# CLG Attends the 2025 Virginia State of the Port

We were proud to attend the Virginia State of the Port Luncheon, hosted by [The Port of Virginia](https://www.portofvirginia.com/) and celebrated in style the evening before with the Taste of Virginia—a culinary showcase of the Commonwealth’s finest flavors—sponsored by the [Hampton Roads Global Commerce Council (HRGCC)](https://hrgcc.org/).  
****

The two-day celebration was packed with high-energy networking opportunities, bringing together key voices from The Port of Virginia, the maritime industry, and a diverse array of stakeholders—from global and regional trade leaders. Whether aboard the scenic cruise, mingling at the Taste of Virginia, or exchanging insights during the State of the Port luncheon, every moment was a chance to spark new ideas and strengthen the bonds that drive our industry forward.
