Join Sensei Katherine at Inside Self Storage's Development Workshop
Self-Storage Ninjas founder Katherine D'Agostino will be speaking at the Inside Self Storage Development Workshop, presenting on the critical Planning Phase: Feasibility & Site Selection segment.
Drawing from her extensive experience developing successful self-storage facilities, Sensei Katherine will share insights on evaluating market potential, conducting thorough feasibility studies, and making smart site selection decisions that set your project up for long-term success. Whether you're planning your first facility or expanding your portfolio, this session will equip you with practical strategies to avoid costly mistakes and identify winning locations.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the industry's most dynamic voices in self-storage development!
Considering a new self-storage development or expansion? Before you invest thousands in a professional feasibility study, learn how to conduct your own preliminary analysis to determine if a market is worth pursuing.
Join Sensei Katherine D'Agostino at the Storage Nerds Workshop for "Learn How to Do Your Own Feasibility Study." In this hands-on session, Katherine will teach you the essential research and analysis techniques that can help you make informed go/no-go decisions early in the development process.
While banks and investors will still require an independent feasibility study—and you should too—there's a tremendous amount of groundwork developers can do themselves to evaluate market potential, identify red flags, and avoid wasting time and money on markets that don't pencil out.
This workshop will empower you with the tools and knowledge to conduct your own preliminary feasibility analysis, helping you confidently decide whether or not to pursue expanding or building in a particular market.
Perfect for both first-time developers and experienced operators looking to sharpen their market evaluation skills!
Some rooms change everything.
Not because of the content.
Not because of the schedule.
But because of the people in them.

Boat and RV storage is generally in high demand and short supply. But before you invest millions of dollars developing that project, you need to do your research and make sure that submarket can support your new facility. Boat and RV storage consumers are not the same as self storage consumers, and you cannot use the same metrics to establish demand for your facility. In this session, you’ll learn what the demand drivers are for boat and RV storage, and what criteria you should use to evaluate the market potential.
Location: Inside Self-Storage World Expo, Las Vegas, Nevada
