📍Edinburgh - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Agnese Sardella and Kelly Ling in Edinburgh 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!
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:
🌍 Global vibes, local connections – Meet fellow generalists in your city while being part of a worldwide celebration happening on the same day.
💡 Celebrate squiggly careers – Share stories, swap ideas, and embrace the power of diverse skill sets that don’t fit neatly in a box.
🤝 A space just for us – We’ve reserved a private spot in the Old Town to make connecting easy and relaxed.
🥂 Casual after-work hangout – Grab your own drink (and food if you fancy) while diving into conversations that spark curiosity.
✨ Come as you are – No pitches, no pressure, just a chance to connect with people who love learning across disciplines.
📚 Bring a spark of inspiration – A book, quote, podcast, or idea that shaped your journey as a generalist - we’ll share and swap sources of curiosity.
Special thanks to Chaophraya for generously hosting us in their private space.
