PCMA has partnered with MeetingMatrix™ International (MMI) to develop an internationally recognized standard that allows both planners and facilities to accurately manage their event space. This partnership provides the most accurate, streamlined and efficient event space management tool in the industry: PCMA Space Verification™ by MeetingMatrix™.

Through this program, facilities are able to provide meeting professionals with Certified Room Diagrams™ that are guaranteed to be accurate within one-fourth of an inch. As a result, both the planner and the sales team can be more than confident that the event set-ups will be precisely as planned. This minimizes planning speculation, last minute scrambling and can decrease costs for everyone. Maximize room sets and take the guesswork out of capacity and set-up constraints through this software.

Why Meeting Professionals Should Use It

More facilities are recognizing the benefits of providing accurate and verified space measurements to professional meeting planners. When you work with PCMA space verified properties you are able to communicate your exact event setups via real-time e-mail communication using MeetingMatrix™ software. This complimentary software allows you to communicate your needs both through traditional floor plans and virtual walk-throughs; you could even experience the space in three-dimensional virtual reality. Advanced room diagramming software allows you to create to-scale diagram setups with the use of simple pull-down menus and toolbars; also experiment with different seating arrangements in every size and shape imaginable.

Why Event Facilities Should Partner With Us

When your space has been verified by a certified MeetingMatrix™ Installation manager your sales team will be able to maximize room-sets and capacity for your clients. You will give meeting professionals the guaranteed satisfaction of a perfectly planned meeting, which attracts more planners to your property. Increase your revenue, customer-service and repeat business. 

As a Space Verified facility, you can display the PCMA Space Verification^TM logo on your website and marketing collateral to let event planners know at a glance that your event space is measured accurately and shown to scale. This reassures detail oriented planners and helps create an instant favorable impression of your event space.
In addition you get:

• Ranking preference on the MeetingMatrix Venue Search Engine.
• Meeting Planners get free MeetingMatrix® software that gives them interactive access to your diagrams.
• The PCMA Space Verification program is promoted in PCMA "Convene®" Magazine and MeetingMatrix® and PCMA websites.
