QubicaAMF and ROLLER Forge Long-Term Partnership to Shape the Future of the Bowling and Family Entertainment Industry

QubicaAMF and ROLLER announce their partnership and introduce Conqueror ROLLER, the all-in-one management solution for bowling and multi-attraction entertainment centers, which is already live with shared customers around the globe.

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QubicaAMF, the world’s largest bowling equipment and technology provider, and ROLLER, the leading venue management platform for modern attractions, today announced a long-term strategic partnership to shape the future of family entertainment. The partnership brings together two leaders in their respective industries around a shared vision for a unified guest experience with continued investment from both companies. Together, the two partners have developed Conqueror ROLLER, an all-in-one solution already live in bowling and entertainment centers across the globe, with continued innovation planned through their shared product roadmap.

Bowling is a $10 billion global industry, with more than 100 million people bowling each year across 125 countries. Traditional bowling centers are evolving into multi-attraction entertainment destinations, and operators are increasingly managing experiences that extend far beyond the lanes. Yet the technology powering those venues often remains fragmented, with separate systems for bowling operations, reservations, and other attractions.

“The bowling industry is in the middle of a major shift. Bowling remains at the heart of the venue, but operators are rapidly building broader entertainment experiences around it,” said Emanuele Govoni, CEO of QubicaAMF. “The technology powering these venues must bring bowling and other attractions together. QubicaAMF and ROLLER have formed a long-term partnership, and with a shared vision, we will continue to build what operators need to shape the next generation of family entertainment.”

At the center of the partnership is the Conqueror ROLLER solution, which unifies QubicaAMF’s Conqueror X bowling and lane management technology with ROLLER’s venue management platform. For operators, this solves a critical problem: combining bowling and multi-attraction management to unify the guest experience while making it easier for staff to delight guests. ROLLER can now power the full guest journey across a venue’s entertainment offerings, including lane management through QubicaAMF’s integrated technology.

“The best technology should make a complex venue feel simple to run and seamless for guests to experience,” said Luke Finn, CEO of ROLLER. “Together with QubicaAMF, we’ve created a solution that unifies the guest journey from the moment guests book their first game to every time they come back. This is a long-term commitment to our industry, and we will continue building what operators need next.”

A unified guest experience helps venues convert more bookings, increase revenue per guest, drive repeat visits, maximize lane utilization, and operate more efficiently by combining venue and attraction management with a complete on-lane entertainment ecosystem. Joint QubicaAMF and ROLLER customers are already seeing the impact:

• Lumos in Texas increased its share of revenue generated online by 5.5x.
• Queens in London increased multi-activity bookings by 64%.
• NIKITO, headquartered in Paris, went live in less than three months and saw 100% of staff prefer the new system.

Tenpin, one of the United Kingdom’s largest bowling operators, with 60 venues across the country, is bringing the joint QubicaAMF and ROLLER solution across its portfolio.

“Our vision is to create one seamless experience across all of our activities,” said Roy Whitmore, IT Director at Tenpin. “Unifying all of our activities with bowling is critical to achieving that goal. The joint solution from QubicaAMF and ROLLER is a major step forward in making that vision a reality, and we’re excited to bring it live across our portfolio of venues.”

Today’s announcement is the next step in a broader partnership, with QubicaAMF and ROLLER working from a shared product roadmap to sync more of the bowling and venue experience over time. Planned capabilities will bring more of the venue operation together, including waitlist management, in-game adjustments, and unified capacity management across all attractions.

THE NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL RELAUNCHES AS THE DIAMOND COLLECTIVE WITH A NEW STRATEGY TO REIGNITE DESIRE FOR NATURAL DIAMONDS

The Diamond Collective will unite the industry behind a shared ambition: reconnecting people with the rarity, meaning and enduring emotional power of diamonds.

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Natural Diamond Council becomes The Diamond Collective unveiling a new global strategy to reconnect natural diamonds with culture, strengthen consumer confidence and drive long-term relevancy.

