As the SBOA family continues to grow and evolve, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead for 2025. This spring, all roads lead to Las Vegas—and the SBOA has some major announcements and opportunities to share with you in person at the Inside Self-Storage (ISS) World Expo, April 22–25 at the Caesars Forum Conference Center.
See You at Booth #346!
We’ll be at Booth #346, and we’re not coming alone. We’re thrilled to be sharing our booth with two powerhouse teams:
SBOA Insurance Services – following our newly formalized partnership, the combined strength of SBOA and SBOA Insurance Services (powered by Alchemy Insurance Solutions), is now delivering even more value, service, and support to facility owners across the country.
Mercantile Services, Inc. – the leader in AI-enhanced mystery shopping and internal audit programs for the self-storage industry. Their cutting-edge technology and insightful reporting are helping operators identify service gaps, reduce risk, and improve customer experience like never before.
This shared space represents the best of what SBOA stands for: collaboration, innovation, and elevating operators with trusted solutions. Stop by and connect with all three teams—you’ll leave inspired and equipped with actionable strategies.

Making Insurance Simpler, Smarter & More Profitable

Eliminates the need for manual reporting
Provides in-platform rate visibility and form access
Improves the onboarding experience
Enhances claims response and support
This is just one example of how SBOA Tenant Insurance, powered by Alchemy Insurance Solutions, continues to reduce administrative burdens while increasing revenue and peace of mind for operators. We’re proud to be a forward-thinking partner, integrating with top facility management systems—and open to integrating with any platform our customers use, provided the capability exists.

This industry is built on relationships, resourcefulness, and resilience. And at SBOA, we’re honored to be your partner in all three. Whether you’re looking for reliable service providers, education that moves the needle, or just someone who understands the day-to-day challenges of self-storage—we’ve got your back.
We can’t wait to see you in Las Vegas! Let’s connect, collaborate, and keep building something great—together.
