Once a year, leaders from the Mid-Atlantic come together to learn about the challenges and opportunities at Maryland’s ports. It all takes place at the Annual State of the Ports & Global Flavor Showcase. Beyond getting the lowdown from port leaders, attendees will have the chance to:
- Sample wines and food from around the world at the Global Flavor Showcase
- Learn about key challenges impacting international trade at our breakout sessions
- Network with the influential leaders driving economic growth in our region
- Hear the State of the Ports address directly from Maryland’s Secretary of Transportation
