Attendees will hear from leading operators, developers, investors, brokers, architects, general contractors, technology experts, and management professionals. Our general sessions will feature prominent national voices, including CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, along with Jefferson Shreve and Troy Downing\u2014two self-storage leaders whose experience reaches well beyond the industry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The educational program will address the real issues facing owners, operators, and developers. Each presentation will offer new information to add to your wheelhouse. Whether you are trying to finance a project, improve facility performance, understand changing customer behavior, navigate construction challenges, or determine when to buy, sell, or expand, you will find practical information you can take home and put to work.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.listselfstorage.com\/us\/vendors\/profile\/Modern-Storage-Media-245\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE Show<\/a><\/span> will also introduce the Deal Room, powered by TractIQ, which provides a dedicated space for serious conversations about properties, investment opportunities, and transactions. It is another way we are creating meaningful business opportunities rather than hoping attendees meet the right person in a crowded hallway.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We have deliberately avoided scheduling educational sessions during exhibit hall hours. You should not have to choose between hearing an important speaker and meeting vendors who can help your business. You will have time to explore new products, services, and technology and have productive conversations without constantly watching the clock.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Beyond education and business, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.listselfstorage.com\/us\/vendors\/profile\/Modern-Storage-Media-245\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE Show<\/a><\/span> will offer experiences you will not find at a typical conference. Our opening reception at the Georgia Aquarium will provide an unforgettable setting to reconnect with colleagues and forge new relationships. Our awards gala will honor the exceptional managers and facilities representing the best of self-storage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We are also working to make attendance more affordable.

But the greatest cost may be the opportunity missed: the idea you did not hear, the relationship you did not build, the solution you did not discover, or the deal you were not in the room to discuss.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.listselfstorage.com\/us\/vendors\/profile\/Modern-Storage-Media-245\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE Show<\/a><\/span> is being built around the way business really happens\u2014in conversations, introductions, shared experiences, and access to people who understand your challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So, why not take advantage of the available registration and airline discounts and join us in Atlanta?
