Admission is free.

At the heart of TCS 2026 is the City Wide Program, where the experience itself—encountering creativity while exploring Tokyo—becomes the content.

Ginza — “A City That Inherits Tradition and Creates Tomorrow Through Continuous Evolution”: strolling and hands-on programs across cultural and commercial venues.
Shibuya — “A Crossroads at the Cutting Edge, Where Trends Converge”: urban fashion-driven initiatives reflecting the district’s leading-edge energy.

Nihonbashi — “Nihonbashi Open Craft”: craftsmanship as living culture, experienced while walking the neighborhood.
Haneda — “FUTURE BLOOM JAPAN — Traveling with Cherry Blossoms Through Japan’s Beauty and Craftsmanship”: exhibitions and experiences reframing regional skills and culture at Japan’s gateway.
Harajuku — “Harajuku, Where Street Cultures Intersect”: participatory programs that spark fashion-and-culture encounters as you explore.

Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week, the world’s first vintage fashion week, features a Vintage Market with approximately 100 shops and fashion shows highlighting the “historical context” and “stories” embodied in vintage garments. Focus Exhibition “Tokyo Trace” explores the traces of Tokyo embedded within a designer’s creative practice; its inaugural edition spotlights “NOMARHYTHM TEXTILE.”

PORT VILA, Vanuatu, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global financial market is expanding rapidly, with more women entering and building long-term careers in traditionally complex and high-pressure industries like CFDs. Today, women in the financial sector are contributing to the reshaping of the standards of stability, success, and self-worth.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Vantage launches “Her Vision,” a special interview series honoring outstanding female partners and experts in the financial market. This series explores the discipline, adaptability, and sustainable thinking behind their professional journeys, highlighting how women are positively impacting the financial sector.

Spotlight on Minh Anh and Cao Hang: Leadership Beyond Revenue

Minh Anh, a Vantage IB partner, entered the financial sector by chance but has gradually shaped it into a serious, long-term career. Initially drawn by curiosity, her experience in finance revealed that it required strategic clarity and disciplined risk management, aligning with her strengths. Over time, she realized that success in finance is not just about trading; it’s about building trust, emotional control, and a structured approach to investment.

Minh Anh notes that the role of an Introducing Broker (IB) is often misunderstood. It’s not just about referring clients; it involves creating strategies, providing training, and fostering a disciplined trading community. Her focus is on sustainable growth, helping clients develop steady, informed trading habits based on risk awareness.

Similarly, Cao Hang’s journey into the financial sector highlights the broader scope of leadership. What began as an accidental entry into finance soon evolved into a purposeful career focused on long-term strategies and leadership. Cao Hang believes that true success in finance is not just about revenue, but about guiding others, building trust, and managing risk effectively. Leadership, she shares, is about helping the community grow and develop sustainable financial habits, not simply chasing short-term gains.

Minh Anh and Cao Hang’s stories reflect how women in finance are redefining independence—not only in financial terms but also in emotional discipline and leadership in their communities. They balance personal and professional lives, showcasing how women are contributing to both personal growth and community development, thus shaping a broader definition of success.

Vantage’s Role in Shaping the Future of Women in Finance

Through “Her Vision,” Vantage continues to spotlight professionals like Minh Anh and Cao Hang, who are turning risk into strategy and opportunity into sustainable, long-term value. These stories are a tribute to the evolving role of women in finance, not only highlighting their achievements but also sparking a broader conversation about how women are shaping the future of the industry.

HOUSTON, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As winter finally fades, yards across much of the U.S. are slowly coming back to life. In northern and Midwestern states, melting snow often reveals piles of leaves, overgrown shrubs, and lawns blanketed with dead grass. For many homeowners, spring yard work quickly turns into a major cleanup challenge.

Yard maintenance usually involves three main tasks: clearing hard surfaces, removing thatch from lawns, and trimming hedges and shrubs. This spring, VEVOR is highlighting three products designed to tackle each of these chores—from patios and driveways to lawns and vertical greenery—each earning high praise from users.

Hard Surface Cleanup: Push Lawn Sweeper, Five Times Faster for Driveways

The first challenge of spring yard work often comes from patios, sidewalks, and driveways. Traditional brooms require tedious back-and-forth sweeping, often leaving debris behind in cracks, while dust clouds can affect family and pets.

