized in Washington, D.C. brought together Turkish and American business representatives to explore investment, partnership, and commercial expansion opportunities. The structured sessions facilitated direct engagement between decision-makers and are expected to yield tangible business outcomes in the months ahead.

Old Bags Luncheon Celebrates 27 Years as the Brand Prepares for a New Chapter
Old Bags Luncheon ™, a Palm Beach charity institution, is celebrating 27 years of philanthropic fundraising as founder Eileen Cornacchia prepares the organization for future ownership and wider international expansion. (Old Bags Luncheon, source: Old Bags Luncheon) Founded in April 1999, the luxury handbag fundraising platform has spent nearly three decades building a reputation around charity luncheons, designer auctions, and socially driven donor events that have reached communities across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The brand, Cornacchia highlights, has grown purely by word of mouth, driven through personal referrals and community enthusiasm. She shares, “I never did advertising anywhere in the world. This grew simply because more people sought to replicate the same experience in their own community.” That growth has expanded the event into high-profile seasonal markets, including Southampton and Saratoga Springs , where she notes that influential local committees and honorary chairpersons help elevate participation and fundraising visibility. “People open an invitation and see names they know and trust, and suddenly they want to be part of it too,” she adds. Old Bags Luncheon™ events combine luxury handbag auctions with celebrity guest appearances and charitable giving. Cornacchia points to past events that have featured high-profile celebrities and pop-cultural icons , which she believes signal the caliber of gathering Old Bags Luncheon™ has strived to deliver since its inception. According to her, the atmosphere surrounding the luncheons has always mattered as much as the fundraising itself. “I want everybody leaving there saying they hope the event comes back next year,” she shares. “The women are donating to a good cause, finding beautiful handbags at auction prices, and spending time together in a joyful environment.” Luxury handbags remain the core of the organization’s identity, with committee members and attendees often contributing designer pieces sourced from personal collections and retail relationships. Cornacchia believes those contributions helped transform the auctions into major fundraising drivers over time. She shares, “People started bringing better and better handbags every year.” (Old Bags Luncheon™ 2026 at The Breakers Palm Beach, source: Diana Zapata) As Old Bags Luncheon™ reaches new milestones, Cornacchia is actively seeking buyers interested in carrying the brand into its next phase. During that process, she is offering to remain with the business for one year post-acquisition to personally guide the next generation of charitable partners through the model she has refined over nearly three decades. “I would stay on and teach the next generation how to run the events. There’s a formula to it, and after all these years, I know what keeps people excited and engaged,” she explains. Cornacchia has also developed a detailed operational guidebook that outlines the event model, committee structure, auction process, and organizational strategy used throughout the brand’s expansion. Interest in the luxury handbag sector continues to grow globally , according to Cornacchia, who recently attended a handbag-focused event hosted by a luxury auction house. She notes that the experience reinforced her belief that Old Bags Luncheon™ holds strong long-term potential within charitable and luxury markets. Trademark expansion also remains underway, including a pending trademark application in Japan, which Cornacchia identifies as one of the strongest luxury handbag markets internationally. She adds that future growth opportunities could also include Great Britain and the UAE. “Word of mouth carried this business from Palm Beach to other parts of the world,” she remarks. “I still believe there are many places where this concept can grow and thrive.” Old Bags Luncheon™ now enters its next chapter with Cornacchia focused on preserving the organization’s philanthropic culture while identifying ownership capable of expanding the brand’s international presence and longstanding fundraising legacy.

SCEND becomes one of the few UK logistics providers to hold B Corp Certification
SCEND, the eCommerce fulfilment and third-party logistics ( 3PL ) provider, has been awarded B Corp Certification by B Lab, placing it among a vanishingly small group of UK logistics operators independently verified against the standard. Of the approximately 3,500 UK 3PLs in the market, only a small handful are B Corps. SCEND's B Impact Assessment score of 93.7 sits comfortably above the 80-point threshold required for certification. The certification covers governance, employee practices, environmental impact, and community engagement, requiring demonstrable outcomes rather than stated policies, and is subject to ongoing reassessment as businesses grow. It sits alongside SCEND's existing ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications adding another layer of external verification to an operational framework that was already being held to account. "There's a version of growth that looks good on a spreadsheet and not much else," said Jack Crumpton, Co-Founder of SCEND. "We didn't set out in 2017 to become a B Corp - we just made decisions we could defend to ourselves. B Corp is the external audit of whether we actually did. The fact that fulfilment as a sector is so under-represented in the certification tells you something about how far it has to go, and we'd rather be part of changing that than waiting for it to change." One shift the certification process made tangible was how SCEND measures success. Revenue growth remained important, but it was no longer the only metric that mattered. Client satisfaction, employee wellbeing, and supplier due diligence became equally central - alongside the development of shared values that could be embedded across the business and felt at every level of it. SCEND worked with B Corp specialists The Pollinators throughout the certification process. "Logistics has such an important role to play in shaping more responsible supply chains, and SCEND's curiosity about the certification translated into practical changes with real impact across the business. Their commitment to doing business with greater transparency, accountability and care really aligned with our own values," said a representative from the firm. The sector isn't typically associated with this kind of accountability. For SCEND, the certification reflects a longer-term commitment to how the business is run, not simply a milestone to mark. What began as a regional operation has grown into a business with international reach, and the same principles that shaped it then are now being held to an internationally recognised standard. B Corp Certification represents a point of accountability for what comes next: growth that holds itself to something.

