ORLANDO, Fla. — Befitting the importance of energy and environmental topics to food retailers, the Food Marketing Institute's annual Energy & Technical Services Conference drew its usual robust crowd of retail engineers and maintenance managers Sept. 7-10 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate near Disney World here. The conference featured sessions on everything from energy costs and legislative updates to daylighting and refrigeration management.