Shaped by new CEO Amber Pepper following six months of consultation with producers, retailers, brands, creatives and consumers, the strategy responds to a fundamental shift in how people discover, value and buy luxury. It sets a clear ambition for The Diamond Collective: to reignite desire for natural diamonds and convert that desire into sustained demand.

The strategy connects culture, retail, trust, advocacy, digital discovery, partnerships and industry alignment through three priorities:

• UNITE – bring producers, retailers, brands, designers
  
  and new voices together around shared priorities for growth.
• PROTECT – strengthen consumer confidence through clarity, transparency and facts; challenge misinformation; and clearly differentiate diamonds 
  
  from synthetic diamonds.
• INSPIRE – create desire through culture, creativity and globally connected storytelling, with a clear path to consideration and purchase.

Together, these priorities signal a decisive shift: from defending the category to renewing desire; from isolated campaigns to a connected global growth programme; and from industry representation to shared action, investment and measurable commercial impact.

The strategy will come to life through a new generation of global programmes, including culturally relevant campaigns, a universal Trustmark, stronger origin and provenance narratives, renewed retailer and brand partnerships, and investment in AI and digital discovery. Further initiatives will strengthen evidence-led responses to misinformation, elevate producer nations and create new forums for collective industry leadership.

More details, alongside additional senior appointments, will be announced in the coming months.

A new Diamond Desire Index will measure whether the strategy is changing how consumers feel and act. Launching with a baseline across the US, India and China, it will track consideration, purchase intent, sentiment and recommendation, creating a consistent global view of desire for natural diamonds and supporting annual reporting on changes in behaviour and demand.

The strategy will also introduce a broader participation model, enabling organisations across the value chain to contribute expertise, perspective and support to shared priorities. This will give more of the industry a meaningful role in shaping and delivering the category’s long-term growth.

The new identity of The Diamond Collective will be the organisation’s public-facing name in most markets, while the Natural Diamond Council will remain its legal entity. The change is more than a rebrand: it represents a more ambitious way of working; consumer-first, evidence-led and collective by design.

Amber Pepper, CEO of The Diamond Collective, said:

“Natural diamonds are among the Earth’s rarest treasures, formed deep beneath its surface over billions of years. Each is entirely unique, yet their greatest value lies in the meaning we give them: the people, promises and moments we never want to forget.

“Since taking on this role, I have listened to people across our industry and beyond. Their insight, experience and belief in natural diamonds have shaped this strategy. What I have heard gives me enormous confidence in the opportunity ahead and a clear sense that we will only realise it by acting together.

“The Diamond Collective will build on that shared ambition: to bring the extraordinary story of natural diamonds into culture, strengthen trust in what makes them unique and inspire a new generation to choose them. This is how we will transform enduring emotional desire into lasting demand.”

For further details, please read the full strategy here.

About The Diamond Collective

The Diamond Collective* is a global, industry-funded not-for-profit dedicated to the future of natural diamonds. It brings together the people, stories and expertise behind natural diamonds to inspire desire, protect consumer confidence and unite the industry around a shared ambition: more people choosing natural diamonds, more often.

*The Diamond Collective operates under the legal entity Natural Diamond Council.

Hollyland Introduces LARK M3: A Flexible & Scalable Wireless Audio System for Multi-Person and Multi-Camera Production

Configurable up to 4 transmitters and 4 receivers to give broadcast-grade audio for group interviews, multi-person content, and multi-camera shoots.

Media Highlights

• Scalable wireless audio system supports up to 4 transmitters and 4 receivers.
• One transmitter can feed audio to four receivers across multiple cameras simultaneously.
• Four transmitters can pair to one receiver for independent multi-person recording.
• Lightweight 9g transmitters fit discreetly into outfits when on camera.
• Records at 48kHz/32-bit with AI noise cancellation and custom voice tuning.
• Primary and Secondary receiver setup with automatic failover for recording reliability.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hollyland, a leading provider of wireless products for professional film and video production, and content creation, today announced the LARK M3, a flexible and scalable wireless audio system designed for multi-camera, multi-person productions. Rather than functioning as a single wireless microphone, LARK M3 can be a one-to-many or many-to-one audio system that can capture group interviews, podcasts, multi-person content, and multi-camera shoots with a setup that easily adapts to the number of people and devices involved.

