📍Manchester - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Ece Kurtaraner and Ayisatu Oladunni in Manchester 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!
They are hosting a casual dinner and drinks type of gathering where you can enjoy amazing Indian street food while diving into meaningful conversations about generalist life, navigating the future of work, and flexible working. Come hungry for both food and connection!
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
Guided conversation prompts about generalist life and future of work
Discussion on flexible working and career navigation
Your co-host Ece is the community queen of Generalist World and a self-proclaimed craft hoarder who's passionate about bringing people together. Her favorite part about being a generalist? "Generalists are the best - I love working with Generalist World!"
As Ece shares: "I'm most excited about bringing hundreds of people all over the world together" - and Manchester is a key part of that global celebration!