Lillie&Lee Earns Multiple 2026 Telly Awards for Storytelling, Creative Direction, and Brand Innovation
Lillie&Lee , the wellness brand founded around the intersection of pet care, rescue advocacy, and community-driven storytelling, has been recognized with multiple honors at the 47th Annual Telly Awards , one of the industry’s leading distinctions for excellence in video and television content across all screens. Image Credit: Sara Jane Moore The company received recognition across four categories within the Branded Content division, including Craft-Editing, Craft-Videography/Cinematography, General E-Commerce/Retail, and General Pets & Animals. The wins highlight the growing influence of purpose-driven digital storytelling in shaping modern consumer brands and online communities. Founded by Lee Asher and developed alongside D.J. Gugenheim , Lillie&Lee has built a significant audience through emotionally resonant content centered on rescue animals, wellness education, and everyday care rituals. The company recently expanded its identity into a broader wellness platform serving both pets and their owners. The awarded campaign reflected that evolution, blending cinematic production quality with authentic storytelling rooted in the brand’s mission. According to the company, the project was conceptualized and overseen collaboratively by Lee Asher and D.J. Gugenheim, with former The Dodo creative Eric Ambrosino serving as creative producer and editor. “When I asked my brother to come help me build the wellness company I founded into a larger and more expansive business,” Asher commented, “part of what I was excited about was working with my brother, but more than that, it was the opportunity to utilize his skills as a veteran film producer to help us tell our stories in the most impactful way possible.” “These awards represent more than creative recognition for us,” says Gugenheim. “They validate the idea that audiences respond most strongly to emotional and real storytelling. Everything we create is grounded in real-life experiences with rescue animals, daily wellness routines, and the emotional connection people have with their pets. Eric brought an incredible editorial instinct to the project, and together we wanted to create something that felt cinematic while remaining deeply personal.” Image Credit: Lillie&Lee The Telly Awards, established in 1979, honor excellence in video and television production across branded content, television, streaming, digital media, and social platforms. Over the last several years, Lillie&Lee has emerged as one of the most visible pet wellness brands online, building a community of more than 900,000 followers through rescue-centered storytelling and educational wellness content, making it one of the most followed pet wellness brands. The company’s product line includes a plethora of wellness products designed for both animals and people in the market, with an emphasis on human-grade ingredients and natural sourcing. The recognition also underscores the increasing importance of editorial-quality branded storytelling in the wellness and consumer product sectors, where audiences continue to gravitate toward authenticity, emotional resonance, and mission-led narratives. As Lillie&Lee continues its expansion into digital education, wellness programming, and community engagement, the company says the focus will remain on creating content that connects audiences not just to products, but to the larger philosophy behind the brand. “People can tell when something is manufactured solely for marketing,” Gugenheim added. “What resonates today is substance, consistency, and genuine care. That has always been the foundation of Lillie&Lee.”

