Kansas City - International Generalist Day
International Generalist Day 2026 🌍 — Kansas City
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Stephanie in Kansas City for International Generalist Day — a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 16th, 2026.
We're keeping it simple: coffee, conversation, and the career stories that don't fit on a resume.
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 Kansas City
✨ Celebrate the power of diverse skill sets and squiggly careers
🎤 Generalist storytelling — hear real career-path stories that don't fit a straight line
💬 Open conversation on the morning's theme: what is a generalist, anyway?
🌍 Be part of a global movement happening the same day in cities worldwide
☕ Coffee, low pressure, come and go. Nobody's watching the clock.
📍 Meeting at Artifact Coffee & Goods, 310 W 8th St, Garment District. Six-minute walk from the North Loop (7th & Main St) streetcar stop.
Whether you're just starting out, mid-journey, or looking back on a career full of variety, you'll walk away with stories and insights to inspire your own generalist path.
About your host
Stephanie has worked in journalism, retail, ecommerce, telecom, and now runs her own firm building AI-powered systems for small teams. She started hosting this because she spent years trying to explain her resume in one sentence and finally stopped trying.
This meetup is run by Stephanie Maassen-Deason 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.
