Welcome to the new SSAA logo.

Introducing our updated brand that symbolises our strong commitment to serving our members and our industry.

We have taken the humble cardboard box, synonymous with our industry, and used its interlocking base to symbolise strength and support. Each interlocking element represents our key stakeholders – owners, operators, customers, and industry – all coming together in a modern brand that depicts our story of support for you, our members.

Fantastic first conference for me, the speakers were outstanding. Excellent organisation, I would recommend attending.

The SSAA’s annual convention is a great way to meet like-minded individuals and learn from industry leaders, regardless of whether you’re a newbie or a long-termer. When one self storage business succeeds, we all succeed – so it’s always great to see everyone sharing ideas and knowledge to help grow the industry as a whole. If you’re not a member of the SSAA, or not attending their annual conventions, you’re missing out.

As a speaker I was truly impressed with the enthusiasm to excel, collegiate way competitors shared knowledge with each other and the general goodwill of the industry. Hats off to the SSAA and its members. You have set the gold standard that other industries should pay attention to.

As a newcomer to the industry, the training sessions are great. Very professional. I fully intend to utilise the knowledge we received. As a new member based in Portland we look forward to meeting and learning from other storage facility owners. Moving from retail to storage after the presentation we will be using a lot more social media to promote our business
