Press Release Body = KANSAS CITY, MO. - FEBRUARY 23, 2007 - Get ready to resale.The
National Portable Storage Association, or NPSA, is gearing up for its biannual
Resale Expo Conference. This year's event features insider information about the
state of the industry - and what the future holds - at the Monterey Plaza Hotel &
Spa in Monterey, Calif. April 29-May 1. Some of the industry's most knowledgeable
leaders will be on hand to share strategies for success.

"The Resale Expo is a premier event that gathers together top names in portable
storage for a meeting of the minds," said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of
the NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the
portable storage industry. "This conference will promote learning, business
opportunities, networking and camaraderie with pertinent educational programs and an
open exchange of ideas between members, sponsors and guests."

The conference kicks off with a Sunday evening networking reception so participants
can get acquainted in a relaxed setting before the workshops get under way first
thing Monday morning. John Maccarone, CEO of Textainer Equipment Management, will
offer the state of the industry address and Mike Baldwin, President of ConGlobal,
will speak on issues affecting container depots in two speeches industry
stakeholders won't want to miss.

Resale Expo 2007 participants will also enjoy some fun in the California sun at a
golf outing at the famed Bayonet & Black Horse golf course. Those who would rather
shop till they drop can hop on the Carmel Shopping Shuttle for a ride to Carmel
Plaza, with its 50 unique shops and restaurants in a courtyard setting, the Barnyard
Shopping Village with its acres of colorful flowers, shopping and dining, or the
Crossroads Shopping Center with its English village ambiance. Monday night features
a networking reception and dinner at the world famous Pebble Beach Resort, where
participants will enjoy fine dining as they overlook the Pacific Ocean.

The industry education picks up again on Tuesday with GE SeaCo Vice President Tim
Britton's take on macroeconomics and its implications on container leasing, supply
and demand, followed by Steven Blust, President of the Institute of International
Container Lessors and his insights on the portable storage industry. Tuesday will
also feature up-to-date information on the latest factory production strategies in
China and round tables of professionals discussing best practices and methods for
the portable storage industry. Tuesday's network reception is an old-fashioned beach
clambake, the perfect setting to relax and unwind as the conference comes to an end.


"We are grateful to our sponsors for helping us make this the best Resale Expo yet,"
says NPSA Operations Manager Joel Rathbone. "There's something here for every
stakeholder in the portable storage industry. This event is sure to offer keys that
