What Is Somali Networking Night?
Somali Networking Night (SNN) is the premier professional networking event for Somali professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and changemakers — wherever they are in the world.
SNN exists for the Somali professional. Across industries, across borders, across generations. Minneapolis is where we gather this September — but the community this event serves and the conversations it creates extend far beyond any single city.
What started as a gathering of 500 professionals at the Zawadi Center in February 2025 sold out at 600 guests by October 2025 — generating over 10 million media impressions across five major Somali television and digital media platforms worldwide, and earning a feature in Global Somali Magazine.
September 5, 2026 is the third edition. The room is bigger. The stage is higher. The conversation is broader.
What to Expect on the Night:
→ Keynote addresses from high-profile Somali leaders across technology, business, and civic life
→ Speed networking sessions engineered to create meaningful, lasting professional connections
→ Business showcases spotlighting innovative Somali-led brands, ventures, and services
→ Diaspora Dialogue — cross-sector conversations connecting the Somali professional world across borders and industries
→ Cultural celebration woven into every element of the evening
→ A fully professional, premium event experience at a Marriott Delta Hotels property
Who Is This For?
This evening is designed for Somali professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, students, and creatives from across the United States and the global diaspora — and for the first time at this scale, SNN is opening its doors to Corporate American partners, major foundations, city institutions, and high-profile professionals.
If you are building something, leading something, or looking to connect with people who are — this night is for you.
