About this event
The expo brings together facility and maintenance professionals with vendors that supply equipment, materials and services for commercial buildings. Past exhibitor categories have included materials handling gear, warehousing and distribution equipment, HVAC, lighting, scaffolding and plant maintenance products.
Attendance is set up as a single day with morning to early afternoon hours, which makes it practical for managers who cannot step away for long. The format leans toward conversations with vendor staff rather than long sessions, so bring a list of specific issues you want to raise.
The 2026 edition took place on February 12, 2026 at the same venue, and the organizer lists the 2027 date on its events calendar. Confirm the date and hours on the organizer page before you plan travel, since calendar listings can change.
Who should go
- Self-storage operators handling unit doors, lighting and site upkeep
- Facility managers and building owners planning yearly maintenance work
- Maintenance leads comparing equipment and service vendors
- Plant engineers and safety supervisors reviewing products for their sites
Why it matters for robots
Several exhibitor categories at this expo, such as materials handling and facility maintenance products, overlap with equipment that self-storage sites already use or consider. Walking the floor can help a manager see how automated cleaning, lighting and access tools are set up and maintained in practice.
Be realistic about what a regional maintenance expo offers. It is a good place to ask vendors how a system is serviced, what routine upkeep looks like and how staff are trained, rather than a place to judge technical performance from a booth demo alone.
