You are here : Events & Education  >  Webinars

SSA's Online University Legal Webinar program is a series of live, interactive web events presented by the best legal team in the self storage industry.

Who should tune in? These webinars are intended for owners, managers, and anyone concerned about day to day self storage legal issues.

Admission for the live webinars is FREE for SSA direct members and affiliated members on a first-come first-served basis.

To view and hear the webinar, you will need:

  • internet access, a computer with a sound card and speakers or a headset;
  • instructions on preparing your computer for the webinar;
  • to add education@selfstorage.org and invitations@livemeeting.com to your email's safe list so that your confirmation can be sent to you at the email address you provide on your registration.

What is a Webinar?

Short for Web-based seminar, it is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web using video conferencing software. A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.

All SSLN webinars are available for purchase after the presentation date.  Please contact gstengel@selfstorage.org for more information.

Nonmember price of $39.99 each
Member price of $29.99 each (will show for members after log in)
