The Mamava Pods, which are private lactation suites available for nursing mothers on-the-go, will offer PCC guests a safe and secure space to breastfeed or pump milk for infant children. Made in America, Mamava Pods are a turnkey, all-in-one private nursing room for public spaces. The pods are compatible with the Mamava app with a Bluetooth-enabled SmartLock. Guests will be able to use the app to locate the pods in the Convention Center, see when the pods are available and unlock the door for access. The app is available for download in the Apple App Store or Google Play. Guests who do not have the app can obtain assistance from a Venue Host staff member at any of the PCC Information Desks. "The new Mamava pods at the Phoenix Convention Center are an added benefit for parents and families looking for a calmer, more private nurs- ing experience. This is another exciting step toward making Phoenix the most family-friendly city in the nation," said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. Nursing Moms can find Mamava Pods, which are ADA accessible, at more than 450 locations across the U.S. and Canada, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The pods at the Phoenix Convention Center are easily identifiable featuring custom mural designs created by PCC's Planning Graphic Designer, Diana Moissonnier. PCC has two pods, each with different designs. The pod in the West building features a desert land- scape image and the North building pod features a Sedona-inspired image .
