International Generalist Day — Cologne

​International Generalist Day 2026 🌍

​Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!

​Join us in Cologne for International Generalist Day — a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 16th, 2026.

​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.

​We're hosting a casual meetup at NaiNai Bao to connect Cologne-area generalists, and chat, swap stories, connect and enjoy food together.

​What to expect:

• ​Connect with fellow generalists in your city

• ​Enjoy a casual meal with others while swapping stories about being a generalist

• ​Celebrate the power of diverse skillsets and squiggly careers

• ​Be part of a global movement happening the same day worldwide

​About your host

​Jay is a generalist with a background in video games, startups, and complex technology. She’s endlessly curious about people, places, and how things work... and happiest when she’s learning, exploring, or eating something delicious. :)

​This meetup is run by Jay 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
