The self storage industry has seen rapid growth across Europe, and for professionals in this sector, staying informed and connected is essential. One of the biggest events for this purpose is the annual self storage conference hosted by the Federation of European Self Storage Associations (FEDESSA). But what is it all about, and should you be there?
What is the Self Storage Conference?
Organised by FEDESSA and The Self Storage Association UK, the conference is Europe’s largest event dedicated to the self storage industry. It gathers a diverse mix of facility owners, operators, suppliers, and investors from across Europe. The conference offers a range of opportunities, including keynote speeches from industry leaders, panel discussions on emerging trends, and sessions on legal, regulatory, and marketing updates. For anyone looking to grow their self storage business or gain insights into the latest industry trends, the FEDESSA Self Storage Conference is designed to help.
Each year, the Self Storage Conference takes place in a different European city, offering a fresh experience and exposure to new markets. This rotating location gives attendees the chance to explore diverse self storage environments across the continent, while networking with industry leaders. This year, Stockholm is the host city, providing access to one of Europe’s most dynamic self storage markets.
Stockholm 2024
This year’s return to Stockholm is themed the Greatest Hits Tour, featuring some of the most popular speakers from past conferences. Hosted by British television presenter, Mark Durden-Smith, his lively and engaging style adds a layer of excitement to the event, making it not only informative but also entertaining. Attendees often praise his ability to connect with the audience, bringing humor and energy to the sessions.
Networking Opportunities
The FEDESSA Self Storage Conference also offers exceptional networking opportunities. The structured networking sessions, such as lunches, coffee breaks, and facility tours, make it easier to build relationships, and often you’ll return home with a bag full of business cards and/or LinkedIn requests!
One of the highlights is the evening dinners and gala events. These gatherings, hosted in unique venues, provide a relaxed setting to strengthen business connections while enjoying local cuisine and entertainment. This year’s Welcome Dinner is taking place in the iconic Vasa Museum – a remarkable cultural institution that houses the world’s only preserved 17th-century warship, the Vasa. This museum is one of Stockholm’s most popular tourist attractions and offers a fascinating glimpse into Sweden’s maritime history. We are proud to be this the sponsor for the Welcome Dinner this year – it is definitely going to be one to remember.
