PHOENIX, ARIZONA (January 11, 2022) – Getting back to the best of times. Understanding the legalities of the “new normal.” The economics of the self-storage industry.
These and other topics will highlight the 22nd Annual Arizona Self-Storage Association Conference & Trade Show Feb. 17 and 18 at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, 10438 N. Fort McDowell Road, Fort McDowell, Arizona. The Arizona Self-Storage Association (AZSA) is the trade association that represents the self-storage industry in Arizona.
The conference comprises the Owners and Investors Summit on Feb. 17 and the Operational Symposium on Feb. 18. The annual golf tournament precedes the conference Feb. 16 at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club.
“We are elated to be presenting this conference. It’s been a long time in the making. The last conference was in 2019 so the members are wanting to reconnect and be engaged,” said AZSA Executive Director Amy Amideo. “There are so many reasons to celebrate, however, the main reason is this is AZSA’s 25-year anniversary.

Our vendors are a fusion of new technologies as well as the tried and true. It’s great to be honoring our past while embracing our future.”
