“We are extremely grateful to the speakers, attendees and the exhibitors who joined us for this year’s show in Las Vegas,” said Troy Bix, publisher of Inside Self-Storage magazine. “There’s a lot of viability in this industry, and this was one of the most successful shows in the last few years.”
During the first two days, event attendees including self-storage owners, managers, investors, builders and vendors, enjoyed seminars on a wide range of industry topics. Hot picks focused on marketing, financing, construction, development, sustainability, and day-to-day facility management. On the eve of the first day, participants enjoyed a lively, interactive Q&A session with industry experts Mel Holsinger and Jim Chiswell, and then chose from a selection of 30 roundtable discussions.
The exhibit hall opened on March 2 with more than 150 exhibitors displaying self-storage products and services. Companies include developers and builders, brokers, financiers, insurance experts, door manufacturers, software vendors and many others. A cocktail reception, co-sponsored by Janus International Inc., Mako Steel Inc. and DAI General Contracting, was held that evening with hundreds in attendance.
On March 3, attendees had access to the exhibit hall as well as the real estate-related Buyers and Sellers Meeting. Some registered for one of three intensive workshops: Management Workshop, Marketing and Sales Boot Camp or Developers Seminar.
The next ISS Expo will take place in New Orleans, Sept. 29-Oct. 1, at the New Orleans Marriott on Canal Street. The superlative education program will feature the industry’s top consultants, developers, marketers and online experts addressing topics such as management, marketing, financing and more. The fall show will also feature two days of exhibits, add-on workshops, a Technology Marketplace and more.
