The self-storage industry has always celebrated innovation, operational excellence, and the professionals who set the standard for success. This November, those achievements will take center stage like never before.
For the first time in the history of both the annual Facility of the Year and Manager of the Year competitions, the winners will be announced live during an elegant black-tie awards gala on Thursday evening, November 5, at THE Show in Atlanta. Rather than learning the results beforehand, finalists and attendees alike will experience the anticipation together as envelopes are opened and the winners are revealed live before hundreds of self-storage owners, operators, developers, investors, and suppliers.
Think of it as the self-storage industry’s version of the Oscars.
This exciting new tradition transforms the awards presentation into one of the signature events of THE Show. The elegant black-tie gala will celebrate the industry’s finest facilities and managers while recognizing the innovation, leadership, and dedication that continue to move self-storage forward.
But first, we need your entries.
Each year, the Facility of the Year competition recognizes self-storage facilities that represent the very best our industry has to offer. Judges evaluate facilities on a variety of criteria, including design, innovation, operations, marketing, customer service, technology, and overall excellence. Whether your property is a newly developed flagship facility or a long-established operation that has become a benchmark for success, this competition is your opportunity to earn national recognition among your peers.
Being named a finalist is an accomplishment in itself. Finalists receive industry-wide recognition through Modern Storage Media and THE Show, while winners take home one of the most prestigious honors in self-storage.
The Manager of the Year competition is equally distinguished, recognizing the professionals whose leadership, customer service, operational expertise, and commitment to excellence make their facilities successful every day. Outstanding managers are the backbone of this industry, and this year’s live awards presentation will give them the recognition they have earned on our industry’s biggest stage.
THE Show brings together owners, operators, managers, developers, investors, and suppliers from across the country for exceptional education, networking, and business opportunities. The Thursday evening Awards Gala will serve as the grand finale of the conference—a memorable evening dedicated to honoring the very best our industry has to offer.
This is your opportunity to showcase your accomplishments, celebrate your team, and be recognized among the leaders of the self-storage industry.
Imagine sitting in a ballroom filled with your peers as the lights dim, the envelopes are opened, and the industry’s highest honors are announced live from the stage.
When your category is announced, will your name be the one everyone hears?
