Atlantic City casino industry contributed nearly $120,000 during inaugural Meal on a Mission event hosted by Hard Rock Atlantic City, expanding efforts to combat food insecurity across South Jersey

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Atlantic City casino industry and the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) reached a major milestone in their ongoing effort to fight food insecurity, announcing the Casinos Unite Against Hunger campaign has raised nearly $400,000 since its launch in May 2025, which is the equivalent of providing more than 1.2 million meals to those in need.

The milestone was reached during CFBNJ’s inaugural “Meal on a Mission: A Chef’s Tableside Experience,” held on June 12 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. The event brought together community leaders, acclaimed chefs, local businesses and supporters committed to addressing food insecurity throughout South Jersey.

“Meal on a Mission is a powerful example of what can happen when the Atlantic City community comes together around a common goal,” said George Goldhoff, president, Casino Association of New Jersey (CANJ). “Through our partnership with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Atlantic City’s casino industry is helping to create a meaningful, lasting impact for our families facing food insecurity throughout our region.”

During Meal on a Mission, the Atlantic City casino industry collectively donated nearly $120,000 to CFBNJ. This included a $50,000 donation from the CANJ, along with a $50,000 donation from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in honor of its eighth anniversary. The inaugural event was made possible by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City as Host and Culinary Visionary Sponsor, CANJ as Culinary Visionary Sponsor, Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City as Executive Chef Sponsor, and Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa and Ocean Casino Resort as Epicurean Sponsors. Chefs and restaurants from Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Caesars Entertainment Properties, Golden Nugget Atlantic City, and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City participated in the event.

Casinos Unite Against Hunger is a collaborative initiative launched in May 2025 by the Atlantic City casino industry in partnership with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey to address food insecurity in communities across South Jersey. In addition to financial support, casino employees have volunteered with CFBNJ initiatives and participated in community outreach efforts. During the 2025 holiday season, the industry participated in a mobile food pantry in Ventnor and helped provide 1,200 turkeys to families in need. In 2026, in addition to sponsoring Meal on a Mission, Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City donated $20,000 to support the CFBNJ, and the MGM Resorts Foundation donated $10,000.

“Every day, too many individuals and families around New Jersey face difficult choices between paying bills, keeping a roof over their heads, and putting food on the table,” said Elizabeth McCarthy, President & CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ). “We are incredibly grateful for the support of organizations like the Casino Association of New Jersey as we work to eliminate hunger in the Garden State.”

CFBNJ is New Jersey’s largest anti-hunger, anti-poverty organization, providing food to more than 800 local food assistance organizations across 15 counties and connecting neighbors with resources that support long-term stability.

BERLIN, Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneOdio concluded its showcase at IFA 2026, held from September 4–8 in Berlin. At Hall 8.2, Booth 217, the professional audio brand welcomed visitors, DJs, creators, and industry professionals for hands-on product experiences, live DJ performances, and interactive activities.

This year’s showcase highlighted OneOdio’s focus on professional audio and versatile listening experiences, with Studio Max 2 and A70 Gen 2 taking center stage.

Professional Audio Takes Center Stage

Designed for DJs, creators, and audio professionals, Studio Max 2 showcased OneOdio’s latest approach to professional wireless audio. Powered by third-generation Rapid Wireless+ technology, it delivers 9ms ultra-low latency and up to 120 hours of battery life, combining the precision needed for professional performance and music production with greater wireless freedom.

Alongside it, A70 Gen 2 introduced the latest evolution of OneOdio’s million-unit-selling A70 platform. Combining wired and wireless flexibility with LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, and up to 72 hours of wireless playback, it delivers high-quality sound while moving easily between DJ practice, home studio sessions, gaming, commuting, and everyday listening.

Together, the two products reflected OneOdio’s continued focus on professional performance, high-quality sound, and flexible listening across different scenarios.

Music, Energy, and Connection

Beyond product demonstrations, live DJ performances brought energy to the OneOdio booth throughout the five-day event, allowing visitors to experience its headphones in a real-world performance environment.

Throughout IFA 2026, OneOdio connected with DJs, creators, music enthusiasts, and industry professionals from different markets. Hands-on listening sessions and conversations offered valuable insights into how users increasingly move between professional creation, entertainment, and everyday listening.

