From Times Square to Tokyo, WGD brings global smiles
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2023 / The first weeklong Women's Golf Day (WGD) Celebration drew to a close as the last event finished at Moorea Green Pearl Golf Club in French Polynesia on Tuesday evening, the 6th of June. More women and girls were able to access these celebratory events in 2023 than ever before given the new weeklong format and the increase in the number of participating countries and venues. Over 1,300 locations in 84 countries have hosted WGD. Starting with WGD Palooza Digital Day and the NYSE Opening Bell, the celebration continued throughout the week. New and existing female golfers around the globe dressed in red and white to share their experiences on social media with a collective joy that perhaps can only be measured in smiles.
The New York Stock Exchange welcomes Women's Golf Day & Acushnet May 31, 2023, to the podium. To honor the occasion, Elisa Gaudet, Founder, Women's Golf Day joined by Tara Dziedzic, NYSE Head of Listings U.S. Sectors, rings The Opening Bell®. @NYSE
"Every year, we work to increase the number of facilities that host Women's Golf Day and it was very exciting to welcome the 139 courses from Japan and watch on social media in real time the impact WGD has on golf around the globe. I experienced first-hand how important it is to have new and existing female golfers participate in WGD events to build confidence, new friendships and skills that do last a lifetime. Our goal is to create more opportunities and unity and we are achieving that on a global level," commented Elisa Gaudet, Founder of Women's Golf Day.
She continued, "Growing demand for additional days from host locations prompted us to expand to a weeklong format, resulting in impactful and significant activation on each day this week. Starting on May 30th with the WGD Palooza digital day and May 31st ringing the opening bell at the NYSE with Acushnet (Titleist and FootJoy). It is important to have retail engagement and in-store activation from both PGA TOUR Superstore and Golf Town as well as championship courses around the world hosting events. Having lived in NYC for 10 years, it is thrilling to see WGD and Acushnet billboards running for a few weeks in Times Square and Silicon Valley. This support includes our partners, RBC, who are hosting the RBC Canadian Open this week."

Frame Security Launches KnowBetter as AI Reshapes Social Engineering8.7.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
AI Is Rewriting the Social Engineering Playbook. Security Awareness Training Hasn't Caught Up. Organizations must KnowBetter. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Security teams have spent two decades training employees to spot a familiar set of red flags: a suspicious link, a misspelled domain, an urgent request for a wire transfer. That approach is now colliding with an attacker toolkit that has changed faster than most awareness programs have. Generative AI has made it possible to clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, generate a passable deepfake video in minutes, and write a phishing email tailored to a specific employee's role, manager, and recent LinkedIn activity. Vishing calls, smishing texts, and video-based impersonation are now standard components of enterprise social engineering campaigns, not edge cases. "Most organizations are still training people to recognize threats from five years ago," said Tal Shlomo, co-founder and CEO of Frame Security, a huma
GoodData.AI Brings Governed Agentic Analytics to Regulated Enterprises Across DACH8.7.2026 13:05:00 CEST | Press release
GoodData.AI lets regulated enterprises in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland build and govern AI agents that support business processes, while maintaining full control over where AI runs and what data it can access. SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / GoodData.AI, an open agentic analytics platform with nearly two decades of analytics experience, today announced an expanded investment in the DACH region, bringing governed agentic analytics to regulated enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Many regulated enterprises have held off on production AI because outputs can't be traced back to approved business logic. GoodData.AI's platform addresses that directly: agents stay on a process over time, drafting and updating reports, analyses, and recommendations as new data comes in, while every output stays grounded in logic the company has already approved and can show an auditor on request. The EU AI Act has introduced some of the most comprehensive AI governan
