Meet Up with Helen Merz

A Creative Community Gathering for South Jersey Entrepreneurs

Meet Up with Helen Merz was created to be more than just a networking event. It’s a casual, inspiring space for business owners, creatives, and community builders to connect, collaborate, and grow—together.

Rooted in the heart of South Jersey, this quarterly meetup brings together passionate entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

We come together to:

Share ideas and inspiration
Workshop challenges and solutions
Celebrate wins (big and small!)
Uplift each other’s goals and dreams

This isn’t about stiff handshakes or awkward elevator pitches—it’s about real conversations and genuine connection. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, supported, and more in love with the work you do.

Where We Meet

Each meetup is hosted in person at a local business in the South Jersey area. Whether we're grabbing mocktails at Mercantile 1888 in Collingswood, enjoying a walk to Cabana's Ice Cream in Haddon Heights, or keeping it playful at a neighborhood bowling alley—every location is intentionally chosen to support and spotlight the amazing businesses that make our community special.

We encourage attendees to support the host venue by purchasing food, drinks, or goodies when applicable. It’s one more way we invest in each other.
