About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Inside Self-Storage World Expo (ISS World Expo) is the self-storage industry's largest education and networking event, bringing together owners, facility managers, developers and investors in Las Vegas. The ISS World Expo is recognized as the leading education and networking event for self-storage managers, owners, developers and investors, providing the resources professionals need to build, manage and market their business in a competitive environment.
The program pairs a large exhibit hall with an extensive education agenda. The event includes concurrent seminars, intensive workshops, peer-to-peer learning opportunities, and exhibits from the industry's leading product and service suppliers. Attendees range from first-time entrepreneurs to seasoned operators scaling multi-facility portfolios.
It is worth attending because it consolidates the whole industry in one place. The Inside Self-Storage World Expo is a trade-only event with no admission to the general public, so the show floor and sessions are focused on serious professionals seeking suppliers, strategies and connections to grow their self-storage businesses.

The event features 4,200+ attendees, 80+ educational offerings and 250+ exhibiting companies, offering industry-leading education, expert advice and actionable strategies attendees can implement right away. The 2027 education program runs across multiple seminar tracks, and a Call for Speakers invites industry experts to present sessions.