The VEVOR walk-behindhand-push floor sweeper tackles this problem head-on. With manual operation, it sweeps up to five times faster than a traditional broom. Its 25.6-inch wide brush covers large areas in a single pass, and the 5-gallon collection container minimizes trips to empty debris. Adjustable handles and foldable design make storage simple and convenient.

“This has been one of my favorite purchases,” commented Joe, a VEVOR user, “It picks up both large debris and fine dust in a single pass, saving hours of work. It’s durable, easy to empty, and even my 78-year-old father loves using it!”

Let the Lawn “Breathe”: Push Lawn Sweeper Collects About 80% of Thatch

Once hard surfaces are cleared, the real heart of yard work begins—the lawn. After winter, lawns are often covered with a layer of dead grass and leaves (thatch). Too much thatch can block new growth and create a breeding ground for pests and disease.

The VEVOR push lawn sweeper features four thick, densely packed rotating brushes that collect roughly 80% of surface debris in a single pass, with a 26-inch sweeping width. Its 7-cubic-foot collection bag reduces frequent emptying, and the brush height adjusts without tools to handle different lawn conditions. With its efficiency and ease of use, the sweeper helps lawns truly “breathe,” creating the perfect environment for new spring growth.

Homeowner Carrie shares:

“I used it to clean one acre of lawn, and it took only a quarter of the time compared to raking. No fuel, no engine to worry about breaking down. Assembly was easy too—highly recommended.”

Vertical Trimming: 52CC Multi-Function Trimmer Handles Hedges and High Branches

After clearing the ground and the lawn, hedges and shrubs become the yard’s focal point. After a winter of growth, these plants need proper trimming to restore a neat, structured look.

The VEVOR 52CC 6-in-1 multi-function trimmer features a two-stroke engine, a 270° rotating head, and an extendable shaft to reach high branches without climbing. By switching attachments, it can function as a hedge trimmer, grass trimmer, brush cutter, chainsaw, and more—covering everything from hedge shaping to cutting small tree branches. Its multi-function design boosts efficiency while restoring a clean, polished look to the yard’s vertical spaces.

User Jeni says:

“This trimmer handles almost everything we need in the yard—thinning fence lines, cutting small trees, trimming weeds. It’s heavy-duty, easy to switch attachments, and highly recommended.”

VEVOR: Pro-Level Performance Without the Pro-Level Price

From hard surface cleanup to lawn dethatching to hedge and branch trimming, VEVOR’s three spring promotion tools cover the full spectrum of yard maintenance, making each task easier and more manageable for homeowners.

“Maintaining a yard in spring doesn’t have to be a struggle,” says VEVOR Brand Director Gavin Wu. “Our goal is to give families tools that make yard work efficient, effortless, and even enjoyable. With professional-level performance at a price everyone can afford, we hope to help more households welcome spring with clean, healthy yards—and a sense of pride in their outdoor space.”

Explore VEVOR’s full range of spring tools today and turn yard work into a faster, easier, and more satisfying weekend project.

PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ddrops®, the No. 1 selling infant Vitamin D brand in North America and a globally trusted nutritional supplement brand proudly made in Canada, recently participated in the TikTok Shop Bazar Raya, a four-day festive shopping event held from 5 to 8 March 2026 at IOI City Mall, Putrajaya. The bazar featured more than 80 brands across healthcare, fashion, beauty, home, and lifestyle categories, providing a vibrant platform for Ddrops® to connect with families and individuals across Malaysia.

Ddrops® showcased its high-quality nutritional supplements, including Vitamin D3, Vitamin A & D3, Vitamin D3 & K2, probiotics, and calcium, emphasizing their role in supporting daily nutritional needs and overall wellness for people of all ages. Visitors also learned that simple, consistent supplementation can help maintain essential nutrient levels, especially during Ramadan when fasting naturally supports metabolism and overall wellness. With the combined benefits of fasting and Ddrops® supplements, families can welcome Hari Raya with renewed energy and vitality.

