These reports provide a detailed analysis of the evolving age assurance landscape, addressing regulatory compliance, emerging technologies, and vendor benchmarking for enterprises navigating online safety, digital identity, and fraud prevention.

Global Regulatory Pressure: By 2026, compliance-related fines are expected to exceed $2.5 billion, making non-compliance an expensive risk for organizations failing to adopt effective solutions.
Business Impact of Age Assurance
As digital interactions increase across industries, companies must address growing concerns around age assurance. Social media platforms face mounting pressure to safeguard younger users, online gaming platforms require stricter identity verification, and e-commerce businesses must balance compliance with seamless user experience.
Recent regulatory developments, such as the UK's Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC) and expanding COPPA mandates, underscore the urgency for companies to integrate scalable, privacy-preserving age verification and estimation technologies. Failure to comply could result in significant reputational damage and financial penalties.

Dozing Breaks Ground on North America's Largest Low-Carbon Cement Mill
CHICAGO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ozinga has officially broken ground on a cutting-edge low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in East Chicago, Indiana. Equipped with one of North America's largest vertical roller mills, the new plant will produce one million tons of low-carbon cementitious materials annually. Strategically located with direct access to rail, truck, and water (via the Great Lakes and the inland waterways of the U.S.), the facility will serve customers across the United States and Canada, reinforcing Ozinga's commitment to sustainable infrastructure, supply chain resilience, and American manufacturing. "Ozinga has always believed that true innovation isn't just about progress, it's about purpose," said Marty Ozinga, CEO of Ozinga. "This facility is more than a plant. It's a commitment to the future of American manufacturing, to sustainable building, and to strengthening American communities for generations to come." Investing in Communities and American Manufacturing The East Chicago facility and its related operations are projected to create approximately 150 construction and long-term full-time jobs, fueling regional economic growth. Operations are expected to begin in 2026. "This is the kind of investment that strengthens communities and provides real opportunity for local families," said Anthony Copeland, Mayor of East Chicago. With over 2,500 employees nationwide, Ozinga continues to prioritize sustainability, community development, and innovation. The East Chicago facility marks a major milestone in the company's mission to deliver net zero concrete by 2030. Reducing Emissions, Strengthening Supply Chains Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure essential to homes, schools, hospitals, roads, and bridges. Yet traditional Portland cement, its core ingredient, accounts for nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions. In 2024, the United States imported nearly 30 million tons of cement, leaving infrastructure projects vulnerable to supply chain instability and trade volatility. Ozinga's East Chicago facility directly addresses this challenge. By producing domestic low-carbon cements, it will reduce dependence on imports and dramatically lower embodied carbon in construction materials, supporting both environmental goals and economic resilience. Powered by North America's Largest Low-Carbon Vertical Roller Mill At the heart of the facility is the MVR5300-C6 vertical roller mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer, the largest of its kind in North America. With six independent rollers and unmatched throughput capacity, the mill maximizes energy efficiency while minimizing carbon emissions. "This isn't just a plant—it's a technological milestone," said Timothy Burden, President of Gebr. Pfeiffer Americas. "The MVR5300-C6 sets a new benchmark for sustainable cement production." The facility will produce ASTM C989-compliant low-carbon slag cement, as well as proprietary blends under Ozinga's CarbonSense™ brand, meeting ASTM C1157 performance standards and delivering up to 80% reductions in embodied carbon. Once fully operational, the plant is projected to offset more than 700,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of U.S. construction. Driving Innovation Through Collaboration Ozinga's leadership in sustainable building materials has been strengthened by partnerships with Meta, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and other industry leaders. These collaborations have yielded AI-optimized low-carbon concrete, used in Meta's DeKalb, IL data center, and enabled a 64% reduction in embodied carbon at the award-winning Amazon Web Services New Carlisle, IN data center, setting a new industry benchmark. The new East Chicago facility is a timely response to the growing demand for low-carbon concrete in data center construction and other mission-critical infrastructure projects across North America. About OzingaOzinga is a fifth-generation, family-owned American company providing concrete, bulk materials, and construction solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Committed to service, learning, and entrepreneurship, Ozinga continues to develop environmentally responsible products and practices that make a positive impact and shape the future of the built environment.

Hotels Are Draining Up to 75% of their IT Budget on Legacy Tech. New Report Reveals What Operators Can Do
Outdated systems are driving up costs, exposing security gaps, and hurting guest satisfaction for multi-location hotel operators. HOLLAND, Ohio, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- An industry analysis from Hotel Technology News reports that outdated systems are draining three quarters of IT budgets across hotel portfolios, and multi-location operators are increasingly under pressure to modernize without disruption. According to new findings from managed technology provider Velocity, legacy phone lines, fragmented vendor contracts, and aging infrastructure are quietly eroding margins and damaging guest satisfaction. "This isn't just a tech problem, it's a revenue problem," said Anthony Nguyen, Chief Information Officer at Velocity. "Outdated systems don't just increase costs, they impact the overall guest experience, create brand frustration, and ultimately reduce repeat bookings." The new industry resource released ahead of HITEC 2025 outlines how hospitality management IT and operations leaders can audit their systems, uncover hidden losses, and modernize critical infrastructure without a full-scale overhaul. Highlights from the guide include: Up to $240,000 per month in savings for hotel groups managing 1,000 POTS lines by switching to VoIP An average 16% reduction in telecom spend using expense management tools to identify billing errors and unused services A direct link between tech performance and retention, with 92% of travelers ranking reliable Wi-Fi as their top in-room expectation Many hotel operators are juggling disconnected systems across locations, leading to limited visibility, inconsistent guest experiences, and increased cybersecurity exposure. The guide offers practical steps to evaluate vendors, consolidate technology infrastructure, and eliminate operational blind spots. "Most operators know they're behind on upgrades," Nguyen said. "What they often miss is how deeply those delays are impacting revenue, guest reviews, and staff efficiency." The guide includes: A cost-saving audit framework built for hotel groups with 10 or more properties A vendor evaluation checklist covering SLAs, system integration, customer support, and scalability Strategic guidance on balancing guest satisfaction, cybersecurity, and long-term cost savings The Hospitality Buyer's Guide will be available for free at booth #1819 during HITEC 2025 and online.
