📍Melbourne - International Generalist Day EVENING Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Melanie Calleja in Melbourne for International Generalist Day - a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 2nd, 2025.
We are running 2 events on the same day to accommodate more people's preferences. If you are more a morning person, check out the morning event! https://lu.ma/wezs7u0t 🌞
This year we have events across 30+ countries and 80+ locations!
Melanie is hosting generalist-flavoured facilitated networking with evening drinks, conversation prompts, and the promise of good vibes and even better conversation. Get ready for the kind of interesting and deep conversations that attendees rave about long after the event ends.
Free to attend, however, drinks/nibbles are self-funded
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
Good vibes and the kind of deep, interesting conversations people remember
Prompt cards to help curate your conversation
Structured activities designed to spark meaningful connections
As Melanie shares: "I'm most excited about the conversations! Every event I get the feedback that people had some of the most interesting and deep conversations that they have had in a while. I love that across the globe these kind of conversations will be happening 😊"
