📍Antwerp - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Vera Lakmaker in Antwerp 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!
Vera is hosting evening drinks with the option of board games or a round of Pétanque - the perfect blend of casual socializing and playful competition. It's all about meeting fellow idea-zigzaggers and sparking the kind of unexpected combinations that lead to weird and wonderful collaborations.
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
Evening drinks in a relaxed Antwerp setting
Board games or Pétanque for playful connections
Parking available at the Groenplaats
Your host Vera is a historian-turned-AI tinkerer who blends games, tech, and human stories into unexpected tools and narrative systems—and refuses to pick a lane. Her favorite part about being a generalist? "Connecting dots that shouldn't go together and seeing what happens when they do. I spot patterns through a historical, playful lens that starts with 'wait, can we even…?' and ends with 'huh, that actually worked.'"
As Vera shares: "I'm most excited about meeting other idea-zigzaggers like me. Hoping to spark unexpected combos, launch new side quests, and maybe even trigger some weird collaborations."
