International Generalist Day — Lisbon
International Generalist Day 2026 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Terra Milo, Leticia Schuli, and Carolina Malta Vacas in Lisbon for International Generalist Day — a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 16th, 2026.
We're hosting a conversational networking event at Jardim da Estrela to connect Lisbon-area generalists to meet new people, talk about what it means to be a generalist, and play a bit of generalist bingo.
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
Bring something to sit on and a snack to enjoy if you want
About your host
Terra Milo is a project manager for a marketing agency. She considers herself a marketing generalist because she manages everything marketing-related, from website to copywriting to social media strategy.
Letícia Schuli is a CLXD - A community learning experience designer. You'll find her weaving communities, designing gatherings and facilitating connections. Being a generalist, for her, means bridging skills and perspectives from across these worlds to amplify her impact, while letting authenticity and curiosity lead the way.
Carolina Malta Vacas is a project manager who spent the past few years working as a sustainability generalist and is now looking for opportunities in tech. To her, being a generalist means navigating cross-functional problems across multiple domains at once and holding the big picture without losing the details.
