Local tourism operator funds a conversational guest concierge built with BEN technology | Hotel assistance first, with room to grow across the visitor journey

ARUSHA, Tanzania, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Skye Africa Intelligence (Pty) Ltd ("Skye") today announced that an established Tanzanian tourism business owned by Ernest Magesa has commercially commissioned SafariOS, a conversational AI concierge named for the visitor journey — the African safari — not for a browser or an operating system. Brand Engagement Network Inc. (Nasdaq: BNAI) ("BEN") is a shareholder in Skye and is providing the underlying technology.

SafariOS is an independent commercial project. It is not an official product of the Confederation of African Football or AFCON PAMOJA 2027.

Magesa's operating business gives Skye a live hospitality environment in which to build and refine the service — local knowledge paired with governed conversational AI.

What is being built

SafariOS applies conversational concierge technology previously used in hospitality and puts it to work in Tanzania's visitor market.

The first release is hotel guest assistance: property information, housekeeping and room-service requests, dining and transport guidance, and a path to a person when one is needed. From there the same conversation can open onto more of the journey — restaurants, excursions, safari operators, onward travel — as participating businesses come onto the platform.

Tanzania first

Tanzania already draws millions of international visitors each year and sits on the doorstep of Arusha, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. That existing flow is the reason to build here.

AFCON PAMOJA 2027, jointly hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda from 19 June to 17 July 2027, will add another pulse of visitors into the same market. The tournament is useful timing. The business case is year-round hospitality.

Ownership

BEN, through its subsidiary Skye AI USA, LLC, holds a minority equity interest in Skye Africa Intelligence. Skye is majority-held by Valio Technologies. BEN does not consolidate Skye.

Management Commentary

"We commissioned SafariOS because visitors still lose time on the small things — a reliable answer, a ride, a person who can help," said Ernest Magesa, the Tanzanian operator commissioning the work. "AFCON will put a spotlight on this region. We are building a service that has to work in June 2027 and in the quiet months after that."

"SafariOS puts conversational concierge technology to work for Tanzania's visitor economy," said Tyler Luck, Chief Executive Officer of Brand Engagement Network. "Skye knows this market and runs the build. BEN supplies the technology and remains a shareholder."

"Start with the hotel. Earn the rest of the journey," said Lefentse Nokaneng, Chief Executive Officer of Skye Africa Intelligence. "That is how a small team actually gets into a market the large platforms talk about."

About Skye Africa Intelligence

Skye Africa Intelligence (Pty) Ltd applies conversational AI to hospitality, health, and public-sector services in Africa. The company is majority-held by Valio Technologies (Pty) Ltd, with Brand Engagement Network as a shareholder. Tyler Luck, CEO of BEN, serves on Skye's board on BEN's behalf.

About Brand Engagement Network Inc.

Brand Engagement Network, Inc. ("BEN") builds secure, enterprise-grade artificial intelligence for the engagement layer of AI, where human intent is transformed into intelligent interactions, automated workflows, and real-world outcomes. Powered by BEN's proprietary Engagement Language Model (ELM™), BEN's technology enables conversational AI interactions that connect human intent to organizational data, workflows, and real-world outcomes. BEN's AI operates within secure closed-loop environments using approved organizational data and built-in governance and compliance controls. For more information, visit www.brandengagementnetwork.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the development, testing, launch or expansion of SafariOS; visitor demand around AFCON 2027; integrations with hospitality and booking systems; and BEN's activities through Skye Africa Intelligence. Actual results may differ, including because development may be delayed or discontinued, the commissioned environment may be limited in scope, visitor traffic may not materialize as expected, integrations and participating businesses may not be secured, and other risks described in BEN's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filings. BEN undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

The article explains how scenic venues provide flexible indoor and outdoor spaces for family, corporate, and community events.

MENOMONIE, Wis., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What kinds of events can benefit from choosing a scenic venue instead of a traditional indoor space? A HelloNation article featuring insights from Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson of Emerald Ridge Weddings & Receptions in Menomonie, Wisconsin, provides the answer by explaining how scenic venues can support a wide range of gatherings beyond weddings. The article describes how natural surroundings, indoor spaces, and flexible layouts can accommodate family, corporate, and community events.

