The Long Table
Investor Dinner
The Long Table Investor Dinner is a single evening for 30 to 80 guests on a privatised plateau in the Agafay desert, 40 minutes from Marrakech. Guests arrive at golden hour, hear three short talks between courses and sit at one table, so that the conversation is the point of the evening.
Send a briefThe Idea
A dinner where people actually talk
Investor evenings tend to resemble each other: a reception, a stage, a seated dinner with assigned tables. People leave with a handful of business cards and few real conversations.
This format keeps everyone around one table. Three short talks, spaced between courses, give the evening its content without turning it into a conference. Between them, guests talk across the table, which is what investors and founders usually travel to do.
The setting keeps the evening focused. The plateau is closed to anyone but your guests, the horizon is open, and a fire gives the end of the evening somewhere to gather.
Audience
Who it is for
Hosts who want a dinner that people remember for the conversation:
- Funds hosting their limited partners or an annual meeting
- Organisers of investor summits and conferences in Morocco who want a closing dinner
- Private banks and wealth managers hosting clients and invited founders
- Business angels' networks and investment clubs
- Companies in Morocco welcoming international investors
Programme
How the evening unfolds
Timings are studied with you from the brief. A typical structure:
1 · Arrival at golden hour
Guests are collected in Marrakech and arrive on the plateau as the light turns gold. A short walk and a welcome let people meet before they sit.
2 · One table
A single long table, with the seating composed to mix funds, founders and guests of the host. Place cards are written by hand.
3 · Three short talks
Your speakers take the floor between courses, a few minutes each. The format keeps talks brief and the table engaged. Sound is discreet and no slides are needed.
4 · Dinner by a guest chef
A menu written for the occasion, served in the open air, with dishes adapted to each diet.
5 · Fire and conversation
Guests gather around the fire and the conversation continues.
