BANGKOK, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is elevating the Sakon Nakhon Christmas Star Parade into a festival of global standing under the Signature Event Thailand initiative. The 2025 edition will take place from 20 to 24 December in Tha Rae Municipality, Sakon Nakhon, featuring expanded programming, enhanced storytelling, and immersive lighting and drone displays designed to enrich visitor experiences while supporting sustainable economic benefits for local communities.

Held annually for more than a century, the Christmas Star Parade is a defining cultural tradition of Sakon Nakhon and one of the most distinctive Christian celebrations in Northeastern Thailand. Inspired by the guiding star that marked the birth of Jesus Christ, the procession has evolved into a living expression of spiritual heritage, creative craftsmanship, and shared community identity.

Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said “The Christmas Star Parade reflects the enduring spirit and creativity of the Tha Rae community. By elevating its storytelling and visitor experiences, we aim to introduce this remarkable tradition to wider international audiences while ensuring that local communities benefit meaningfully from tourism. With its strong cultural roots and contemporary creative appeal, the festival has the potential to stand alongside Thailand’s most iconic cultural events on the global stage.”

For 2025, TAT has integrated contemporary creative elements that complement the festival’s spiritual and cultural foundations while strengthening its international appeal. Immersive lighting installations illuminate key heritage settings, including the Cathedral of St Michael the Archangel and Tha Rae’s century-old stone houses, reinforcing the destination’s distinctive historical character.

Visitor experiences extend across the five-day programme through AI-driven photo spots; creative, sustainability-focused workshops; a family-friendly snow experience; and Amazing Thailand–branded illuminated star vehicles. Hands-on DIY activities, such as cupcake decoration, star ornament making, and recycled-material jewellery workshops, encourage active participation while reinforcing community involvement and responsible event practices.

From 20 to 22 December, and continuing through the daytime programme on 23 December, festival activities take place along the walking street and Martino Pavilion, creating a continuous, community-led celebration that blends culture, heritage, and festive life. On 20 December, activities begin at 14.00; on 21, 22, and 23 December, daytime programmes start at 10.00. Visitors can browse local indigo textiles and locally made products, enjoy regional cuisine, and join heritage walks through the historic Christian community.

Throughout these days, creative showcases and performances by local musicians, schools, and youth groups animate the area, with evening variety music programmes beginning from 19.00. A visual highlight on 22 December is the public showcase of large, illuminated star vehicles along Ratcharoen Road from 17.00. Programmes from 20 to 23 December run through the evening and conclude at 22.30.

On the evening of 23 December, the festival reaches its central highlight. Float registration begins at 15.00, followed by formation from 16.00 at the Martino Pavilion. At 18.00, the illuminated star procession is released, with ornate star vehicles parading along the designated route before returning at 20.00. The programme then continues with Christmas performances by local schools and community groups, followed at 20.30 by the official opening ceremony. The evening programme features Christmas blessings, a festive candy shower, gift-giving, a sacred nativity drama, presentations for the best illuminated star floats, variety music performances, and TAT’s special drone light show.

On 24 December, the festival transitions into a more traditional and sacred Christmas Eve observance. The handheld star procession gathers from 18.00 at the Martino Pavilion and departs at 18.30 for a full circuit around the Cathedral of St Michael the Archangel before entering the church. The evening continues with Christmas Mass, followed by a sacred nativity performance by local youth at the Grotto of the Infant Jesus. In keeping with Christmas Eve tradition, the programme concludes following the completion of religious services.

By positioning the Sakon Nakhon Christmas Star Parade as part of Thailand’s growing portfolio of culturally distinctive festivals, TAT aims to strengthen global awareness of the country’s diverse cultural landscape. This momentum builds on the international recognition of “Songkran in Thailand” as a UNESCO-inscribed cultural heritage and the growing global appeal of “Loi Krathong” as one of Asia’s most captivating light festivals, reinforcing Thailand’s commitment to sharing culturally rich, community-rooted experiences with the world in meaningful and memorable ways.

Iron Software successfully hosted Microsoft-sponsored virtual event, delivering expert insights on .NET 10 migration, AI-powered development, and performance optimization to developers across Asia-Pacific.

CHICAGO and CHIANG MAI, Thailand, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Iron Software, a global developer tools company headquartered in Chicago with a major engineering hub in Chiang Mai, Thailand, successfully hosted .NET Conf Thailand 2025 on December 10, 2025, as part of its role as a Microsoft .NET 10 launch partner for the Asia-Pacific region. The Microsoft-sponsored virtual event connected developers across the region with the latest .NET 10 advancements, AI workflows, and document automation capabilities—including best practices for using C# to generate PDF documents at enterprise scale.

The partnership underscores Iron Software’s decade-long commitment to advancing enterprise-grade developer tools, including its industry-leading C# generate PDF technology through IronPDF.

“Being selected as a Microsoft .NET 10 launch partner validates our decade-long investment in building developer tools that enterprises truly rely on,” said Jacob Mellor, Chief Technology Officer at Iron Software. “Microsoft doesn’t choose partners lightly—they select ISVs whose technology helps customers solve complex, real-world problems. Our C# generate PDF capabilities are a perfect example of how .NET 10 is transforming document automation at scale.”

