📍Dubai - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Khushboo Mehta and Prerna Prasad in Dubai for International Generalist Day - a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 3rd, 2025.
This year we have events across 30+ countries and 80+ locations!
Khushboo and Prerna are hosting evening drinks with conversation prompts at Dubai Hills Mall, bringing together the city's generalist community for meaningful connections and idea exchange. As first-time hosts, they're creating a space for energy, curiosity, and the kind of collaborations that wouldn't happen otherwise.
What is a generalist? Professionals who apply their skills across multiple domains, connect disparate ideas, or serve as "translators" between different teams and disciplines. If you've ever felt your career doesn't fit in a single box, this celebration is for you.
What to expect:
Connect with fellow generalists in your city
Celebrate the power of diverse skillsets and squiggly careers
Be part of a global movement happening the same day worldwide
Evening drinks with thoughtful conversation prompts
Hear diverse perspectives and exchange innovative ideas
Your co-host Khushboo connects people, tells stories, and grows ideas into impact. Her favorite part about being a generalist? "Being able to connect dots across very different fields — from AI to sustainability to cross-cultural partnerships — and spotting patterns that others might miss. It gives me the flexibility to adapt, create unique solutions, and build bridges between people, industries, and ideas."
As they share: "We're most excited about the conversations — hearing diverse perspectives, exchanging ideas, and exploring how generalists can shape the future of work and innovation. For us, these events are about energy, curiosity, and sparking collaborations that wouldn't happen otherwise."
