Smerconish Mingle Meetup Philadelphia #9

The Mingle Meetup – Round Nine!
Thursday, June 25 | 5:30–8:00 p.m.
📍 El Poquito, Chestnut Hill
🍸 Happy Hour & Mingling: 5:30–6:00 p.m.
🗣️ Group Discussion Begins: 6:00 p.m.

We’re excited to gather again for our ninth Philly Mingle Meetup and continue building something that has become increasingly special with each gathering.

What began as a small experiment has grown into a community of more than 15 s5 members—people connected by curiosity, respectful dialogue, and a desire to engage with ideas and one another in meaningful ways. Every meetup has brought thoughtful conversation, new perspectives, and connections that extend beyond a single evening, and we’re looking forward to continuing that momentum.
As always, the first half hour is dedicated to casual mingling (with happy hour pricing available)—a chance to grab a drink, meet someone new, reconnect with familiar faces, and settle in before our group discussion begins at 6:00. A quick reminder: attendees are responsible for their own food and drinks.

Sign-ups remain simple and open:
If you RSVP—whether marked as “going” or listed on the waitlist, you are welcome to attend. Meetup’s RSVP limits won’t prevent participation, so if you’ve added your name, we hope you’ll join us.

Inspired by The Mingle Project, these gatherings are designed for people who value thoughtful conversation, openness to different viewpoints, and listening as much as speaking. Expect good food, relaxed conversation, and discussion around the ideas shaping our communities and everyday lives.
Have topics you’d love the group to explore? Send them along—we’re always looking for new questions and fresh perspectives to spark conversation.

Whether this is your first meetup or your ninth, we’d love to have you there.

Looking forward to another great evening together.
