The 2025 Inside Self Storage World Expo was a Success!
The 2025 Inside Self Storage World Expo was a tremendous success, bringing together a dynamic mix of storage professionals, industry leaders, and innovators from across the globe. As one of the most anticipated events in the self-storage calendar, this year’s Expo exceeded expectations in every way.
We were proud to be part of it all, participating through a busy and rewarding schedule that included a featured seminar, roundtable discussion, and a presence on the tradeshow floor.
Exhibit Hall: Engaging Conversations
On both Wednesday and Thursday, we had a fantastic time connecting with attendees from all corners of the self-storage industry at our booth in the Exhibit Hall. The show floor was a hub of energy and excitement, filled with top-tier vendors, new technologies, and valuable face-to-face interactions.
Throughout the day, we engaged in meaningful conversations with storage owners, operators, and vendors about everything from customer experience to online reputation management. The flow of traffic was strong and steady, giving us countless opportunities to answer questions and learn more about the challenges facility teams are facing in today’s landscape.
We’re always inspired by the dedication and curiosity of Expo attendees, and we’re grateful to everyone who stopped by to say hello!
Table Talks: “Turning Positive-Review Stars Into Self-Storage Profit”
On Wednesday, we hosted a Table Talk roundtable session titled:
“Turning Positive-Review Stars Into Self-Storage Profit.”
This casual, small-group format allowed for real-time dialogue and open Q&A with operators looking to get more out of their review strategy. We discussed how to create first impressions that convert, turning customers into marketing assets, using review trends to guide operations, and how to keep customers coming back.
The intimate setting sparked some fantastic discussions and idea sharing, we even had attendees swapping success stories and tactics with each other!
Seminar Track: “Harnessing the Power of Customer Feedback”
On Thursday morning, our CEO and Co-Founder, Kale Leavitt, took the stage to present a marketing-focused seminar titled:
“Harnessing the Power of Customer Feedback in Your Self-Storage Business Reputation.”
This session explored how online reviews and customer feedback are influencing consumer behavior, search visibility, and conversion rates in the storage space. Kale offered actionable strategies for leveraging positive reviews, responding to negative ones, and incorporating positive reviews into your marketing efforts.
Attendees walked away with a clear understanding of how review management isn’t just nice to have, it’s a must-have for facilities looking to stand out in a competitive market.
