📍Lagos - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Ruby Igwe in Lagos 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!
Ruby is hosting coffee connections and career story sharing combined with a skills swap session with local generalists. It's the perfect opportunity to connect with Lagos's vibrant generalist community while learning from each other's diverse experiences and expertise.
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
Coffee connections and meaningful career story sharing
Skills swap session with local generalists
Your host Ruby is a lawyer turned operator who writes and is happiest managing people. Her favorite part about being a generalist? "The many hats I get to wear, and the multiple things I can do."
As Ruby shares: "I want to learn" - embodying the curious spirit that makes generalists so powerful.
A huge thanks to ALX Nigeria for providing the venue for our Lagos International Generalist Day celebration!
