International Generalists Day Amsterdam

​International Generalist Day 2026 - Amsterdam

​Imagine walking into a room full of people with wildly different skills, interests and squiggly career paths. Now imagine they’re willing to teach you something.

​On September 15, Generalist World Amsterdam is back for our third International Generalist Day. We will be part of a global celebration bringing generalists together in cities around the world.

​Last time, 80 cities around the world and thousands of generalists joined in. And every year every city chooses their own format.

​So this year in Amsterdam we want to welcome you to the...

​Skill Bazaar 🎪

​We asked our community one question:

​If you could teach people one thing in 10–15 minutes, what would it be?

​Nine generalists raised their hands. And what they’re bringing is, appropriately, a wonderfully mixed bag.

​Expect a mix of practical, creative, playful, work-related and the unexpected skills that you can have a taste of.

​There’s no stage and no long line-up of talks. Instead, our Skill Merchants set up around the space.

​The format: Pick a station. Learn something. Hear the bell. Move on and discover something new.

​Follow your curiosity, try a few things and meet the people around you. You might leave with something useful for tomorrow, or something completely unnecessary that you’re delighted to know.

​International Generalist Day is made by the community, for the community.

​This year, the community is the programme.

​📅 September 15, 2026

​Btw

​Still burning to share something yourself?

​Our line-up is nearly set, but we’re generalists, we like leaving a door open.

​Reply to the event email and tell us what you’d love to teach.

​Come curious.

​See you at the bazaar.

​Shout out to Netlify for sponsoring International Generalist Day 2026!

​Netlify is how generalists gets an idea live on the web. One of our members put it simply: "I already had a plan for what I wanted to create, but it came up with solutions and ideas I'd never have thought of."