Founded to provide simpler and safer daily nutritional support, Ddrops® is committed to helping families maintain balanced nutrition through pure, effective, and easy-to-use supplements. All products are free from sugar, artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, and common allergens, manufactured in GMP-certified facilities in Canada, and carry multiple certifications, including NPN, NSF, SGS, USDA Organic, NPRA (KKM) and HMA Halal, giving consumers confidence in their safety and quality.

At the bazar, the Ddrops® team highlighted the convenience of delivering Vitamin D3 in just one drop and engaged with families to understand their nutritional challenges. Many parents noted that in Malaysia, where seasonal viral infections and air pollution can affect overall health, children may not always get enough Vitamin D from sunlight alone. They appreciated that Ddrops® supplements are made with pure Vitamin D3 and organic MCT oil, offering a safe, odorless, and easy addition to their daily routines with Halal certification and KKM approval. Parents shared, “When kids are healthy, the whole family feels more at ease.”

Beyond consumer engagement, Ddrops® partnered with over 300 creators and affiliates at the event to expand awareness and education about nutritional wellness across Malaysia. The brand not only shared its expertise but also encouraged creators to bring these safe, high-quality nutritional solutions to more families. As always, Ddrops® continues its mission to promote everyday nutritional wellness, helping families and individuals build stronger immune systems, maintain proper nutrition, and lead balanced, vibrant lives.

Rising vendor complexity, tighter investment scrutiny, and growing expectations for measurable outcomes are reshaping how technology leaders across APAC approach IT spending. At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 and 18 at the W Brisbane, Info-Tech Research Group will spotlight Value-Driven IT as a core programming focus, equipping CIOs with practical strategies to optimise contracts, strengthen governance, and align IT investments directly to business priorities.

SYDNEY, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Technology leaders across Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region are operating in an environment where optimisation now carries as much weight as innovation. Boards and executive teams are demanding clearer visibility into cost, risk exposure, and strategic alignment. Without embedded value-based governance, organisations risk portfolio sprawl, duplicated spend, and investments that drift from measurable outcomes.

Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 and 18 at the W Brisbane, will spotlight Value-Driven IT as a core programming focus, equipping CIOs with practical strategies to optimise contracts, strengthen governance, and align IT investments directly to business priorities.

At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, March 17 – 18 at the W Brisbane, sessions focused on value-driven IT will provide attendees with structured approaches to embedding value validation into governance and decision-making. By aligning IT services and investments to clearly defined business objectives, organisations can improve resource allocation, manage risk more effectively, and ensure technology decisions remain anchored to measurable outcomes.

“Value-driven IT is about clarity and discipline in how decisions are made,” says George Khreish, Managing Partner at Info-Tech Research Group, APAC. “Leaders are facing tighter budgets and greater scrutiny, and governance is becoming central to how investments are justified. At LIVE 2026 in Brisbane, we’ll examine how CIOs can strengthen governance across vendor contracts, strategic planning, and security investments.”

Featured Value-Driven Sessions at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane
As part of this agenda focus, Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will feature expert-led sessions designed to help leaders move from reactive cost management to structured value optimisation:

• Master High-Value Contracts, Optimise Costs, and Reduce Risks
  Many organisations lack the negotiation frameworks and benchmarking insight required to manage vendor agreements effectively. This session demonstrates how structured contract review, price benchmarking, and negotiation tactics can reduce commercial risk and optimise vendor spend. 
• Build a Business-Aligned IT Strategy
  Aligning IT initiatives to enterprise priorities remains challenging for many organisations across APAC. Attendees will be guided through building a goals cascade that connects business objectives to IT initiatives, improving prioritisation clarity and strengthening portfolio transparency.
• Maximise Your Investment in Microsoft Security Tools
  This keynote will outline new insights to help security leaders assess their current security tooling, identify underutilised capabilities, eliminate duplication costs, and determine where consolidation or alternative solutions strengthen overall defence posture.

Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Brisbane will bring together CIOs, senior directors, and IT leaders from across Australia, New Zealand, and the broader APAC region for a two-day, research-driven event focused on translating strategy into execution. With a tactical agenda designed by practitioners, the flagship conference provides attendees with direct access to Info-Tech’s latest research, resources, analyst expertise, and peer insight to help them address real-world challenges and lead IT with clarity and financial discipline.
