The WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event Will Feature a Live Audience in NYC and
Air Globally on TikTok February 28

BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Orangetheory Fitness and comedian Hannah Berner today announced the breakout performer’s next comedy event: WTF is OTF?! On Feb. 28, Berner will take the stage for a roast of the fitness industry and the many clichés and fads that come along with it—ultimately poking fun at all the “fitness WTFs” out there. The event will take place in the heart of New York City and livestream on TikTok.

“This WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event is going to be epic. Expect laughs, roasts and maybe a little sweat,'” said Hannah Berner. “I know firsthand what it’s like to be in a bit of a fitness limbo, and all of the fads swirling around at the start of the year don’t help. What Orangetheory helped me to realize is that sweating it out doesn’t have to be too serious, and this partnership proves that while answering all of our biggest fitness WTFs.”

Nearly half of Americans set out to improve their fitness this year. Yet, we also know that an estimated 80% of people part ways with their resolutions after mid-February,” stated Ellen Latham, creator and co-founder of Orangetheory Fitness. “At a time when many are feeling defeated, we hope a bit of lighthearted fun can remind people that we’re all in this together. And that ultimately, what matters most in a sea of fleeting fads and unrealistic expectations is moving in ways that feel healthy and right for each person.”

The WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event will take place in Orangetheory’s Manhattan-East 39th Street studio on Feb. 28, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. Following the set, attendees will join Hannah Berner in a one-hour Orangetheory workout so everyone can finally answer the most anticipated question of the night…”WTF is OTF?!” Registration for the in-person event will open online on Feb. 21 at 12:00 pm EST via the registration link here; spots are limited.

For those who can’t attend in person, WTF is OTF?! will also livestream on Berner’s TikTok channel, @hannah_berner, when she takes the stage at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 28. Fans can tune in to the comedy set right from home, and join the conversation on social by sharing their biggest “fitness WTFs” via the hashtag #WTFisOTF.

EU Olive Oil: Promoting European Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the Plant Based Expo in New York

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Following the success of the June event dedicated to journalists, opinion leaders and food professionals, the EU Olive Oil project returned to New York to participate in the Plant Based Expo (Sept. 11-12), the benchmark event in the United States for 100% plant-based products.

The three-year EU Olive Oil program, promoted by the O.P. Associazione Olivicola Cosentina and co-financed by the European Union, was conceived with the aim of promoting the consumption of extra virgin olive oil produced in Europe. During the New York trade show, visitors had a unique opportunity to explore the distinctive characteristics of extra virgin olive oil, appreciating its organoleptic qualities and discovering its many health-promoting properties.

To better engage the audience, daily cooking demos were held, during which the oil could be tasted in various culinary preparations. These demonstrations were not only able to enhance the unique flavor of the oil, but also demonstrated its extraordinary versatility in cooking.

During the event, restaurant professionals, retailers, distributors and buyers had the opportunity to receive valuable advice on how to select a high-quality, safe and obtained through a sustainable agribusiness production system. This system respects ecological and economic principles, minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals and optimizing fertilization, in line with toxicological best practices.

“Our presence at the Plant Based Expo in New York,” says Pierpaola Occhiuto, president of the O.P. Associazione Olivicola Cosentina, “offered us the opportunity to educate American consumers about the importance of the quality of raw materials and to promote a healthy and balanced diet, in which extra virgin olive oil occupies a central role. In addition, it was an opportunity to tell the indissoluble link between olive growing and the land, a cultural and human heritage that for many European countries represents a value to be handed down from generation to generation.”

With a consumption of 365.9 thousand tons and a total value of $1,494.3 million (UN Comtrade data), the United States is confirmed as the main non-EU market for olive oil. In recent years, this product has become increasingly important on American tables, reflecting a growing trend toward a quest for high-quality foods.

www.euoliveoil.eu

The O.P. Associazione Olivicola Cosentina Soc.Coop.a.r.l. is an organization of Olive Producers in the Province of Cosenza that has been playing an active role in the Cosenza area since 1982, the date of its establishment, through a dense network of actions in support of its members.

