Christie’s and Porsche Design Tower Bangkok Host an Exclusive Collector’s Evening in Bangkok
STUTTGART, GERMANY / BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 April 2026 -Porsche Design Tower Bangkok and Christie’s co-hosted The Collector’s Evening, an exclusive invitation-only event held at The Peak, Gaysorn Tower, Bangkok. The private gathering brought together rare highlights from Christie’s forthcoming Hong Kong and Geneva auctions before a distinguished audience of collectors, investors, and wealth intermediaries, marking one of the most distinguished gatherings of collectors Bangkok has seen this year.

Melissa Chollasap (4th from left), Managing Director of Porsche Design Tower Bangkok, and Prapavadee Sophonpanich (5th from left), Senior Vice President, Managing Director of Christie’s Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, co-hosted The Collector’s Evening, a private preview of rare highlights from Christie’s forthcoming Hong Kong and Geneva auctions, in Bangkok.

The auction preview brought together a rare timepiece, a significant work of jewelry art, and a highly limited collectible — each with a provenance and a place in the collector market that extends well beyond its auction estimate. The evening was led by Vickie Sek, Deputy Chairman and Asia Pacific Chairman of Christie’s, and Alexandre Bigler, Senior Vice President and Head of Watches for Asia Pacific, whose attendance of the event in Bangkok reflects the growing weight of the city’s collector community on the regional stage. This year marks Christie’s 40th year of presence in Asia.

Porsche Design Tower Bangkok served as co-host — an adequate setting that reflects the exclusivity of the objects on display. Born from the collaboration between Porsche Design and Ananda Development PCL, the tower is guided by Professor F. A. Porsche’s founding principle of optimising function while uncompromisingly reducing form to the essentials. The result is ‘Sky Villa’ residences — distinguished by design, exclusive in the truest sense, and coveted by those who understand the true meaning and value of architectural excellence. With just 22 residences, Porsche Design Tower Bangkok underscores its profound exclusivity but unequivocally establishes it as an unparalleled, coveted address. Beyond the preview, the evening served as an intimate occasion for Porsche Design Tower Bangkok to host its clients and prospective owners within a setting that reflected the project’s own collector values.

Central to that distinction is the ‘Passion Space’ — a private collector’s garage directly connected to each residence by private lift. Whatever its owner chooses to place within it, the ‘Passion Space’ was designed with the same conviction that defined the evening: that what individuals surround themselves with is never incidental.

Porsche Design Tower Bangkok emerges as one of merely two Porsche Design residential towers globally, drawing a parallel only with its prestigious Miami counterpart.

Turkish Airlines Open 2026 To Host Major Champion Francesco Molinari And Rolex Series Winner Paul Waring

The 2026 Turkish Airlines Open has confirmed two of golf’s most accomplished names—Major champion Francesco Molinari and Rolex Series winner Paul Waring—for its upcoming edition, scheduled from April 30 to May 3 at the National Golf Club within Regnum Hotels in Antalya. The tournament marks the fifth and final event of the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing, serving as a key conclusion to the first phase of the 2026 global schedule.

Turkish Airlines, the flag carrier that flies to more countries than any other airline, has served as title sponsor of the Turkish Airlines Open since 2013. Over the years, the tournament has welcomed legendary figures including Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, and Rory McIlroy, solidifying its place on the international golf calendar.

Brandspur Sports Desk reports that Molinari, who became the first Italian player to win a Major Championship at the 147th Open Championship in 2018, brings an exceptional pedigree to Antalya. The six-time DP World Tour winner has also represented Europe in three victorious Ryder Cup teams—2010, 2012, and 2018—where he famously secured the winning point at Le Golf National in Paris.

Paul Waring, meanwhile, claimed his first Rolex Series title at the 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a victory that earned him dual membership with the PGA TOUR. Joining them on the starting list are Andy Sullivan, currently sitting fourth on the Race to Dubai Rankings, and Alex Fitzpatrick, both poised to add further competitive firepower to the field.

Beyond the professional tournament, Turkish Airlines maintains a deep commitment to golf at all levels. Since 2013, the carrier has hosted the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, recognised as the world’s largest amateur golf tournament. The most recent edition of that event took place across 122 destinations in 83 countries, underscoring the airline’s global reach and passion for the sport.

MTN Powers The Ultimate Youth Link-Up With The Launch Of Live It 100 Campaign

The pilot edition of The Gathering on 100 has officially concluded after 100 continuous hours of culture, creativity, and community engagement at the National Stadium in Surulere. At the climax of this five-day immersive youth experience, MTN Nigeria alongside the event’s gatherers unveiled the movement’s defining call-to-action: “Live It 100.”

Thousands of young Nigerians converged for a massive fusion of music, sports, gaming, and creative sessions. From watching the sunrise on four consecutive mornings to actively shaping culture in real time, attendees shared a journey rooted in endurance and authentic expression. Operating under a partnership model rather than traditional corporate sponsorship, MTN deliberately stepped back to let the youth lead, embracing the narrative that “The Gathering is the fire; MTN is the oxygen.”

Brandspur Brand News Desk reports that Karl Toriola, Chief Executive Officer of MTN Nigeria, described the event as proof of the unstoppable spirit of Nigerian youth. “Our strategic intent was to position MTN as the critical engine behind this vibrant youth movement, ensuring the brand is seen as an enabler, not an intruder,” Toriola said. “We are giving them the autonomy to lead, while we listen.”

