International Generalist Day — Bristol
International Generalist Day 2026 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Arna in Bristol for International Generalist Day — a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 16th, 2026.
Arna is hosting a co-working morning, followed by lunch at Elementa Workspace at Temple Meads to connect Bristol-area generalists— we'll swap stories and make new connections with a cuppa or two along the way.
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 your work laptop (or don't). While there will be a couple of short activities, you can tap in to any you fancy.
There will be a coffee/tea station available.
Nearby parking includes Temple Meads station or Gardiner Haskins Car Park.
Location is right by Temple Meads, so public transport options include bus, train, and even a water taxi!
About your host
Arna works in a fintech start-up-turned-scale-up, and began embracing her generalist capabilities a couple of years ago. Understanding how the intricate web of organisations are weaved together is invaluable, especially in times of great transformation. They say that a "Jack (or Jill) of all trades is a master of none", but remember the end of that phrase— "oftentimes better than a master of one".
This meetup is run by Arna and organised by Generalist World - the community where generalists belong. You'll find everything you need to grow in your career - support, opportunity, lots of learning and great new connections.
Please note, you do not need to be a member of GW to join a meetup, everyone is welcome
