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.
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.
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!
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.
