This is the perfect opportunity to network with owners and operators in the state. There will be plenty of time during the meeting to meet and greet self storage members before the meeting begins, during lunch and on breaks. Sponsors will receive a few minutes to introduce themselves and address the attendees. Each year our members are constantly requesting more vendors and suppliers attend the meeting. They are eager to hear from you!

Anti-Trust Statement

It is the unqualified policy of the Illinois Self Storage Association’s to conduct its operations in strict compliance with the antitrust laws of the United States. The antitrust policy prohibits any discussions which may constitute or imply an agreement or understanding concerning:

1. prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale;

2. profits or profit margins or cost data;

3. market shares, sales territories or markets;

4. allocation of customers or territories;

5. selection, rejection or termination of customers or suppliers;

6. restricting the territory or markets in which a company may resell products;

7. restricting the customers to whom a company may sell; or

8. any matter which is inconsistent with the proposition that each owner, operator, manufacturer, wholesaler, and distributor must exercise its independent business judgment in pricing its services or products, dealing with its customers and suppliers and choosing markets in which it will conduct business.

Non-solicitation Policy

While the ILSSA welcomes non-exhibiting vendors who have paid an admission fee to our conference & trade show, all SSA-managed states have a strict suitcasing policy. Non-exhibiting vendor companies may not solicit business via distribution of any materials, including but not exclusively, printed materials or handouts,

on the Illinois Self Storage conference trade show floor. Also, non-exhibiting vendor companies may not conduct meetings and/or presentations within the conference & trade show facility and surrounding premises owned by said facility during conference & trade show hours.

Exhibiting vendors, ILSSA members, and staff who witness such activity are asked to gather printed materials and/or event invitations and provide them to the Illinois Self Storage Conference and Trade Show staff, showing that a direct violation of this policy is about to take place or has taken place.

Any violation of this policy will result in an invoice and charge equal to the fee for one exhibit table being submitted for payment by the offending member/organization. The offending individual or company shall be banned from any future ILSSA activities until said invoice is paid in full. Alternatively, ILSSA may charge the non-exhibiting vendor’s credit card for the booth fee without providing any further notice to the non-exhibiting vendor. The non-exhibiting vendor consents to the credit card charge and agrees not to make a chargeback request related to such charge.
