Education was the star of the Inside Self-Storage World Expo, Oct. 4-6 in Tacoma, Wash. Industry professionals, eager to learn effective and immediate strategies to improve their business, packed the seminar rooms at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. The fall show included five tracks of seminars including one designed specifically for Canadian storage professionals and another for facility owners. Attendees were truly presented with "new markets and new opportunities" as promised by the event theme in the month's leading up to the show.

“The education program at every ISS Expo is always top-notch, and this show was no exception,” says Inside Self-Storage Publisher Troy Bix. “We work really hard to gather the best minds in the business, people who are in the trenches every day, to help our attendees become successful business leaders in their markets.”

In addition to the education program, the ISS Expo also included several networking events such as the popular cocktail reception, held in conjunction with exhibit-hall hours on the first evening of the show. The 50-plus exhibitors showcased their wares including building components, management software, security gates, video cameras, marketing services, commercial insurance and much more.