The HelloNation article begins by noting that many people picture scenic venues as wedding locations first. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson explains that these spaces serve a much broader purpose. A scenic venue offers a combination of beauty and function that works well for celebrations, retreats, and special occasions. With open land and adaptable indoor areas, the venue provides room for guests to relax and enjoy the environment. This blend of scenery and comfort helps create events that feel both organized and inviting.

One of the clearest advantages described in the HelloNation article is the ability of a scenic venue to support family reunions. Wide outdoor areas allow guests of all ages to spread out and interact easily. Children can play while adults reconnect, and no one feels crowded. The same natural setting that supports weddings also works well for casual gatherings. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson notes that families appreciate how the space shifts from formal to relaxed without needing additional changes. This flexibility helps reunions feel comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish.

Graduation parties also fit naturally into a scenic venue. The article explains that families value having both indoor and outdoor options, which helps them handle shifting weather. A barn or hall provides space for food tables, photo displays, and seating areas. The surrounding property gives guests room to talk and move freely. A scenic venue helps create a cheerful and open atmosphere that complements the celebratory tone of a graduation event. When larger groups attend, the extra space keeps the gathering from feeling crowded.

Fundraisers also benefit from this environment. The HelloNation article describes how a scenic venue creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for donors, volunteers, and guests. The setting encourages longer conversations and deeper engagement. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson explains that organizers can place silent auctions, performances, or presentations across indoor and outdoor areas. This helps the event flow smoothly and gives attendees a comfortable experience. Scenic venues help fundraisers feel personal, which often strengthens community support.

Corporate events also work well in these settings. Many companies look for alternatives to traditional conference rooms. A scenic venue offers fresh air, wide views, and calm indoor spaces that encourage team building. Retreats, appreciation events, and holiday gatherings gain energy from the natural environment. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson explains that employees often feel more relaxed and more engaged when they spend time in a space that feels open and welcoming. The scenery supports conversation and creates a more comfortable atmosphere for group activities.

Birthday parties and milestone celebrations also benefit from the event flexibility described in the article. A scenic venue can accommodate small groups or large crowds. Some families choose a picnic-style setup under trees, while others use the indoor barn for a more structured gathering. The natural backdrop supports a variety of themes without requiring extensive décor. The landscape helps set the tone for the celebration, which allows families to focus on the experience rather than complicated planning.

The HelloNation article highlights the value of having multiple areas across the property. Scenic venues often include outdoor lawns, shaded sections, covered patios, barns, and halls. Guests can move between these spaces without feeling rushed or confined. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson explains that this layout creates a natural rhythm for the event. Each area connects with the others, which supports a unified experience. Organizers can design different parts of the gathering in ways that feel smooth and balanced.

Weather flexibility is another important advantage. Scenic venues often provide a mix of open-air and enclosed options. This helps events continue without disruption when rain, heat, or wind appears. A barn can host the main gathering, while outdoor areas provide additional room when conditions allow. The HelloNation article notes that this flexibility keeps the event tied to its natural setting even when adjustments are needed. Organizers avoid complicated backup plans because the venue already includes workable solutions.

Photography also benefits from the environment. Natural light, textured backgrounds, and open views help photographers capture strong images. Group photos, candid moments, and portraits all feel relaxed and genuine. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson explains that families, companies, and community groups appreciate how the scenery enhances their photos. A scenic venue helps preserve memories in a way that feels authentic rather than staged.

The article emphasizes that the overall experience at a scenic venue feels more relaxed than at traditional indoor spaces. Guests enjoy the slower pace and the chance to explore the surroundings. Organizers value the built-in beauty and flexibility of the layout. Wedding Industry Expert Teresa Olson notes that scenic venues prove their usefulness by hosting a wide range of events comfortably. Their natural setting supports gatherings that benefit from space, calm, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The HelloNation article concludes by stating that a scenic venue becomes a reliable option when it can shift from weddings to reunions to corporate gatherings without losing its charm. The combination of indoor structures, outdoor areas, and inviting scenery helps people create events that feel memorable and enjoyable. Scenic venues offer a practical and beautiful choice for many different needs.

