Join the Northeast Self Storage Association for our annual Fall Retreat at the always-popular Publick House!

Begin your morning mingling with sponsors and other self storage owners and managers over breakfast.

We'll then touch on marketing before breaking for lunch and more networking. The day will wrap with an update on Connecticut's lien law changes, Rhode Island's insurance bill success, and legislative war stories from SSA's Joe Doherty.

    The self storage industry is thriving like never before. Many are saying that business has never been better and facilities are full with waiting lists to boot. But several experts say it's actually a mistake to be 100% full and as they say, what goes up, must come down. With troubling trends already starting to show, this panel will uncover how even a full facility can take advantage of our industry's success and boost their operations. Plus learn about the trends you should keep an eye on at your facility in order to prepare you for a shift in business.