4MYTU Reimagines the Carry-On Around the Front Pocket
4MYTU, the precision-engineered travel brand built around how people actually move, enters summer 2026 with a defining statement: the Front Pocket. Designed to eliminate the most persistent friction points of modern travel, the security bin scramble, the boarding-gate repack, and the mid-layover rummage, the Tank Series Front Pocket is the feature that sets 4MYTU apart in a saturated premium market. Most carry-on luggage treats the exterior as an afterthought. 4MYTU treats it as the point. The Front Pocket: Engineered From Behaviour The Front Pocket was not designed from a brief. It was designed from observation. Security checkpoints, hotel-room repacks, overhead-bin moments: these are the intervals where most bags fail their owners. 4MYTU studied them and built directly against them. The result is a structured, full-access front-opening compartment that operates with the logic of a well-organized workspace, not the compromise of a side pouch. Sized for the items that move in and out dozens of times per trip, laptop, documents, cables, liquids, the Front Pocket with Front Opening removes friction from moments most travelers have quietly accepted as unavoidable. The Tank Series in Blush Pink, with its multi-functional handle, leads the summer product story: a seasonally distinctive, editorially sharp expression of a brand whose differentiating idea is, at every level, the Front Pocket. Wheel Performance: Built for the Long Run Beyond the Front Pocket, the Tank Series delivers where most luggage quietly fails: the wheels. In a category where brands have competed on color and price while underinvesting in mechanics, 4MYTU's wheel system is engineered for smooth, near-silent movement across the full lifespan of the bag, not just its first season. Real-world feedback consistently confirms what the engineering promises: clean rolling across cobblestones, marble terminals, and worn airport tile, long after competitor bags begin to catch, rattle, and drag. Wheels are not a commodity detail at 4MYTU. They are a performance story. The 90/10 Trunk: Packing Rethought The standard 50/50 clamshell is so familiar that most travelers have stopped questioning it. 4MYTU did not. The Tank Series Trunk uses a 90/10 structure with Top Opening design, delivering a deeper main compartment and more genuinely usable packing space — a structural advantage that matters most on multi-stop itineraries where reorganizing mid-journey is simply part of the journey. Where a conventional clamshell divides a bag evenly and opens flat, the 90/10 Top Opening keeps the majority of packed contents stable and accessible from above, reducing disruption and making repacking faster. This is not a marginal gain; it is a meaningful structural decision, validated in 4MYTU's own performance data, where frequent travelers consistently recognize its value once the advantage is made clear. Design Recognized. Engineering Validated. The Tank Series was awarded a 2025 IDEA Design Award (Bronze) , one of the most respected design recognitions in the industry. The award reflects the same discipline that drives every product decision at 4MYTU: build from behavior first, then refine until the object earns its place. That discipline extends to materials. Each 4MYTU suitcase offsets approximately 20 kg of CO₂ , and the inner lining incorporates recycled content equivalent to approximately 15 plastic bottles . These are not marketing additions. They are construction decisions. About 4MYTU 4MYTU is a precision-engineered travel brand designing luggage around the realities of modern travel. The Tank Series featuring Front Pocket with Front Opening on carry-on, and 90/10 Top Opening on the Trunk is recognized with a 2025 IDEA Design Award (Bronze) and available now at 4mytu.com .

Tribute Equine Nutrition Addresses Gastric Health and Better Nutrient Absorption with 2026 Formula Upgrades
With research indicating that over 90% of performance horses and half of light-work horses suffer from gastric ulcers, Tribute® Equine Nutrition upgraded the formulas of several products last year. The company proudly announced that these upgrades have expanded to the entire Tribute product line, standardizing its advanced gut-health technologies across nearly all formulas to address a growing industry-wide health concern. “As horse people, we understand the frustration that comes from owners struggling with their horse’s digestive health and performance,” said Nicole Rambo, Ph.D., Equine Nutritionist for Tribute Equine Nutrition. “Science- and research-backed results shouldn't be a luxury. By bringing Constant Comfort® and our new Uptake Technology™ to our entire line of full-intake feeds, we’re supporting the health of horses from the inside out through their daily nutrition.” The 2026 rollout focuses on three pillars of equine physiology: Added Gastric Buffering: The expanded inclusion of Constant Comfort® (a seaweed-derived calcium) provides a natural pH buffer. This formula is designed to stabilize the stomach environment for 2 to 4 hours post-meal, bridging the gap between feedings when horses are most vulnerable. Bio-Available Nutrient Delivery: The debut of Uptake Technology™ introduces a complex matrix of prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, digestive enzymes, and a key addition, phospholipids , which assist in the breakdown of fats to maximize digestive and caloric efficiency, a critical update for hard-keepers and senior horses. Allergen-Conscious Ration Balancers: Responding to the rise in sensitivities, Tribute’s line of ration balancers is now 100% flaxseed-free and molasses-free , which achieves a lower NSC profile. Industry Impact & Availability This update represents one of the largest formula standardizations in Tribute's history. The 2026 enhancements will be phased into all of Tribute’s standard feeds (excluding Ultra GH, Wholesome Blends™, and race lines) throughout the year. About Tribute Equine Nutrition Tribute Equine Nutrition, a brand by Kalmbach Feeds, Inc., is a trusted provider of superior equine nutrition, specializing in fixed-formula products with premium, high-quality ingredients. Designed by Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists, Tribute products are fortified and balanced with essential nutrients to meet a horse’s specific needs.
