SINCE 2019
The Annual MN Conference
Where it all began. Each year, hundreds of Somali professionals gather in Minneapolis — the cultural capital of the North American diaspora — for three days of keynotes, networking, and homecoming. The MN edition has welcomed delegates from 24 US states and 5 countries, and it remains the heartbeat of the SNABPI movement.
