N'ss N'ss or Atay? | Moroccan Business Connections

Whether your morning calls for a classic N'ss N'ss (half espresso, half warm foamed milk) or a freshly poured glass of Moroccan Atay (mint tea), start your day connecting with fellow Moroccan professionals, founders, entrepreneurs, and executives from across St. Pete and the greater Tampa Bay area.

This is not a rigid card-swapping meetup or a room full of sales pitches. It’s an intentional morning gathering designed to build genuine relationships, share deal flow, explore collaborations, and strengthen our local professional network—anchored in authentic Moroccan café culture and hospitality.

• 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM | Welcome Pour & Open Mingling Grab your N'ss N'ss, Atay, or coffee of choice. Check in, grab a seat, and connect informally with early arrivals.
• 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM | Around the Room (Introductions) A quick round of structured 30-second intros: who you are, what you’re working on, and one resource, contact, or collaboration you’re currently looking for.
• 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM | Strategic Networking & Collaboration Open-ended conversation to follow up on the morning’s intros, exchange contact info, and discuss business opportunities before heading into the workday.

• Moroccan business owners, startup founders, and independent operators
• Professionals across real estate, finance, technology, law, healthcare, and creative industries
• Anyone in the Moroccan professional diaspora looking to expand their local footprint and support community ventures