Gathering within itself the presence of about 7100 member producers, one can easily infer the deep rootedness of the Association with the territory: all this makes it one of the most representative associations in the sector, taking care with scrupulous attention every aspect of the olive-growing activity both from the technical-productive point of view and from the economic-commercial one. The Association, in this sense, acts as an efficient intermediary and bridge between its members and the distribution channels.

Its work, in fact, moves in the light of the pursuit of a single relevant macro-objective: to enhance olive production and the careful and conscious consumption of the product, through its protection and promotion.

Spinzo’s Follow-the-Fraudster Technology Puts Sports Teams at Ease, and Keeps Fraudsters at Bay

Published

on

By

SAINT JOHN, NB, Sept. 20, 2024 /CNW/ – Spinzo, a leading provider of customized ticket sales solutions for sports teams, venues, and events, continues its leadership role in ticket sales fraud prevention. Trusted by some of the world’s most notable sports teams and venues, the technology keeps fraudsters out and legitimate buyers in, making for a more sustainable marketplace.

Unique Forms of Credit Card Fraud

Spinzo is keenly focused on preventing a new type of credit card fraud, one in which fraudsters get an account with a digital bank and issue dozens of credit cards under fake aliases. The purpose of this scheme is to evade ticket limits and scoop up all the ticket sales inventory. Sophisticated bad actors will also use VPNs and continuous cookie-clearing technology to evade most systems.

Spinzo addresses this by analyzing purchase trends and clustering transactions by the issuing bank of credit cards. When a digital bank’s cards are being used in high frequency, it is noted as a potential fraudster. Spinzo’s follow-the-fraudster technology can then capture all the cards used by the bad actor, in addition to other identifying factors. Spinzo also contacts digital banks directly to report these fraudsters and selectively blocks digital card types of high fraud prevalence.

Cottage Industry Brokers

Some people buy and re-sell tickets as a main gig or side hustle, but these can sometimes be classified as “fraud” in cases where they break impersonation laws while blatantly ignoring terms and conditions of ticket sales buy-flows. Spinzo has captured the identities of numerous brokers who often use dozens of aliases to purchase tickets across North America with the purpose of reselling at a higher price.

Spinzo’s follow-the-broker technology compares various elements of broker behavior, including the use of the same credit card for tickets at many different sports teams within the same day. Once discovered, Spinzo continues to allow the broker to browse and attempt purchases, all while collecting more information about the broker and their payment methods.

When banning brokers, Spinzo goes beyond email address and phone number. It leverages other identifying and clustering techniques to put an end to this behavior.

Stolen Cards

Spinzo handles stolen cards with ease, given its heavy use of 3D Secure technology, requiring cardholders to be present on a device that they would normally use. In the absence of that, two-factor authentication is used, run by the issuing bank. Interestingly, some credit card thieves evade these systems, which is why Spinzo selectively performs additional address verifications in suspicious circumstances.

$0 Invoiced for Chargebacks

Spinzo does not invoice sports teams or venues for chargebacks, whether tagged as “fraudulent”, “product not received”, or “product unacceptable”. This puts Spinzo in a whole new league when it comes to sanctity of ticket fund flows.

Spinzo remains committed to driving innovation in the ticketing industry, particularly in the area of fraud prevention.

About Spinzo
Spinzo provides creative ticket sales solutions that are trusted by the world’s most prominent sports teams, venues, and events. The promotional sales platform powers group ticketing, theme nights, community engagements, ticket distribution, fundraisers, and flex plans. It is heavily relied upon by sales, marketing, and operations departments in the live events industry. Spinzo also provides strategic growth consulting, assists in revenue-driving activities, and manages the industry-popular Ticket Playbook community with regular learning sessions.
