SMD Software Inc., provider of SiteLink property-management software for self-storage and portable-storage operations, will host a User Conference on Oct. 30 to bring together facility managers, owners and accountants with technology partners and SMD team members. The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Homewood Suites by Hilton in The Woodlands, Texas, the day after the conclusion of the Texas Self Storage Association (TSSA) Conference and Tradeshow.

During the event, attendees will be able to try out SiteLinks integration with Web-based Blue Moon software and participate in networking opportunities. Two concurrent education tracks, one designed for facility managers and the other for self-storage owners, offer sessions designed to boost hands-on skill sets and operational strategies using the software. A joint session bringing together SMD staff, facility operators and technology partners to discuss SiteLink uses will conclude the event. Seating is limited.

Each time I attend the User Conferences, I am amazed by how much I have learned and applied in my operation, said John Manes, chief operations officer for The Jenkins Organization Inc., a Houston-based operator that owns or manages 53 self-storage properties throughout Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Networking opportunities with attendees and technology partners are unsurpassed. I highly recommend SiteLink User Conferences to managers and owners alike.

More information about the event can be found at SiteLink.com, and registration can be completed online. Established in 1996, SMD Software has more than 7,000 product installations worldwide.

The TSSA conference will be held Oct. 27-29 at the Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, also in The Woodlands. Established in 1986, the TSSA is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to enhancing the quality of self-storage in Texas. It provides industry education, research and discussion.
