The Self Storage Hawai'i unConference
Learning & Sharing
Great things happen when you bring the brightest minds and the warmest people together in a beautiful place for a self storage conference. Spend time learning about today's most interesting self storage business challenges and opportunities. Then invent tomorrow's innovations together. Make good business. Make friends. Make memories.

Mixing & Mingling
Here we are at our opening reception for our 2021 event. Registration for our self storage conference is limited to 100 participants, so everyone has a chance to get to know each other in more meaningful ways than possible in a standard conference. As an un-conference, we have the flexibility to adapt content and presentations to your interests. There is no place better for networking and business group gatherings than the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Registration is open for our 2022 event!

COVID 19 and the un-conference
Save the date! We will be holding the Self Storage Hawai’i unconference October 17 to 21, 2022.
We have secured great room rates at our host hotel, The Waikoloa Marriott..
By the time October, 2022 arrives, we should be living in a new "normal" that allows for safe travel, and for safe gatherings like ours.
Our 2021 event worked great, even with Covid policies in place.
A gathering like this will help us assess all the opportunities and risks ahead of us as we move forward into the new world.
The unconference will be the perfect place to figure out what our next "next" is going to be.
By October, 2022 the airline and hotel businesses will have many practices in place to make travel comfortable and comforting. The Hawai'i Department of Health is staying on top of the situation and issuing daily updates. Check in with the Hawai'i Department of Health for updates with this link.

Lisa will be there. Will you?
"The Self Storage Hawaii Un-Conference is the conference to go to. Not just because of the beautiful location in Hawaii, but for the real business connections that you make. I always felt that some of my biggest take-aways from the SSA conferences were from the people I met and talked to. Listening to other owners' experiences and knowledge is extremely beneficial.
Networking with a smaller group of people and doing fun outings makes strong bonds with these business connections invaluable. Learning about the ever evolving storage industry, making amazing business connections, and having fun growing your business wealth of information is the Self Storage Hawaii Un- Conference."

Howard will be there. Will you?
Howard Pryor attended the 2011 Self Storage Hawai'i unConference when he was a part of Barry Hoeven's organization. Today Howard is an independent developer and owner/operator. Howard has a deep and wide set of experiences in the self storage arena. You should spend time talking with him and sharing your experiences as well.
He opened a new SpareSpace Self Storage Center in Miami, FL in the Spring of 2020. It is a beautiful site and you should ask him to tell the story of how it came to be. You can reach Howard Pryor through the SpareSpace website. Howard said, "you should be there in Hawai'i with us!"
Howard is also a kite-boarder. The wind on the Kona/Kohala coast is sometimes great for kite-boarding. We are putting together a group that can go kite-boarding together at the unConference if the wind is just right. Sounds fun, right?
Howard is also a discussion leader for one of our sessions, where we will explore how well aligned our business priorities are with our vendors, partners, and teams.

Come and talk with Carol. She'll be there.
Carol Mixon has trained countless self-storage managers, conducted over 1,000 facility audits, owned sites, managed sites, and has spoken at just about every major self-storage industry event you could think of. Her SkilCheck Secret Shopping firm has evaluated a staggering number of self-storage phone calls. She has written several books and manuals for the business.
Her latest book is called "Self-Storage Auditing for Fraud". If there is away to catch fraud in an operation, Carol knows about it. Where else could you get personal time with someone with this sort of experience? Just as an aside...Carol also wrote the Hawaii Lien Sale Manual, so she knows a thing or two about The Aloha State.
Poppy will be with us. You should be, too.
Poppy Behrens will be attending this year. She is the publisher of Mini Storage Messenger. Her teams have been covering self storage news and putting out valuable educational content for years. Few people have more connections or more experience in the storage industry than Poppy.
Poppy is also an artist and an equestrian. Hopefully the timing works out so that several of us can join Poppy for a trail ride on the amazing Big Island. It is a horse riders island and has a very interesting cowboy culture history.
Spending time visiting with Poppy about her thoughts on the industry would pay for the trip all by itself.