Event Highlights: Three Expert Sessions

The event featured presentations from three Iron Software engineers, covering the strategic vision behind .NET 10, practical migration guidance, and performance optimization insights relevant to developers who use C# to generate PDF documents and process other file formats.

Jacob Mellor, CTO opened the event with a forward-looking session on .NET, AI, and WebAssembly. Mellor emphasized WebAssembly’s transformative potential, noting that .NET 10’s improved WebAssembly compilation means C# code can now run anywhere—in browsers, on servers, and across devices—without requiring runtime installation. He also shared Iron Software’s approach to AI-augmented development, describing how the company uses multiple AI tools in coordinated workflows to accelerate development while maintaining engineering oversight.

“AI is like going from a typewriter to a mega-typewriter,” Mellor explained. “It doesn’t replace the software engineer—it extends their capacity. A small team of smart people can achieve much more than a big team ever could.”

Shadman Majid, Engineering and Support Manager delivered a comprehensive live demonstration of .NET 10 migration, walking attendees through the complete process of upgrading a Blazor application from .NET 8 to .NET 10. Key migration steps covered included installing Visual Studio 2026, updating target frameworks across projects, managing NuGet package dependencies, replacing Swagger with OpenAPI, and adopting the new streamlined .slnx solution file format.

“Migration is always a big pain if not done carefully and systematically,” Majid noted. “But following these steps, you can do the migration very easily. Once you migrate to .NET 10, you’ll definitely get a lot of benefits.”

Jim Fry, Sales Engineer closed the event with a deep dive into .NET 10’s performance improvements and their ROI implications. Fry presented custom benchmarking results demonstrating up to 27% performance improvements in collection operations—critical for applications that C# generate PDF documents at high volume, iterating through thousands of pages and processing complex content.

“It’s not one silver bullet—it’s hundreds of fairly significant performance improvements that compound together,” Fry explained. “The real business impact is lower cost and higher throughput on the same infrastructure. IronPDF and .NET 10 are a powerful combination for document processing.”

A Milestone for Microsoft’s APAC Ecosystem

Iron Software’s inclusion among Microsoft’s select Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) highlights its pivotal role in shaping the future of digital transformation. Its developer libraries—including IronPDF, IronOCR, and IronXL—are used by enterprises globally, including the majority of Fortune 500 companies. With IronPDF, developers can C# generate PDF files from HTML, URLs, images, and more with just a few lines of code.

Through this partnership, Microsoft ensures that .NET 10 developers have immediate access to reliable, production-ready tools to automate document workflows with enterprise-grade reliability.

What This Means for Enterprise Customers

  • Validated Technology Stack – Microsoft’s endorsement confirms Iron Software’s tools meet the highest standards for performance, security, and Azure compatibility.
  • Accelerated Time-to-Market – Developers can integrate C# generate PDF features in days, not months, with seamless deployment across cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
  • Premier Support Path – As a strategic Microsoft ISV partner, Iron Software maintains direct engineering escalation channels with Microsoft for coordinated enterprise support.
  • Roadmap Alignment – Early access to Microsoft’s roadmap ensures Iron Software’s products evolve in sync with future .NET and Azure releases.

“The .NET 10 release represents a massive leap forward for developers worldwide, and we’re proud to help them harness its full potential through our document processing libraries,” said Cameron Rimington, CEO at Iron Software. “Whether teams need to C# generate PDF reports, invoices, or complex documents, our tools amplify what’s possible with .NET 10.”

Chiang Mai: A Strategic Hub for Microsoft’s APAC Expansion

Iron Software‘s engineering hub in Chiang Mai continues to play a crucial role in supporting Microsoft’s regional ecosystem. By hosting .NET Conf Thailand 2025, Iron Software extended its tradition of annual .NET meetups, creating opportunities for developers to learn about new Microsoft releases, performance improvements, and AI-driven innovation.

“For us, .NET Conf Thailand isn’t just a conference—it’s about community,” added Mellor. “Each year, we bring together engineers to explore the latest Microsoft technologies and discover how C# generate PDF tools can make development faster, smarter, and more connected.”

The appointment represents an important step for CTicket as it expands its role in supporting large-scale international events in Vietnam, highlighting the increasing capacity of local digital infrastructure to handle high-demand live experiences.

Before stepping into esports, CTicket had already handled some of Vietnam’s most sought-after international entertainment events, including concerts and fanmeetings featuring G-Dragon, Daesung, Kim Jae Joong, YooNa… and other global stars. These events attracted significant traffic spikes yet consistently showcased CTicket’s system stability, secure digital ticketing, and smooth check-in processes.

The T1 partnership, however, marked a new milestone. When tickets for the December 2025 fanmeeting were released, demand surged across Vietnam’s massive gaming community. Despite the intense traffic, the platform remained fully stable, with several local media outlets highlighting the smooth ticket-purchasing experience during one of the country’s most high-pressure ticket releases. The outcome was widely seen as a positive signal of Vietnam’s growing technical readiness to support international-scale esports events.

