Experient Grows Strategic Account Management Team Lyra Hankins, Yurii Land and Chris Jensen are the newest Experient strategic account managers. Experient Grows Strategic Account Management Team Lyra Hankins, Yurii Land and Chris Jensen are the newest Experient strategic account managers.	The Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) has partnered with MeetingMatrix™ International, Inc. to develop an internationally recognized event space management standard: PCMA Space Verification. This strategic alliance will provide meeting professionals with the most accurate, streamlined, and efficient event space communication tool in the industry. Through this new program, MeetingMatrix™ provides both event planners and facilities with PCMA Space Verified room diagrams, ensuring that event setups which fit on paper will actually fit in the room. A facilities meeting space must first be “Certified” by a MeetingMatrix™ Installation Manager by physically measuring the area. Measurements are guaranteed to be accurate within one-fourth of an inch. “PCMA’s commitment to providing the hospitality industry with the best educational programs, standards, and tools is the true validation for PCMA Space Verification,” explained John Secord, Vice President, Sales and Operations for MeetingMatrix™. “For the past decade the event planning community has benefited from PCMA’s verification program and MeetingMatrix is excited to apply its 15 years of worldwide accepted practices to this incredible program.” PCMA Chief Partner Relations Officer Sherrif Karamat added, “As the industry leader and respected authority in space verification, our partnership with MMI will only serve to ensure that meeting professionals have the latest and most accurate tools in the meetings industry for the planning and execution of meeting logistics.” Hotels, convention centers, conference centers, and venues alike can use the PCMA Space Verification program to guarantee the accuracy of their event space. Meeting planners can access these diagrams via web download or CDs during the site selection process. Once MeetingMatrix™ has measured and “Certified” the space at a facility, the property can display the official “PCMA Space Verified by MeetingMatrix” seal on its marketing collateral, and web site. In addition, “PCMA Space Verified” plaque can be prominently displayed in each facility, and the official seal will be seen in all MeetingMatrix Certified Room Diagram^TM files. Professional meeting planners worldwide can receive a free version of the MeetingMatrix™ software and access to all PCMA Space Verified facilities. They can then communicate their exact event setup needs to the properties both through traditional floor plans and virtual walk-throughs, experiencing the space in three-dimensional virtual reality. Advanced room diagramming software allows planners to create to scale diagram setups with the use of simple pull-down menus and toolbars and experiment with different seating arrangements in every size and shape imaginable.