Hosting More Than Just Weddings at a Scenic Venue features insights from Teresa Olson, Wedding Industry Expert of Menomonie, WI, in HelloNation.

Accredit Solutions Launches Accredit Induct to Turn Workforce Readiness into an Access Decision

New operational readiness product links identity, induction, credentialing and access control, enabling organizations to enforce "no induction, no access" before credentials are issued.

Accredit Solutions, the global identity, credentialing and workforce access technology provider, today announced the launch of Accredit Induct .

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Organizations across sport, live entertainment, government and major events face growing pressure to prove that people entering their environments are trained, authorized and ready for their roles. Yet many still manage induction and compliance through disconnected PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, supplier records and standalone learning systems.

These approaches may support training delivery, but often leave a gap between completion and control. Organizations may know induction content has been issued, yet struggle to prove in real time whether the right person has completed the right requirements before credentials or access are granted.

Accredit Induct closes that gap.

Built on the Accredit Platform and aligned with the Accredit OS operating model, Accredit Induct enables organizations to assign role-based requirements, deliver digital induction and compliance content, track completion in real time and enforce completion before credentials or access permissions are issued. In simple terms: no induction, no access.

Unlike a traditional Learning Management System, Accredit Induct connects induction status directly to an individual's identity, credential record and access permissions. Completion is not simply recorded; it can become a condition of credential approval and entry.

"Induction has too often been treated as a separate administrative exercise, but it shouldn't sit separately from the access decision," said Peder Berg, CEO of Accredit Solutions. "Accredit Induct connects identity, readiness and credentialing in one workflow, so organizations can ensure the right requirements are met before access is approved."

The platform enables organizations to:

- Prevent credential issuance until mandatory training is complete.

- Maintain one identity record across induction, credentialing and access.

- Assign requirements by role, organization, event or credential type.

- Track completion across individuals, teams and suppliers in real time.

- Manage expiry dates, refresher training and recurring obligations.

- Create auditable compliance records.

- See who is ready, who is incomplete and what action is required.

"Knowing who is onsite is important," added Berg. "Knowing they are trained, authorized and ready for their role is becoming just as critical."

About Accredit Solutions

Accredit Solutions is a global accreditation and access management technology provider, helping operations and security leaders achieve complete ownership of accreditation, access management and workforce readiness. Supporting major events, venues, sports organisations, government agencies and critical infrastructure operators worldwide, Accredit Solutions delivers efficiency at every level, enabling leaders to operate with confidence under pressure.

The article explains when HVAC repairs may no longer provide the best long-term value for homeowners.

GRASS VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- When do HVAC repairs stop making financial sense? A HelloNation article, featuring insights from HVAC Expert Jason Baehr of BAEHR Heating & Air in Grass Valley, California, explains how homeowners can evaluate repair vs. replacement decisions by considering system age, energy efficiency, operating costs, and long-term reliability.

Most homeowners expect occasional HVAC repairs during the life of their heating and cooling equipment. The article notes that while individual repairs are often a normal part of ownership, repeated breakdowns can signal that an aging system is approaching the end of its useful life. Understanding when repair costs outweigh potential benefits can help homeowners avoid unnecessary expenses.

According to the article, one of the clearest warning signs is the frequency of service calls. Homeowners who find themselves scheduling HVAC repairs several times a year may be spending substantial amounts simply to keep older equipment operational. In addition to increasing costs, repeated breakdowns can create ongoing inconvenience and uncertainty.

The article also highlights the importance of equipment age when evaluating repair vs. replacement options. Most HVAC systems are designed to provide reliable service for many years, but as equipment grows older, components often become less efficient and more prone to failure. When major HVAC repairs are needed on an aging system, homeowners may find greater long-term value in investing in a replacement system.

