Founded in 1975, the Self Storage Association is the official trade organization and voice of the United States and international self storage industry. Its mission is to promote the highest standards of professionalism, conduct, honesty, integrity, and ethical business practices in the self storage field. One of the main ways that they promote this mission is through Self Storage Association events, which take place both nationally and on individual state levels. The following is a summary of some upcoming events.
UPCOMING SELF STORAGE ASSOCIATION EVENTS
2016 Fall Conference and Trade Show
This national event will take place September 6 through 9 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will feature Kenneth M. Wooley, Sr., and Spencer Kirk, two leaders and visionaries in the self storage industry, as keynote speakers. Those interested in attending can register online and take advantage of discount hotel rates through the SSA website (selfstorage.org). In addition to a trade show with a large number of exhibitors, the event’s full schedule of activities includes roundtable discussions and engaging workshops.
Self Storage Valuation and Acquisition Course
This event attracts a wide variety of people. For example, it will include those interested in acquiring a self storage facility, looking to secure financing, needing assistance with reviewing a property tax bill, or valuing assets for disposition. The goal of this course is to help people understand deals and transactions. It will take place at the US Grant Hotel in San Diego, California, from October 3 to 5, 2016. Online registration for this course is open until September 9, and all attendees will receive two customized financial modeling tools.
