International Generalist Day 2026 — Kansas City

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.