Energy efficiency is another major consideration discussed in the article. Older systems often consume more energy than newer models, even when they appear to be operating normally. As a result, homeowners may experience steadily increasing utility bills while focusing primarily on repair expenses. The article explains that declining energy efficiency can significantly affect overall operating costs over time.

Modern HVAC technology has introduced improvements that help reduce energy consumption and improve system performance. The article notes that while installing a replacement system requires a larger upfront investment, improved energy efficiency may help offset those costs through lower monthly utility expenses. Comparing current operating costs with projected savings can provide valuable insight when making a decision.

Major component failures often become a turning point in the repair vs. replacement conversation. The article explains that replacing expensive parts such as compressors, heat exchangers, or blower motors can generate substantial repair bills. When those repairs occur on an aging system, homeowners may be investing heavily in equipment that could experience additional failures in the near future.

Comfort issues can also indicate that replacement deserves consideration. According to the article, older systems may struggle to maintain consistent temperatures, manage humidity, or deliver adequate airflow throughout the home. In some situations, repeated HVAC repairs may address individual problems without resolving broader performance concerns. Persistent comfort issues may suggest that the HVAC system is no longer operating as efficiently as intended.

The article also recommends considering the relationship between repair costs and equipment value. If a repair estimate represents a significant percentage of the cost of a new replacement system, replacement may become the more practical financial decision. This approach helps homeowners avoid repeatedly investing in equipment with a limited remaining lifespan.

Future reliability is another important factor. Even after a successful repair, there is no guarantee that additional components will not fail shortly afterward. The article explains that repeated HVAC repairs can become increasingly difficult to predict and budget for as systems continue to age.

Ultimately, the article concludes that repair vs. replacement decisions should be based on a combination of factors, including system age, repair history, energy efficiency, operating costs, comfort performance, and overall reliability. Taking a long-term view can help homeowners make informed choices that support both comfort and household finances.

How to Decide When HVAC Repairs Stop Making Financial Sense features insights from Jason Baehr, HVAC Expert of Grass Valley, California, in HelloNation.

Koning Health Announces Australian Regulatory Approval for Koning Breast CT System

Koning Breast CT System added to the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, enabling commercial supply in Australia

NORCROSS, Ga., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Koning Health, a global leader in advanced breast imaging technology, today announced that the Koning Breast CT System has been successfully included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), marking an important regulatory milestone for the company's expansion into the Australian market.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved the inclusion of the Koning Breast CT System, CBCT 1000, under ARTG No. 531059 on September 8, 2026. With the device now included in the ARTG, commercial supply in Australia may begin in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and the conditions of the ARTG inclusion.

"This is an important milestone for Koning and for our continued global expansion," said David Georges, President of Koning. "We are grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this technology to Australia, and we look forward to supporting providers as they introduce a new approach to dedicated breast imaging for their patients."

The Koning Breast CT System uses cone beam computed tomography to acquire true 3D images of the breast without compression. The system is designed to provide detailed volumetric breast imaging while creating a more comfortable experience for patients compared with traditional compression-based breast imaging.

The Australian regulatory approval builds on Koning Health's continued international growth and expanding presence across global markets. It also clears the way for the company to begin supporting its first Australian customers, including Brisbane Radiology, the first provider in the country to purchase the Koning Breast CT System.

Brisbane Radiology's early commitment to the technology reflects the growing interest among imaging providers in advancing the breast imaging experience and expanding access to innovative technologies.

"We are incredibly proud to be the first in Australia to bring this technology to our patients," said Jacqui Milne, Clinical Director at Brisbane Radiology. "This approval is an exciting milestone, not only for our team, but for the future of breast imaging in Australia. We are looking forward to helping introduce this technology and seeing the opportunities it may create for patients and providers across the country."

"We are thrilled to reach this point," said Georges. "Australia represents an important market for breast imaging innovation, and Brisbane Radiology's early commitment demonstrates the kind of forward-thinking leadership that helps bring new technologies into clinical practice. We believe this is only the beginning of a much broader opportunity across the country."

Koning Health will continue working with its Australian partners to support commercialization, provider education, installation, and clinical adoption while ensuring compliance with all applicable TGA requirements.
