LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2024 / The Inside Self-Storage World Expo, the self-storage industry's largest, most comprehensive conference and tradeshow, took place April 2-5 at Caesars Forum Conference Center in Las Vegas, attracting nearly 4,000 professionals to gain critical insights into the global business. The event gathers the sector's most esteemed educators to share trends, highlight new opportunities, showcase products and services and reveal best practices and strategies designed for facility owners, managers, investors and developers.
The expo hall convened more than 250 self-storage companies representing all segments of the business, from building components like doors, lighting, roofs, security systems and solar panels to innovative services such as marketing, insurance, management and consulting. The interactive show floor created additional avenues for discovery and facilitated connections among new market segments in the self-storage industry, estimated to reach $115.62 billion in the United States by 2025.
The event offered seven themed seminar tracks including Big Picture, Building, Innovation, Investing, Management and Ownership, each serving a specific segment of the audience. Management topics included sales and service, remote management, career innovation and planning and marketing strategies. Ownership sessions focused on insurance coverage, do-it-yourself business-analysis tools and business evolution. Builders enjoyed sessions on design, construction logistics, sustainability and renovation. Additional sessions and workshops addressed legal issues, technology, risk management, investment strategies and more.
