The 2024 FMI Energy & Store Development Conference in Baltimore, September 23-26, 2024, was packed with great moments, and here are a few standouts.
We kicked off the inaugural E+SD Women's Community Networking Breakfast, bringing together incredible women in the food retail refrigeration, energy, sustainability and store development space. The Manufacturer Retailer Exchange was a hit, where retailers connected with suppliers and discovered innovative products. Attendees gained valuable insights from inspiring speakers, and we even celebrated with a fun night at the Maryland Science Center! To top it all off, retailers dove into the Hussmann Evolve Mobile Experience, where expert-led workshops on sustainable refrigeration solutions took center stage.
We broke attendance records once again with over 780 attendees. What a fantastic event!
