📍Montgomery, AL - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Philip Johnston in Montgomery 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!
Philip is hosting connections and conversation over drinks and snacks at The Tipping Point, a casual outdoor family-friendly bar that's perfect for exploring new ideas and meeting a wide variety of people. It's a rare opportunity to connect with like-minded generalists in the Southeast while enjoying the relaxed Alabama evening atmosphere.
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
Swap squiggly career stories and practical advice
Outdoor family-friendly bar atmosphere
