📍Gothenburg - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Emily Carter in Gothenburg 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!
Emily is hosting Swedish-style afterwork drinks (AW on "lilla lördag" - little Saturday!) with conversation prompts to spark meaningful connections. Whether you're outside enjoying the Swedish evening or cozy inside, it's the perfect way to celebrate generalist life with drinks and great conversation.
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
Meet local generalists in a relaxed bar setting
Share stories about your learning adventures and career pivots
Your host Emily is a former MarComms professional who has also studied genetics, nutrition, and gastronomic tourism just for fun. She's now focused on future of work, lifelong learning and works as a strategic workforce planner and HR data analyst. She also once learned how to make cheese! Her favorite part about being a generalist? "Constantly learning new things."
As Emily shares: "I'm most excited about meeting other generalists!" (And this is her first time hosting in Gothenburg - how exciting!)