Scalable & Flexible Multi-Audio Setups

At the core of LARK M3 is its multi-transmitter and multi-receiver architecture. Up to four transmitters can connect to a single receiver, letting each person wear their own mic and be recorded independently, without passing a single microphone around. Conversely, one transmitter can connect to up to four receivers simultaneously, so a single speaker’s voice can be captured by multiple cameras or smartphones at once.

That flexibility extends into post-production through four-track independent recording. When paired with the hot shoe adapter, or by connecting a USB-C or Camera receiver to a computer, LARK M3 delivers four isolated audio tracks, giving editors full control to adjust each speaker’s volume and sound separately.

Ultra-Portable Professional-grade Audio

Recording at 48kHz/32-bit with a 70dB signal-to-noise ratio and 125dB max SPL, the LARK M3 pairs studio-level specs with an easy-to-use design. It uses Hollyland’s proprietary HDT wireless technology to move audio data 50% faster for richer, clearer sound over distances of up to 300m.

AI noise cancellation, powered by deep learning and computational auditory scene analysis, suppresses wind, traffic, running water, and other background noise across three adjustable levels. Custom voice tuning provides one-tap vocal enhancement for all transmitters, along with eight vocal presets that can be assigned individually to each transmitter. Each preset can be customized in the app for more precise control over vocal tone. Auto-Limit Clip Protection keeps volume levels stable across dynamic ranges, while a Primary/Secondary receiver setup is designed to prevent recording interruptions; if the Primary RX drops out, a Secondary RX instantly takes over.

The kit itself is designed for portability: each 9g transmitter uses flexible magnetic mounting, and an all-in-one charging case stores transmitters, receivers, cables, and windshields while delivering up to 48 hours of total battery life.

“We’ve seen video production evolve from one person with one camera or smartphone into collaborative workflows with multiple people and multiple shooting setups. As more shooting setups are involved, everyone’s audio needs to be recorded across different cameras and smartphones at the same time. With traditional solutions, multiple wireless microphone systems may be needed to capture audio across multiple people and cameras or smartphones. We wanted LARK M3 to make multi-person, multi-camera shooting simpler with one system that can flexibly connect multiple transmitters and receivers as needed.”

— Yena Li, GTM Specialist at Hollyland

Pricing and Availability

The Hollyland LARK M3 is available in seven SKUs, including four charging-case kits and individual transmitters and receivers. For more information, visit: https://www.hollyland.com/product/lark-m3

In this role, Drummond will lead Aon’s global go-to-market strategy, sales execution and growth across Global Solution Lines, helping to advance our commercial capabilities by driving global client strategies that deliver differentiated client value at scale.

“Jane is an exceptional leader with a proven track record of driving growth, advancing client value and building high-performing teams,” said Marcell. “Her deep industry experience, global perspective and commitment to delivering integrated solutions for clients make her uniquely positioned to lead our commercial strategy and help accelerate Aon’s growth agenda.”

Drummond joined Aon in 2009 and brings to the role more than 25 years of experience in the risk and insurance industry, with expertise spanning risk management, risk finance consulting, sales and marketing. Throughout her career, she has worked closely with many of the world’s leading multinational organizations across a broad range of industries, helping clients navigate complex challenges and make better decisions that protect and grow their businesses. Currently, Drummond serves as Chief Commercial Officer of Asia-Pacific, working with sales leaders and country CEOs to drive new business, strengthen strategic client relationships and enhance commercial excellence. Drummond also oversees Aon’s Strategic Account Management team in Asia and the Aon Global Client Network, bringing deep experience in large multinational accounts, risk consulting and insurance solutions.

“Aon’s strength has always been its ability to bring the best of our firm together to help clients address increasingly complex challenges,” said Drummond. “I am honored to step into this role and look forward to working with colleagues around the world to strengthen our commercial capabilities, deepen client relationships and drive sustainable growth across the enterprise.”
