CG/LA Infrastructure

What CG/LA Infrastructure does

CG/LA Infrastructure is a privately-held infrastructure advisory and events company founded in 1987 by Norman F. Anderson and headquartered in Washington, DC, with a secondary office in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The firm operates a multi-pillar business: a Leadership Forum Series convening infrastructure decision-makers globally; tiered membership programs (Strategic at $100K/year capped at 30 organizations; Regional at $60K/year; Blueprint 2025 at $30K/year); event sponsorships (Platinum/Gold/Silver tiers); and proprietary research including the Strategic 100 project rankings and sector-specific reports.

The company's core technology asset is the GViP (Global Infrastructure Visualization Platform), launched in 2020 — an algorithm-driven platform connecting project developers with sources of expertise (engineering & construction firms, technology providers, capital), business developers with project opportunities, and investors with vetted deals. GViP is offered in tiered subscriptions spanning Project Services (from $99/year), Member Services ($495-$4,950 + revenue share), Store Services, and a premium GViP+ For Institutions tier introduced in 2022. The firm's proprietary data assets include three databases tracking top-100 projects across four regions, supporting recurring research products and event programming.

The go-to-market is hybrid: event-driven (50+ forums convened across global markets over 30+ years, each attracting 400+ executives and projecting projects worth hundreds of billions of dollars in aggregate) and community-led (Strategic/Regional membership programs and GViP digital engagement). Revenue streams are predominantly subscription/recurring — memberships, event sponsorships, and GViP subscriptions — supplemented by one-time report sales ($395-$1,995). Customers include federal and municipal governments, private infrastructure developers, engineering and construction firms, institutional investors, and technology providers, with named recognition given to projects such as New Jersey Wind Port, Port of Montreal Contrecoeur Terminal, Solidarity Transport Hub Poland, and Los Angeles Metro Crenshaw North Extension. The firm is privately held by founding leadership, with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.
