📍Austin - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Jess Pigott in Austin 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!
Jess is hosting a Southern-style lunch at Fixe Southern House where you can enjoy elevated comfort food (think deviled eggs, shrimp & grits, buttery biscuits) in a warm and lively setting. This open-house style gathering has a come-as-you-are vibe - pop in for a quick hello or stay for the full lunch, whatever works for you!
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
Flexible participation - stay as long or short as your schedule allows
This year we have events across more than 25 countries - last year we had 23 cities and close to 1,000 people celebrating together!
More details:
Parking: Downtown parking available (no valet service)
Just bring yourself, an appetite, and optionally business cards/LinkedIn QR codes for networking

Jess Pigott is an endlessly curious, boundary-savvy generalist who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, weaving order out of chaos while championing wellness, meaningful connection, and the occasional perfectly timed pun. Her approach perfectly embodies the generalist ability to create clarity and foster collaboration across different domains.
From Jess: "I can't wait to see what happens when a group of squiggly-career generalists come together over biscuits and conversation. I love the serendipity of new connections, the energy that comes from swapping stories, and the chance to create a space where people can just show up as they are."
