AI in Self Storage: Separating Hype from Reality
The self storage industry is at an inflection point with AI adoption. But between the vendor promises and the skepticism, what's actually working?
This roundtable brings together operators at different stages of the AI journey—from early adopters to those still evaluating—for an honest conversation about what's changed, what hasn't, and what's next.
The host, Lumio, has been working with self-storage owners ranging from national top 25 operators to mom & pop facilities and has seen it all.
