Update 3/18/20 - The Inside Self-Storage World Expo has been rescheduled to July 21-24, still at The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. No action is needed from show participants who registered for the show’s original April dates. All attendee and exhibitor registrations will be automatically transferred to the July event, according to show officials.
“We understand there will be questions and concerns following this announcement, and we are working diligently to ensure all details and next steps are finalized and communicated in the coming weeks,” ISS officials said.
Attendees who cancelled their registration will be contacted by expo staff about re-registering. Participants can also e-mail [email protected] with questions or concerns. Any e-mail inquiries can expect to receive a reply within two business days, though due to the anticipated high volume, officials acknowledged there may be slight delays.
Show organizers will contact exhibitors directly within the next few days to discuss any immediate questions.
Participants who booked hotel rooms through the official show room block should have already received an e-mail from The Mirage with instructions on how to cancel their April reservation. Information regarding new reservations for the July dates is forthcoming. Anyone who booked a room outside room block or The Mirage will need to work directly with their hotel.
“Please know this decision was made with you in mind. Health and safety have been our top priority, and we feel this decision provides the best experience for all parties involved,” officials said. “Thank you for your continued understanding and support as we all navigate this unprecedented situation.”
Updates will be posted to the ISS website as well as the news page on the ISS World Expo website.