Building on this momentum, CTicket launched Vietnam’s first Esports-standard ticketing feature. This innovation is tailored to the complex needs of professional tournaments, supporting multi-phase ticket releases, role-based seating structures, comprehensive anti-fraud safeguards, scalable venue check-ins, and international payment options. These features align the platform with capabilities typically found in mature markets like South Korea and Singapore.

With a fast-growing digital audience and one of Southeast Asia’s largest gaming communities, Vietnam is emerging as a competitive destination for international live events. By offering expanding capabilities that span both major entertainment and professional esports, CTicket is now positioned as the key technology partner for regional organizers seeking a reliable, scalable, and localized ticketing solution, playing a pivotal role in shaping Vietnam’s future as a premier event hub in Southeast Asia.

ISCA Unveils Bold Plan to Future-Proof Singapore’s Small and Medium-Sized Accounting Practices

By
Advertorial Desk
-

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 December 2025 – Small and Medium-Sized Accounting Practices (SMPs) are the backbone of Singapore’s business community, supporting thousands of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. Of the 761 Accounting Entities in Singapore, nearly all (98%) are SMPs with 100 or fewer staff, and most (70%) are micro practices with 10 staff or less. However, many SMPs today face mounting pressures: operating in isolation, facing tough competition, struggling to find talent, and keeping up with fast-changing technology. To stay relevant, SMPs need to change.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) unveiled a landmark strategy paper today, laying out a practical roadmap to help Singapore’s SMPs thrive in the future. Developed by ISCA’s Strengthening SMP Taskforce, the paper highlights how the sector is growing, but also how the rise of tiny firms is making competition fiercer and attracting talent harder. Many young professionals see limited career prospects in smaller firms.

Mr Koh Wee Kwang, Co-Chair of the Strengthening SMP Taskforce and ISCA Council Member, said: “The SMP sector is a vital pillar of our business ecosystem. Yet many firms continue to operate in isolation amid mounting pressures on margins, talent, and technology. This roadmap is about helping SMPs move from survival to strength, through scale, collaboration, and a shared vision for the future.”

5 key moves to help SMPs succeed

The paper sets out five practical recommendations to help SMPs grow, innovate and compete globally:

  • Work together, not alone: Encourage firms to join forces, share resources, and tackle staff shortages and boost efficiency through shared services.
  • Build trust and visibility: Introduce a digital badge system so firms can show off their strengths and achievements, making it easier for businesses and talent to spot quality providers.
  • Embrace technology: Pilot new tech solutions to make work faster and smarter, and attract the next generation of accountants.
  • Go global: Help SMPs reach overseas markets through Professional Services Centres, opening doors for cross-border business, creating demand for Singapore professional services sector.
  • Grow new talent: Launch programmes with universities and partners to attract graduates, offering clear career paths and development opportunities.

If these are put into action, SMPs will be better equipped to weather financial challenges, adopt new technologies, attract and keep talented people, and boost Singapore’s reputation as a hub for professional services.

Mr Helmi Bin Ali Bin Talib, Co-Chair of the Taskforce and ISCA Council Member, added: “Transformation starts with a change in mindset. Consolidation and collaboration are no longer threats to independence, but pathways to relevance. We must move away from the idea of doing it alone and embrace new ways to working together that allow firms to scale up, invest in innovation, and attract the next generation of professionals.”

The paper also calls for a fresh look at firm ownership rules and new ways for SMPs to team up, including leveraging shared services for manpower and digital tools, without compromising quality or standards. It also advocates the creation of a digital badge system to recognise firm credibility and raise the visibility of SMPs within Singapore’s professional services landscape.

Ms Tan Fang Yi, Divisional Director, Accountancy and Professional Development Division, Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority said: “ACRA thanks ISCA for initiating discussions on SMPs to address the challenges they face. We will continue to work closely with ISCA and relevant government agencies to strengthen Singapore’s accountancy sector, and collaborate with ISCA and the profession through the Implementation Committee for Accountancy Workforce Development (ICAWD) to build a sustainable pipeline for the accountancy profession. Our shared goal is a sector that is underpinned by good audit quality and a skilled and adaptable workforce.”

ISCA’s overseas Professional Services Centres will help SMPs connect with international markets and grow beyond Singapore.

“ISCA’s overseas Professional Services Centres serve as vital bridges for Singapore-based firms to expand their presence regionally. They also enable global companies to leverage Singapore as a trusted regional business hub, providing easy access to quality professional services that support their business expansion in the region,” said Ms Junie Fo, Vice President and Head, Professional Services, Singapore Economic Development Board.

Looking ahead

The strategy paper sets ambitious targets for the next decade, aiming for more high-quality jobs, deeper expertise, and a stronger pipeline of talent. With two strategic thrusts and five key recommendations, ISCA hopes to spark real change and keep SMPs at the heart of Singapore’s professional services sector.
