Info Salons MENA

What Info Salons MENA does

Info Salons MENA, now operating as ADITUS following its 2025 acquisition by ADITUS GmbH and rebrand in January 2026, is a Dubai-based event technology company serving trade fair organizers, congresses, exhibition venues, associations, and corporate event planners across the MENA region. The company's flagship Offering is an end-to-end platform combining online Visitor and Exhibitor portals (ticket sales, registration, accreditation, vouchers, social media integrations, marketing campaigns) with on-site hardware (Speedy and QUICODE ticket scanners, Self-Badging Terminals and Gates, Mobile Supervisor wireless scanners, on-site cash registers, kiosks, payment clearing) and a backend data layer (Live-Dashboards, FKM-compliant reporting, and a documented API platform with identity provider, standard APIs, data integration, standard integrations, and webhooks). Sustainable single-material lanyards made from recycled PET — a patented design and iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 recipient — round out the consumables portfolio.

The platform architecture is built around three configurable layers: Online (Visitor/Exhibitor Portals), On Site (proprietary hardware for scanning, admission control, and badge printing under 3 seconds), and Backend (data, APIs, Organiser Portal). The company recently introduced ADITUS Evo, an AI solution available via an MCP-based connector in Anthropic's Claude Directory that connects structured event data to AI systems for knowledge retrieval and process automation. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-based software licensing, hardware sales, badge and consumables, and professional on-site services, with quote-based custom enterprise pricing and multi-year contracts.

The business targets enterprise buyers through consultative field sales, demo bookings, and solution partnerships. The customer base includes major global exhibition organizers such as Informa, DMG Events, Messe Frankfurt, RX (Reed Exhibitions), Messe München, Nürnberg Messe, MESSE ESSEN, Dubai World Trade Centre, and Spielwarenmesse eG, with presence spanning trade fairs, agriculture/industry events, security congresses, and toy industry exhibitions. Following the acquisition, the company expands ADITUS's footprint across EMEA and MENA, anchored by a wholly-owned Saudi Arabia subsidiary and a Dubai regional HQ, with the explicit strategic intent of becoming an international benchmark for ticketing and registration services.
