📍İstanbul - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Büşra Serdar in İstanbul for International Generalist Day - a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 2nd, 2025.
This year we have events across 30+ countries and 80+ locations!
Büşra is hosting coffee connections and career story sharing in Caddebostan, combined with a skills swap session where you can discover what amazing talents fellow İstanbul generalists have to offer. It's the perfect intimate setting to connect with local professionals who share your belief that everything feels learnable!
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
Casual socializing with İstanbul's creative generalist community
Intimate conversations about the joy of continuous learning
Your host Büşra is a community practitioner who also has design, research, performing arts, and entrepreneurship under her arms - and crochets like there's no tomorrow! Her favorite part about being a generalist? "Everything feels learnable."
As Büşra shares: "I'm excited about finding more generalists in İstanbul!"