A focal point of the event was the high-stakes Pitchathon segment, which provided a structured arena for startups to showcase working products. Unlike a heavily branded corporate event, the space felt authentic, unscripted, and transparent, allowing founders to interact directly with expert judges, potential investors, and a live audience. Onyinye Ikenna-Emeka, Chief Marketing Officer of MTN Nigeria, noted that the ideas and partnerships formed over 100 hours demonstrate what happens when corporate Nigeria truly listens to young Nigerians. “We recognize that traditional business engagement doesn’t always work for this generation,” she said. “By supporting The Gathering, we are fueling the young Nigerian through youth-led innovation and actively investing in their economic potential.”

Beyond business activity, the event recorded consistent engagement across its programming, offering deep insight into the evolving role of youth within Nigeria’s economy. The sustained 100-hour activity highlighted a growing, resilient base of digitally engaged participants who create their own opportunities. As the event closed, MTN reaffirmed its commitment to expanding the platform, ensuring that The Gathering on 100 will continue to evolve as a vital space for both cultural expression and youth-led economic opportunity.

The Managing Director of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, has been honoured as Industrialist of the Year by Vanguard Media Limited, recognising his transformative leadership and the company’s disruptive impact on Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.

Receiving the award on behalf of Adegunwa, Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, described the recognition as validation of the company’s mission to redefine the industry through homegrown excellence. “This honor reflects the work we have done in challenging conventions and delivering products that resonate with consumers,” he said. “It reinforces our belief that Nigerian companies can compete at the highest level on quality, innovation, and leadership.”

Rite Foods’ rise has been driven by standout brands that have disrupted traditional categories. Its Bigi range of carbonated soft drinks has carved a strong market presence, while Fearless Energy Drink reshaped its segment with a first-of-its-kind PET bottle format before expanding into cans. The company’s Sosa Fruit Drink and sausage brands have further strengthened its position by tapping into evolving consumer lifestyles.

Beyond products, Rite Foods has leveraged platforms in entertainment to build cultural connections, including its long-standing sponsorship of Nigerian Idol from Seasons 6 through 10. Today, the company combines world-class manufacturing at its Ososa facility in Ogun State with a forward-thinking mindset that continues to disrupt, innovate, and lead.

Ondo Finance Brings Shareholder Voting Capabilities To Tokenized Securities With Broadridge
  •  28.04.2026

Ondo Finance, a blockchain-based platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets, today announced a partnership with global fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions  that, for the first time, enables holders of third party  tokenized stocks and ETFs to participate in proxy voting.

“By working with Broadridge, we are enabling holders of our on-chain tokenized stocks to access governance and voting capabilities, with all the additional benefits on-chain tokens provide,” said Matthieu de Vergnes, MD, Global Head of Institutional at Ondo Finance. “Ensuring that our clients can participate in corporate governance is another step forward in our goal of bringing institutional-quality financial products on-chain.”
Through this integration with a new Web3-enabled solution developed by Broadridge, holders of more than 250 Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs will also be able to review prospectuses, regulatory filings, and other governance information for underlying securities, leveraging Broadridge’s trusted investor communications and proxy infrastructure.
“Today’s announcement represents a major milestone in the evolution of tokenized equities and ETFs. Broadridge is proud to expand its voting infrastructure to connect our new Web3-enabled platform with the governance, disclosure, and investor participation standards that underpin modern capital markets.” said Doug DeSchutter, President, Investor Communication Solutions at Broadridge. “By introducing proxy voting capabilities to blockchain-based securities, Ondo and Broadridge are helping define the next generation of market infrastructure — one that bridges the investor protections of traditional finance with the programmability and global accessibility of public blockchains.”
As a global leader in investor communications and technology-driven market infrastructure, Broadridge plays a critical role at the center of the financial system, connecting issuers, intermediaries, and investors at massive scale. By partnering with Broadridge, Ondo is bringing one of the most important pillars of traditional market infrastructure on-chain. The partnership reflects Ondo’s core design goal: tokenized stocks should mirror the standards of traditional markets to the fullest possible extent, while also adding unique accessibility benefits. By unlocking voting capabilities for holders of on-chain tokens that can trade 24/7, Ondo further bridges traditional market structure with blockchain-native infrastructure.
Broadridge’s new capability enables public companies and funds, broker-dealers and wealth managers, and retail and institutional investors to access proxy voting and manage corporate actions and disclosures across both traditional and tokenized securities within their existing platforms and workflows. Broadridge has integrated web 3 authentication capabilities into its ProxyVote platform to allow investors to sign in through their wallets and take action. As tokenization gains momentum, Broadridge is delivering the critical governance infrastructure necessary to support digital asset adoption and growth at scale by enabling investors to receive materials, confirm their holdings and submit votes, all with a transparent and verifiable record.
Today’s announcement underscores Broadridge’s role in accelerating the adoption of digital assets across the financial services landscape. Building on its industry-leading role in tokenizing more than US$8 Trillion in assets per month, Broadridge enables on-chain proxy voting and governance, digital asset post-trade infrastructure, and the scaling of digital asset capabilities across multiple asset classes. Through these innovations, Broadridge is helping financial institutions unlock the next era of digital assets investing.