The Evolution of Professional Audio

The audio market is increasingly shaped by the convergence of professional performance and everyday versatility. DJs and creators still demand accurate sound, reliable connectivity, and low latency, while modern listening habits increasingly require wireless freedom, longer battery life, and seamless transitions between work, entertainment, and mobility.

This shift is expanding the role of professional headphones beyond traditional studios and DJ booths. Products such as Studio Max 2 and A70 Gen 2 reflect this evolution by combining professional audio capabilities with the flexibility required by today’s increasingly diverse listening environments.

Continuing the Journey in Sound

The connections and feedback gathered at IFA 2026 will continue to inform OneOdio’s product development as the brand explores new ways to serve professionals, creators, and everyday listeners worldwide.

Taiwan-Founded Asia Talent Platform Cake Draws 20,000+ Job Seekers as AI and Cross-Border Careers Take Center Stage

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cake, a Taiwan-founded regional talent platform in Asia, hosted the Cake 2026 Career Festival on September 12 at Taipei World Trade Center, bringing together more than 150 leading international employers and technology companies and nearly 6,000 job opportunities. The event attracted over 20,000 job seekers for on-site recruitment and networking.

Nearly 70% of registered attendees had more than three years of work experience, while software and hardware engineering professionals together accounted for 42% of registrants, underscoring the event’s strong appeal among experienced technology talent.

Held under the theme “Re-skill in AI,” this year’s Career Festival also introduced Cake’s first AI Career Fair Guide, alongside a broader suite of AI-powered career services designed to connect online career exploration and preparation with in-person employer engagement.

AI Hiring Expands Across Industries as Cross-Border Careers Gain Momentum

One of the clearest hiring trends at this year’s event was the expansion of AI-related hiring across a wider range of industries and applications. Participating employers collectively offered more than 100 AI-related openings.

Viewed through NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s “AI Five-Layer Cake” framework, nearly 20 participating companies represented key parts of the AI ecosystem, spanning power and energy, chips and hardware, AI infrastructure, and applications. These included Schneider Electric, Nanya Technology, Vertiv, and Health2Sync.

The range of career opportunities is also expanding into emerging industries and overseas markets. The Taiwan Space Agency joined the event alongside the Industrial Development Administration’s aerospace supply chain and communications talent initiative. Japanese payments company PayPay Corporation recruited in Taiwan for the first time.

Employers Compete for Talent Through Higher Pay and Long-Term Development

As competition for talent intensifies, employers are differentiating their strategies across compensation, development programs, and early-career hiring.

More than 100 opportunities at the event offered starting annual compensation above NT$1 million. Singapore-based Titansoft offered senior software engineering roles paying up to NT$4 million per year.

Meanwhile, Delta Electronics subsidiary Cyntec introduced its Global Manufacturing High-Potential Talent Program, with annual salaries starting at NT$1.2 million for roles across manufacturing, equipment, engineering, technical functions, and quality assurance.

At the early-career level, Taiwan Mobile opened more than 20 internship roles spanning AI training data validation, cybersecurity, sustainability, and video marketing.

Together, these initiatives reflect a shift from filling individual vacancies toward building longer-term talent pipelines across different stages of a professional’s career.

Cake Founder and CEO Trantor Liu said: “For companies, talent competition is no longer just about finding people who already have AI skills. It is also about how to develop talent over the long term, across different stages of their careers. For professionals, true Re-skill in AI is not a one-time skills upgrade, but a continuous evolution throughout their careers.”

Cake Connects AI-Powered Career Services Into One Job Search Journey

Cake has integrated AI across multiple stages of the job search journey. Its new AI Career Fair Guide recommends relevant employers, job openings, and booths based on a candidate’s experience level, target industries, and job preferences.

The service connects with Cake AI, which provides AI-powered career strategy, job analysis, and resume review to help users clarify their career direction, better understand opportunities, and strengthen their applications. On-site services also included AI-generated professional headshots.

By connecting online exploration, job-search preparation, and in-person employer engagement, Cake is turning Re-skill in AI into a continuous career process rather than a one-time skills upgrade.
